Riverside Place Senior Living Community

Riverside Place Senior Citizen is magnificent. It's right next to a river, and there's a trail that you can use, so that's the outside and it's wonderful. And then the inside is always clean and nice. I can't say enough good things. The staff are very busy. They have their jobs. I've used the maintenance man a couple of times, and he's very efficient. Everybody does what they're supposed to do. In terms of activities, right now, they're announcing that there's a big band set at 5:00. There are way too many different activities. Today they had two afternoon activities. There's more but I don't do like the pool, shuffleboard, cornhole, or bocce. But I do exercise on Tuesday and Thursday. It's a gentle exercise where you sit in chairs and it's fun. It's a great place for a bunch of old ladies that sit and do all the exercises. There are too many exercises to do actually. I'm only in my apartment a few hours a day, otherwise, there's something to do. Food would be the one drawback. They're cafeteria food when you were in college. They cater to your table, and it's called gourmet dining, but I don't know about how gourmet it is. They have white tablecloths on tables, and it is fancy, but the food is mass-produced. It's not your mom's home cooking. It was hard for me at first to get used to that. And then people that have been here longer say, 'You get what you get and don't throw a fit,' and so okay, that's what I'll do. It's not the cheapest one that we checked into, but it's about the right price. It's the market price for what my rent would be.

Riverside Place was nice, and my dad was pleased with it. It's an independent living, and they have their own apartments. We will be choosing this place because we like the location. The staff we had an interaction with were very kind and helpful. My father was impressed with how nice and clean the facility was. The staff was very friendly. He was happy that they offer a type of card game that he likes to play. They have a variety of activities, and one was his favorite. The neighborhood is very nice, and he would have access to various activities in the downtown neighborhood. The facility itself is very nice. The residents were very friendly. They spoke to my father and that made him feel welcome.
