We're going with The Meetinghouse at RiverFront. My grandmother's room is being held until she's ready to move in. It seemed like it was very updated, clean, and tidy. All of the people that were living there seemed very friendly, nice, and welcoming as well as the staff. The rooms were good, enough for what she was looking for. The meals were included. They had a wide range of activities.

The Meetinghouse at RiverFront had a nice apartment. They also had studios (the single rooms) that were very nice, and the bathroom was more into the room. Just touring it, everybody was so friendly, even the clients were so friendly not even knowing why I was there to say hello. I liked the setup. It seemed very well kept. Everybody was very sociable. The one big thing I liked about the room is that it had big windows. There was a lot of light that came in, which in winter is a problem for me. These windows let a lot of light during the day. And there, I can have some help come in as I needed if I want. They don't have assisted living but several companies will go there that provide help for people. I ate lunch there and it was very nice. I know they have activities, but I didn't look at the list. I only met one staff. She was very accommodating.

The residents at The Meetinghouse seemed very friendly. The place is clean, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and very helpful. They have an opportunity for religious services. They have a small hair salon to get their hair done and a small convenience store set up. There are washers and dryers on every floor, great elevators, and a common area.
The staff was great. Both people I met were really nice. Everything was very clean and just seemed very well taken care of.
The dining room was not a catering kind of thing. People would just order and get their food. It's nice and open. There are windows to the courtyard, and the tables are fairly spaced.

My wife's aunt is going to The Meetinghouse at Riverfront. It seemed really nice and it was the only one in her price range. She's going to be using their support services. The staff was very pleasant, and they weren't selling at all. They were basically just making sure it was the right place for my wife's aunt. They have a lot of activities. We met the activities director. All the people that live there were very pleasant. It wasn't depressing at all. It's built in 1999, so it's not too old. It looked nice, and it was clean. They've got nice grounds. They serve three meals a day, and they have a menu, and it's a good assortment.

“My mother-in-law loves this place, so do we. Great environment, awesome people, and did I mention the food?” We never worry about her like we use too. The staff are incredible, the social events are always changing for them. It really is a family atmosphere. We recommend the Meetinghouse to everyone.

This community was great when my mom moved in. Then they hired a new director. Moral, attitude and the vibe went down very quickly. Staffing is a huge issue. Nobody stays. There is a high turnover and everyone says it's because of the person in charge and owners don't care. The food is also terrible. They make promises they won't keep. Go elsewhere.

My sister is a resident of The Meetinghouse at Riverfront. They check on her every now and then, but it's not assisted living. They provide three meals a day, and her first impressions have been very good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is near a river and my sister can see the river from her window. They also have courtyard and they told me they have beautiful flowers during the spring and summer. There's a van that takes them shopping or to doctors' appointments and things of that sort. It has a facility for a hairdresser, movies, and things going on all the time. She has a 1-bedroom with a very large bathroom, it has a very small kitchenette without a stove or anything, and she has a microwave. It's big enough for her bed, a TV, and a dresser. She's happy with it, and that's all she needs. I'm certainly very impressed with what I've seen so far.

This is an excellent facility. We went on many tours (too many to count) and The Meetinghouse was by far the best place for my mother. All staff is kind, loving, professional and very helpful. My mother enjoys the food and all of the activities. This place is kept very clean with attention to detail. We would highly recommend The Meetinghouse At Riverfront.

Meetinghouse at Riverfront was lovely. Their prices were much better, and they can continue on with Medicare patients. For my mom, this is going to be a better fit if she ever decides to come. They actually had a couple different options. They had bigger apartments, and then some studios. They had a variety of places at Riverfront. They would not provide furniture except for the basics like microwave and refrigerator.

The Meetinghouse was a very good place to live. The staff were very good and very helpful. The apartments were spacious and very clean. The dining room was very clean, very beautiful, and very elegant. They have bingo, church, and a bus that goes out everyday to doctors' appointments, which is very convenient.

Meetinghouse At Riverfront is a very nice place although it's an old facility and it's not up-to-date as compare to others. They have a lot of covered space; in fact the rooms have large storage and walk-in closet. The staff were also very nice.
