Problem with billing and initial health reporting rrquirements

Problem with billing and initial health reporting requirements; getting into your billing system was a nightmare and the financial officer is a waste, unhelpful and unresponsive. There needs to be better coordination between those in charge of the facility and greater individual accountability.

River Ridge at Avon review

I feel the communication is not good both among the staff, as well as to the adult children. I'm kind of unique in that I'm a gerontologist as well as senior living designer so I am more aware of things than the average person, and question more. But I've been a little frustrated on how they handled certain situations with my dad without communicating with me first.

Overall a Nice Community

Very impressed with the cleanliness. I just checked with my sister and her number one thing that has made it a great experience is that "the staff is kind". I can't put my finger on it but it's just the overall experience. The minute you walk-in everyone at the front desk is nice. It's clean. There's always something going on (activities, music, etc). They post often on Facebook. I see my dad in several pictures. the harbor wing where my dad is - That's the dementia area - always clean. Staff is always nice. They're on top of things. I would like to add this - we went through the initial process and it would've saved us a lot of time if they had just said upfront that an incoming resident needs about $1 million. It was a great place and we wish we could've afforded to have him go there, but I felt like we wasted time not knowing that the minimum requirement was $1 million.

Our family cannot comment on activities because our loved one did not participate in them, but based on the experience we have had so far we would recommend the River Ridge at Avon community to other families.

Life at River Ridge at Avon

It's an aging population. Sometimes it seems more like rehab or nursing faclity. They have been getting new residents. The people are really great. The staff is very helpful and accomodating.

My Tour Experience at River Ridge at Avon

I didn't feel it had the right set up for my loved one. They did have aides for overnight care and a nurse on call.
