The real truth

They were terrible from day 1. I told them what I needed before getting there and they didn't get it. The more i told them the more they ignored me to the point that i ended up in the hospital. In my file it stated that my mother be called if i did go in the hospital, they failed to call her. The CNA "claimed" she didn't understand what i meant. The so-called caring staff is just a front. They care long enough to see you cave then they treat you like crap thinking you dont know any better. Well that might have work…

Great place!

Some of the things included with the monthly rent are 3 meals a day, all utilities, cable TV, use of a washer and dryer, h…

A poor assisted living experience.

We moved my mother into River View Assisted Living around August 1, 2013. She had come from an independent living senior apartment. At the time we thought the additional oversight plus meals would be perfect for her. As it turned out, all the forced walking and shoddy wheelchair assistance, was far worse for her. Examples would be not setting the wheelchair break, abandoning her and leaving her to fend for herself. This resulted in multiple falls. Forcing her to take long walks down the halls to get to her destinat…

This place was really nice. They had a pool, but they do not fill it anymore because none of the residents used it. Cute apartments.It is too far from VA in Milwaukee.
