Riley’s Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care

I love Riley's Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care. That's where I would like to move my mom if I do move her. I thought they were wonderful. I toured the assisted living and the memory care. The people were very, very welcoming. It's a relatively new building. Everything was very open. It was very homey. They have a lot of amenities. The rooms were laid out a little bit nicer than where she's at. They have a beauty shop where she's at and Riley's has a beauty shop, too, but she also does nails, which my mother would love. If we were to have a family party like a taco party or something, we could come in and dine in the room that they have that is separate from their dining room. It was a gated community, so being that she has dementia (We are not sure if she has Alzheimer's yet), she would be pretty safe. Safety is my biggest concern. The dining room was very nice. I looked at the menu and it looked very nice. The location is wonderful. It's pretty centrally located for me because I live in Hamilton. The other thing is that they do a lot of activities with their people, and they take them on a lot of outings. The other day, the residents participate in a walkathon for Alzheimer's, and I thought that was special. A local business donated money that if they walk, they will get this money. The man who's in charge took all of these patients that were able out, and they had a really wonderful time. The staff who walked me through was wonderful. My mom has a little dog, and they don't have any dogs right now, they have a couple of cats, but one of the apartments we toured had a little patio cement slab outside the slider and they said that they would be willing to put a little fence up there for her dog. They were just absolutely wonderful and went out of their way to be accommodating.

Wonderful staff & facility. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Within one hour of my father moving in, everyone stopped to introduce themselves and welcome him. The next day, any staff not working the day before did the same thing. They get to know the resident, their likes, dislikes, and take the time to talk to them. They are very prompt at answering when residents push their pendant. Staff also gets to know the family and keeps them well informed. The entire facility gives a calming, home feeling. Always fresh smelling (no odors) and well kept. Lots of windows. Security is tight but not obvious. They follow COVID protocols to keep residents safe but again its not obvious...just part of the structure. Lots of variety in the food menu. They always have a standard list of food if you don't like the menu item. Kitchen staff know the residents and interact with them at meal time. Lots of opportunities to get involved with activities but never pushed. Everyone receives a personal invite to activities. The facility tour was very informative. They answered my questions before I could ask them. No pressure from the staff during the tour. I visited on my own and than returned for a second & third visit and they were always welcoming and open to questions. If you are considering assisted living, please make Riley's Grove one of your visits.

Beautiful new facility. Mom feels like she moved to a new “condo” not a room. But more than the wonderful accommodations is the AMAZING STAFF!!! We are so pleased fo have them taking care of mom :) They work so hard to meet the residents needs on every level.

Rooms and facilities are excellent. The staff has proven to be vary supportive and caring in making a life transition.

My Mom went there this past spring for respite care so I could go on Spring Break with my husband. At the end of the two weeks, she did not want to leave! She loved it and she is happy and socializing! The interactions with others has changed her immensely; her Alzheimer's disease has not advanced. In fact, in my non-medical opinion, being a part of this caring community has reversed some of her symptoms!! Riley's Grove has changed our lives!

We chose Riley's Grove for our parents for many reasons. The size of the apartments allowed us to make it feel more home like helping calm their anxiety of moving to a new place. The indoor and outdoor gathering areas encourage residents to meet new friends and mingle for events such as watching the Tigers game on the large TV, complete with snacks and penants or the patio dessert and music hour. The staff is extremely approachable and very understanding of the challenges of assisted living and are always offering encouragement to the residents and are ready to answer any questions family members may have. We have been kept informed of any issues or potential health concerns they may notice. Even discussing the little things such as different dinner utensils to make eating easier for my mom. Overall, we are very satisfied with the care and value Riley's Grove is providing for our parents.

The staff has always been exceedingly helpful & friendly. The facility is spacious & warm & truly feels like a nice home a resident would eagerly choose, & friends & relatives would gladly visit. There are a wide variety of interesting activities for mature adults, as opposed to other facilities that tend to only offer modified preschool arts & crafts. The musical activities seem to be the most appreciated.
