What this means for your family

River Ridge is highly regarded for its beautiful campus and dedicated memory care team, making it a strong contender for those needs. However, families should be aware of recent reports regarding inconsistent dining quality and should ask for a tour of the dining facilities to see if they meet your expectations.

Key Review Excerpts

We made the tough decision to place mom in a memory care facility. After reviewing several facilities we settled on River Ridge. We could not be more happier. They are very caring people and keep constant contact with us about her condition.

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

Used to be a nice place. Unfortunately not anymore. My dad lived there for 3 years but the past 6 months were awful. He is now in a different facility in South Haven is is getting the care he deserves.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

Ron their Life Enrichment leader is so caring and authentic with the residents. You can see his years of experience shine as he interacts with the residents and creates really fun things for the residents to do.
