RiverWick

My father has been in RiverWick for about three weeks now and he likes it. He cuts up and carries on out there with them and everything. I knew a lot of people that have their relatives up there. They've got great people that work there. The administrator is great. They involve themselves with the residents. I would rate the food great. My dad's a picky eater, so there are some days he doesn't eat what they bring. They get three homecooked meals, not out of a package. If they make lasagna, they make it fresh. If they make spaghetti, they make it fresh. It's like a home away from home. It's just great. They have the option if the person can take a shower by himself. They have a room where the towels and washcloths are. They've got the big shower and a seat in there and a slip-proof pad and everything for your feet. You can shower like that or they've got a walk-in tub, but it's got like a 3 or 4-inch height difference. It would have to be somebody that's still able to balance their weight. It's pricy. On the average base, you would take 108 x 31, and that's gonna be over $3000. What my dad draws in VA and with his Disability/Social Security, I would have to put $12 with it, but he is also able to get the ball rolling on the $2050. Therefore, he'll still have money left a month. When he took the tour, he didn't want to leave. He wound up eating supper with them. We were just going to do like 10 days at a time, but they said with dementia it would be probably better if he stayed there all the time, so we just decided to leave him there.

Could be better. Staff needs to be more attentive. Mom has diaper rash. Really just a bed and breakfast for old folks.

It is unbelievably good. The personnel is excellent, the facilities are excellent. I talk to other families and residents, and everyone has shown marked improvement since coming here. The layout looked like a resort community, I thought I could come here for a week, and have a good time. The food is great, and flexible, every service imaginable, and no extra charges, it's all included in the price.

We love Riverwick! It was a very difficult decision for my parents to leave their home of almost 50 years and the farm on which my father had always lived. It was with apprehension that they moved into Riverwick when the time came in 2012 that they needed assistance in daily living. It has been the best decision ever! Jim and ALL the staff are working in their calling. They are so kind and compassionate to all their residents. They go the extra mile to make sure their needs along with their wants are met. The building is always maintained and Jim makes sure it is wonderfully decorated for all occasions which adds so much to everyone's enjoyment. The staff is very sensitive to the resident's dietary preferences and restrictions. They are very accessible to the families when a question or concern arises. Riverwick is also a fun place! They have a variety of activities planned every day. We are very thankful and appreciative of this place that is now truly home for our parents. We love "coming home" to visit Mother and Daddy at Riverwick!

My loved one has only been here a short time, but so far everything has been great! It's a nice looking, clean community, and everyone has been very friendly! They take great care of the residents, and seem to have plenty going on to keep everyone entertained. We're very happy with it!
