Review for AVIVA River Bend

All staff that I are friendly and helpful. Place is clean and has a good vibe. Lots of stuff to do during the month. Nice location with views of a river and walking paths that can be used. Also close to Silver Lake with more paths to walk on.

I am/was a resident of this facility

It is a great place to live..We have only been here is few months and are very comfortable.. So far it has been a positive move, I needed more help with my husband and are thankful for the wonderful staff.. Food is very good as the service. We have wonderful scenery to enjoy and the geese are entertaining.
