Riverstone

I went to look at Riverstone. I liked the entrance and the ambiance that they had. I liked the facility. Generally, I did not like the residential rooms. They're outdated and look kind of dingy. The appliances looked cheap and outdated. The shower was an older style. When you walk into the common area, they have a pretty stone fountain pond in the front. They played beautiful jazz music over speakers. The dining area looked nice. The people looked happy enough there. The staff was nice. The food looked good. They had a beauty salon.

I enjoyed Riverstone. It was very, very nice and posh. As soon as you walk in, you think that you're walking into a grand hotel or something. The lady who gave the tour was very good. Everybody was very friendly. I had lunch there in their very nice dining area and the food was a five-star. Overall, it's a very nice place. They have a physical therapy place, a gym, and a separate place for bingo. However, they have not responded in the same way as all the other facilities I visited. I've only got one response after I got there and I haven't heard anything else from them. There's one facility that I went to that has sent me something in my emails or things. For me, that's a special thing.

Riverstone has most of what I'm looking for, so I'm considering that place. It's in a more secluded street and easier to get to. What I like best, is the location and the friendly atmosphere. They even have a resident take me to lunch and answer any questions I have. The apartment is about the same size as the other place I toured. It's just been remodeled so everything's fresh and new. The location is not on a busy street, so I won't be afraid to drive there. They had a nice salad bar, and they had several entrees. I was there for lunch, but they said they had breakfast and dinner too. The dining room was full of people enjoying the food. It wasn't extremely good, it was like home-cooked. The staff members who gave the tour were all wonderful.

I'm moving into Riverstone this march. The woman whom I dealt with and who showed me around was absolutely fantastic. She could not be any better: the way she presented everything, how she showed it, and the follow up that she did was absolutely fantastic. All the residents that I came in contact with are lovely. I saw them participating in things, I saw them eating, and it was all first class. The facility is lovely. They are redecorating all the common areas starting March 1. The apartments were very adequate, well arranged, clean, and had lots of storage, but it wasn't quite as modern as the other place. The layout is great.

We really enjoyed our tour of Riverstone. It was fantastic. We were there for three hours, they went over every little detail with us, and we really appreciated that. The room was great. We looked at three different rooms and we decided on one of the larger 2-bedrooms with a balcony. I liked all the activities they had. I liked their dining, we met the chef, they had a little area that had a fireplace that's nice and cozy, and it had a little bar if you want to bring your own alcohol or wine or whatever and drink. They had a nice exercise room, and you can get a garage there for extra $85 a month, which we're really impressed with. They had valet parking and a concierge that will take care of your needs. If you want to book an outing or whatever, they'll take care of all the arrangements for you. They have a bus that will take you to doctors' appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Mondays and Wednesdays will be shopping days. After the Covid is over, they have all kinds of little bus trips. My husband was really impressed with the prime ribs at the Sunday brunch. They even had a sign up welcoming us to the establishment. Everybody greeted us. The woman and her husband manage the place and live there, and the woman welcomed us and told us about everything else and that if the person we talked to wasn't there, to let her know and they'll take care of anything 24 hours a day. We really liked it. It was updated and modern. They're #1 on our list right now. My husband said he liked the kitchen cabinets and the appliances. They had flat top stoves. It had a nice atrium. He didn't really have anything negative about it. He would feel comfortable living in a place like that. It almost has a cruise-like atmosphere. There are many things you can do there instead of just being in your room or being just in the atrium. Their theater was great. I was very impressed with that. It's close to shopping, and they had a bus set up. The staff was excellent and very accommodating. He's excited about moving out of the house and going into something like that. It will take the work away, like working on the yard, all the maintenance, all the headache, and just go enjoy yourself and have a lot of fun with the people. We met some of them in the hallway. Even with the Covid, we had our masks on, just to get a feel for the place. We talked to the hairdresser and everybody was very friendly and down to earth.

I toured Riverstone and I enjoyed it. They served us a meal there, which was very good. The rooms were adequate, but I need a lot of room, so it was just OK. I saw their amenities, like the activity rooms, and it was a nice community. The people there were all very cordial, they were smiling, and happy. But there wasn't really anything particular that stood out to me.
