This facility is not a safe and nurturing place for your loved one. The staff is inadequate and negligent. The turnover is extremely high. The administration has been described to me by direct care staff as “children”, more concerned with playing hide and seek with their children in the facility than patient care. Infection control doesn’t exist. Staff walks out of the restroom with dirty gloves on touching handles and other patients. I watched an aide playing speed racer with my dad in his wheelchair. She pushed him ahead of her—like you would a shopping cart. Totally inappropriate. The do not monitor food intake. If your loved on doesn’t eat—oh well, that’s just too bad. Medical attention is severely lacking. You will receive a lot of lip service with no real follow up action. Please take your chances somewhere else. If you actually care about the person you are placing, please choose somewhere else.

I visited this facility
We visited River Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center and it was very impressive. I was just concerned that there was no television in the room, because that's what my husband does all day. Everything looked very nice, clean, and inviting, and the patients were up and about. I saw a music group while I was there. The staff was OK.

My wife has been staying at River Oaks for two months now. It's an Alzheimer's/dementia unit and so far I have been satisfied with the level of care and the way they treated her. They're able to see and work out problems better than an assisted living place. The whole unit is kind of in a circular walkway pattern, and they have different living room type areas, one of which has a large TV, and then they have a different unit for activities. They have a main dining area as well as other areas where they can serve people. The rooms are more than adequate, and they can provide them furnished if you want or you could bring in your own things. The hallways has chairs for people to sit down and rest, yet they're adequate for people who are on wheelchairs. It's a new place but has a certain home atmosphere, not hospital-sterile. They have bingo, singing, and crafts.

My mother was at River Oaks for two weeks. It was very nice. I looked at half a dozen places or so and found that they were the best and the most professional place and the cost was in line with the other places. The staff was very nice and very accommodating.

We went to River Oaks. They gave us a nice tour, however, they didn't have Medicaid, so that didn't qualify for us. It was a nice place, and that would have been a good choice. It was clean, kind of new, and wasn't rundown.

River Oaks is a wonderful facility for those suffering from dementia. It makes a big difference to have a facility that is focused on dementia residents - their staff is trained on the nuances of acting out, wondering, how to distract, make comfortable, etc. We reviewed and actually had mom in other facilities and none compared. The facility is new, clean and set up for dementia residents (like not having dark rugs that they might think is water, having hallways where they can continuously walk). My mother lived at River Oaks until her death and the staff made her stay as good as it could be for a person suffering with dementia. They became like a second family to my mother and treated her as such and they always made myself and our family feel welcome. They answered any questions I had. I was able to visit my mother at any time. If there were issues, we worked together on how best to help and make her comfortable. Anyone who is suffering with or has a family member suffering with dementia, knows how difficult it is and that it isn't easy - but River Oaks and their staff made it the best it could be. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for the residents and their families!
