“My sister is living at Riverbend. The facility is older and the staff overall is warm and welcoming. We have worked with Ally and she is very impressive. I have talked to Ally early in the day and received updates from her as late as 10:00 at night. She is professional, knowledgeable, responsive and compassionate.”

★Maine Payne · 2026-02-24 · via Google

“Notable, many of the positive reviews mention the great staff. It doesn't feel like a coincidence. Especially given the gravity of the other real experiences shared resulting in poor ratings. All to say there is no excuse for poor management.”
