Key Review Excerpts
“The rehab staff went above and beyond and we are so grateful for them. I would highly recommend Riverwood for Rehabilitation!”
“My father's stay at this facility for PT/OT was a nightmare. Despite his severe knee pain and swelling, which rendered him unable to undergo therapy, his condition was left untreated. This neglect led to the development of bedsores and a large rash covering most of his back.”
“I would like to thank the staff at Riverside for caring for my mom all staff is working hard every time I go in and also I would like to compliment them on how clean and no smells there facility is”
