I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I visited a family member who was in rehab at River Glen Health Care Center. I think it was nice, but I thought everything about it was a little tight or maybe overcrowded, one of those things. The upkeep is very nice, though, and the people are very friendly. One of the things I like is this person who I don't think works there, but she came through with a wagon full of dogs, and she wheeled them all around. All the people there just petted these animals and were just so joyful to see that happen. She wasn&ap…

My mother is in River Glen Health Care Center right now. They're very nice and friendly. She's in a two-bedroom with a large window in it, and it's got the bathroom and shower facilities right there. The nurses are going back and forth all day checking on her. She gets fed in her room, but they have a nice dining area. They also have a rehab/gym downstairs. They have all the equipment down there and she does that twice a week. They have bingo twice a week. They have a folk singer who comes in a coupl…

The staff is very caring, have been with River Glen for a long time and consistency is very important with memory impaired patients. My mother had a very bad stroke and is very limited physically and mentally. I feel the staff works well with family, too - but as family (no matter where you are) YOU must be willing to be an advocate!! Not every staff member is great. You need to be sure you check on your loved-one and that everything you think needs to be done is being done. The staff here ALWAYS listens, never pla…
