This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 75% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
River Crossing Rehab and Healthcare Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the admissions team and specific staff members for their kindness and professionalism. However, a significant number of families report severe concerns regarding neglect, hygiene issues, and chronic understaffing that impacts basic patient care and medication administration.

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is filthy and the staff is dangerously incompetent. We were told my mom had to be in a skilled nursing for rehab because she couldn’t walk on her own. Staff refused to help her to the bathroom and lied to me about it.”
“Rena truly is a shining light in the building. She does a great job showing potential residents around and providing great detail of what to expect”
“I have visited the Riverwood crossing center 3 times. I have noticed that they are very short handed with nurse aides. Some of the aides do not keep the patients clean. I found my family member laying in BM.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement.
