The facility has received high marks recently for its admissions process and attentive care, suggesting an improvement in operational management. However, because multiple families have reported missing personal belongings, we strongly recommend labeling all resident items clearly and keeping a detailed inventory list upon admission.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother has Alzheimer’s and was no longer safe to live on her own. This was a difficult decision for me to make, but with the guidance of her doctors, referrals were made. My experience with Damita /Admissions director and Christy/activity coordinator, went far better than I ever could expect it.”
“The Admissions staff has been phenomenal to work with. I felt comfortable with the care plan after meeting with the care staff. Mom says that the food is good, the nurses are very nice.”
“My dad is staying at River Edge Rehabilltation Center. The staff is very scheduled orientated. The facility is well kept along with the great food they serve. They also involve families to interact with the event they have for their residents.”
