River Valley--excellent in every way

River Valley is a great place for people to come, live, and enjoy. The people are very friendly, and I was made to feel welcome the first day I arrived. I have been at River Valley a year now. I have made a lot of new friends and this has been easy to do. There is a lot to choose from in terms of things to do--from Bingo and Scrabble and other games, to movies, trips to local stores and nearby entertainment, and programs where entertainment and interesting lectures come to River Valley as well. The rooms are quite spacious, compared to other retirement complexes I visited. And the food is good as well. I couldn't be happier, frankly.

The best Senior Living Facility in the country 203/727-6906Ffld County

Our visit with [name removed]was a great one. She answered all of our questions. She gave us a tour of the facility and all of the amenities. We were very pleased. Riverview had everything that we were looking for along with the very friendly and accommodating staff.

Great place with better security needed

Staff is extremely nice and helpful. My only issue is security. There must be cameras around, but many, many times when we enter the front there is no one at the front desk. Anybody could waltz in. I have been to other places where there is a bit more scrutiny at the entrance.

I love it here

I love it here at River Valley! When my husband died in [date removed], I didn't know what I wanted to do. I discussed it with my daughter and son-in-law and I said I wanna find a place that's fun and things to do and I called around and I found this place we did check out other places, but this place was the best for the money Three meals a day plus snacks plus ice cream. It looks like a ship you feel like you're on vacation all day long time flies. I love it here. Concierge is very helpful, managers go out of their way to please, cats and dogs welcome on first floor for dogs, cats can go on second and third. I have a scooter and a lot of residents have walkers, all are welcome!

highly recommend this friendly place

I love this place and the staff are very helpful. The nicest thing at River Valley is the friendly residents and staff members. Within a few weeks/months I felt like I was in the middle of family. And I feel that today. I know almost everyone by name -- and something about their life situation to ask questions about. I also like the fact I don't have to cook or clean up the dishes. I don't rate the food so high, but I think that's because Covid changed my sense of taste. There are many good activities you can join throughout the day. The rooms are quiet. The staff addresses your questions/needs

Exceeded all expectations

ALL 5's!!!!!! I'm not kidding. It is seriously I would give them all tens. I cannot speak more highly of River valley. I never worry about my parents and that is a blessing. They are taking care of. They wear something around their neck that God forbid they fall they push a button and they're there within minutes. It's just amazing. The staff really care about the people that live there and everything else you listed, literally five and up.... Definitely a place that people should see for sure hundred percent the facility itself is truly amazing. Everything's amazing. And out of all the ones we looked at it was believe it or not the most reasonable to. Everything is included electricity, phone cable. Everything's included all meals three meals a day. My parents LOVE it and could not imagine living anywhere eles.. I go at least twice a week or more they welcome families unlike a bunch of others we looked at and it is soooo clean and staff is so nice as are the residents. Most know. My name just from visiting my parents. I feel like I've gained some extra parents they are so sweet... Totally recommend it to anyone!

Extremely friendly

From start to finish the experience was very rewarding. They were very helpful and I was very impressed by how well they handled each aspect of the process. The way they handled the process was very simple and very straightforward.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at River Valley Retirement Community and the facility was great. Everything about it was great. However, it wasn't the right fit for my loved one. It wasn't the facility at all, it was my loved one.

River Valley has been a pleasant surprise and thankful for making this my choice for mom

Overall experience - my mom has been there one month so speaking for her Cleanliness of the facility - extremely clean and they clean rooms once/week - the place looks very clean and smells clean, never a mess Friendliness - everyone makes sure to introduce themselves and talk to you when you are there Quality of care - they make a point to watch out for everyone, very responsive to needs if you call down to fix something, and always checking to make sure OK Food - could be better but they are always trying to improve, have a lot of options for the people there, salad bar, food available outside normal dining hours Activities - activities every day plus they have a full cinema and show movies every night and sometimes matinees, they had new years party with dancing, just had casino night - plenty to keep mom occupied Value for the money - all expenses including cable/phone/internet - no nickel and dime expenses, actually monthly rate is competitive if not cheaper than other facilities and the building is brand new My experience when researching places for mom started with [name removed] and [name removed] who were very approachable, extremely nice, accommodating, friendly, caring, gracious and attentive - all the things I needed to get me comfortable that I was making the right decision for mom (who is 92 and had to move from FL).

All in all, I really like River Valley. It is a great place to live.

The people and staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful. They try to foster unity and caring. The activities are great. The fish is always great. Sometimes the chicken is overcooked and dry. My husband likes it though. I am probably a picky eater. All in all, I really like River Valley. It is a great place to live.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour with River Valley and we liked it very much but we wanted the option for assisted living or memory care as well down the road. It just didn't have all of the future services we thought we might of needed.

A Great Living Experience

It's a lovely place with caring staff. It's clean, well maintained. Good gym facilities. Welcome guests and visitors. Caring, friendly and helpful staff that enjoy what they do and go out of their way to be helpful. It's well worth-while, and the best value. It is a happy place- people are walking around happy- not mopey or dull.

Best place for your parents

My parents are so happy here. My sisters and I do not have to worry about them one bit. They are more active than they have ever been. They have stuff going on all the time and we love that they encourage the families to come and participate. [name removed] in the greetings department is beyond sweet. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and everyone wears name tags so people call you by name. I would highly recommend River Valley Retirement to others looking and already have. We looked at about 15 other places and this is the only place we would ever put our parents in, especially for the value. I can really go on and on about them

wonderful experience

I visited several similar residences and was most impressed with River Valley as the person who provided me with the tour was very enthusiastic and caring. She knew all the residents by their name. This was unique compared to the other facilites I visited. The place was very clean.

Super Community

I had a tour at River Valley and I was greeted by [name removed], the concierge, that really impressed me! My tour was with [name removed]. She was incredible, thorough, honest and funny! I met several of the residents that I immediately took a liking to. The place was immaculate. I loved how new it was. I had the opportunity to eat brunch there and had prime rib along with eggs made to order. The options were endless. Gourmet is the word! The service was wonderful, too. After Brunch, [name removed] came back to us and we started our tour. I loved that they had a bank, gym, salon, arcade room, and a general store. We went to a 2 bedroom apartment on the first floor. I have a dog and they allow them on that floor. It was absolutely perfect! The walk out patio is easy access for my dog. Full kitchen, full capacity washer and dryer, all appliances are GE and new, closets are large and it includes everything in the rent! It is also month to month. Highly recommend. I signed last week. Can’t wait to move !
