"My sister and I visited River Valley Retirement, an independent living community, and made a few friends there. We got into deep conversations we couldn't finish. Just running into folks in the hallway, you automatically connect to them, and it was a shame that we couldn't just go sit somewhere and bond. It has excellent customer service, and the staff members were very professional and friendly. The community members, the ones that I ran into, had an opportunity to just walk down the hallway with us and bond with some folks immediately. When the women were gathered, I ran into some of them in the beauty parlor, they were all chatty. I just poked my head in there to ask if they are licensed with curly hair because working with it is a concern for me if I use a beauty parlor. The person there said that she was. Even with the women who were waiting, getting their hair done, the one who was servicing the ladies still took the time out to answer my question, and that was very important to me. They're very responsive to the questions, and I thought that was excellent. We got a package of three little cannolis, and they were the most delicious. I would say the dessert was excellent, and I'm looking forward to lunch. It was also very kind of the staff to offer the cannolis because I needed something after the trip, as we hadn't had lunch yet. It was an impromptu visit. That was another plus, too, because they were able to allow us to have the impromptu visit instead of the appointed date. I had spine surgery, and my twin sister is also a double knee replacement candidate, so it's a perfect facility to recuperate and enjoy with other people. You could socialize there, and we're very social and love talking and bonding with strangers. I love the fact that they have different types of exercises and recuperation methods onsite. I love the grounds, and the room was very clean and had everything that you needed. It had a kitchen, even if you wouldn't need a kitchen. I couldn't complain about anything about the facility. There was good parking, good transportation, and it's close to everything. You have a five-star facility right there. There are some other facilities in the area, but you have to take the ferry if you have to visit family members. With this, it's close by, and family members could stop by and see how you're recuperating, and that's important to me. My grandchildren can stop by with their mom and visit me."
