“I am a resident here at Riverside.. I've been here only a few months, but so far I've had a good experience... I've had several strokes, and only have Medicaid. My options are limited. The central air conditioner was broken when I got here, but, my room had a window unit. ( Much appreciated when the temps reached 100° plus) Okay, if you're expecting a " bougie" place in Trenton, well this isn't it…”
