The Rivers Unit staff, including caregivers like Kayla, receive special mention for their excellent care of residents, including personalized touches like playing a resident's favorite music on their birthday.

    Some reviews suggest areas for improvement, such as better maintenance of outdoor areas to ensure safety and a call for more consistent, professional care. Despite these concerns, many reviewers express satisfaction with the care their family members receive, particularly in the memory care unit, and appreciate the facility's efforts to create a fun-loving, active culture.

    Overall, while there are areas for improvement, particularly in staffing and certain aspects of care, the facility is well-regarded for its dedicated staff, clean environment, and the quality of care provided to residents.
