Amazing Community

River Ridge provided exceptional care for my family member for nearly five years. We experienced the assisted living community and, in the later years, the memory care unit. The leadership team (executive director, wellness coordinator, activities director, and facilities manager) communicated consistently and always stayed ahead of his needs. They coordinated with his medical provider, kept us updated, and made sure he felt supported and engaged. The facility is spotless, well-managed, and full of staff who genuinely care. The activities coordinator checks in personally if a resident misses an activity, and the nurses and techs are compassionate, well-trained, and long-tenured. Very little staff turnover means residents are surrounded by familiar faces who know them well. River Ridge feels more like a family than a facility, and our loved one thrived there. We are deeply grateful for the entire team.

Amazing staff and care

With almost six months of care for my father who suffers from some dementia, hearing loss, occasional depression and wheelchair bound, I can truly say the staff has been patient, caring and enthusiastic with him and made him smile. He loves it here!!

My grandma stays in a nursing home that has turned out to be a truly comforting and supportive place for her, which gives our whole family peace of mind. From the moment you enter, it feels welcoming rather than clinical, with warm lighting, inviting spaces, and friendly staff who greet everyone with kindness. Her room is always clean and nicely kept, and there are little personal touches that make it feel like her own space. What really makes the nursing home special is the level of care and attention the residents receive. The staff are patient, compassionate, and genuinely interested in getting to know each person, including my grandma’s stories, preferences, and routines. She often talks about how much she enjoys the daily activities, whether it’s group games, music sessions, or simply chatting with others in the common areas. There’s a strong sense of community that helps residents feel less alone and more connected. It’s reassuring to know she is not only safe and well cared for.

Good- Staff is pleasant. Facility is clean. Meals served on time. Grounds are well kept. Faculty is on board. Meds are dispensed in a timely fashion. When unable to keep our loved ones at home and care for them, this is definitely the best option.

Awesome community, lovely staff

My grandparents live here and it’s awesome to know they are covered and the meals provided are great and staff is so friendly. Everytime I visit the sales staff makes sure my questions are always answered, provides solutions to any questions I have and then the direct care workers are helpful to my grandparents to make sure they get everything they need

A nice community with room for improvements

The biggest negative I have is they were supposed to take the monthly cost out on the first of each month, and they never did. For elderly folks on a fixed budget this was unacceptable, we tried reaching out several times and the executive director, never returned our calls. When we toured the facility we were given one cost, and when we signed the contracts the cost had jumped [fee removed]. I asked for a copy of the assessment for level of care for my father and never received it. My dad enjoyed his time there. From a patient care perspective I would recommend it. From a cost and financial perspective I wouldn't

River Ridge Review

The director was the only positive, but she was busy in her office. The price changed within 2 days from my telephone conversation and signed documents until arrival two days later. It was their mistake. A previous employee quoted me an amount, I signed, then they tried to say he was wrong. Long story. Director corrected it, but billing could not get it right for 2 months. We ended up leaving. Gave notice within 30 days and never got deposit back as was stated we would in contract. The director was new, the staff was new, the office/billing were old. No communication between the two. Very frustrating to deal with.

A great place for memory care

We were looking for a place for my aunt with dementia. I wanted a place where I could visit her as often as I’d like and she would be Safe, cared for and comfortable, A place for Mom helped me tremendously to find this place. We’re very happy and so is she!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Michigan’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
