I visited this facility

The Esther At Riverbend Assisted Living is a beautiful facility. It's immaculate. I was extremely impressed with the facility. It's only two years old, I believe. It's fresh. The staff was more than welcoming. The rooms that are available are about 700 square feet. They have a nice little kitchen area, a nice-sized refrigerator, and three closets. One closet is when you go to the front door, and then there are two closets in the bedroom. There is a huge bathroom that's right off the bedroom, so …

Our family's experience

Food options are very good, and she really likes the staff. She seems to be getting plenty of attention and care. There are lots of options for activities, but I'm still trying to get her to take advantage of them.

Our Experience

Make sure you get to know the staff. They are friendly and do care about providing the best for your family member. They also can help if your family member is having a hard time adjusting to their new home.

Review for The Esther at Riverbend

My client required a higher level of care upon moving into this facility than what they were equipped to provide, but being newly opened and eager to fill their rooms they accepted her as a resident regardless. Unfortunately, the promised services fell short. For instance, housekeeping and laundry, which were advertised as weekly services, were inconsistently delivered.

There really is now place like Home. But The Esther is as good as it gets.

When Dad got COVID 4 days prior turning 100 yrs. old he lost the strength in his legs and after rehab we felt he needed some way to keep a quality of living that we couldn't give him at home. He wasn't thrilled at first and is somewhat set in his ways (you can imagine). But the staff and "famaily" at the Esther have treated him like a king. They have taken care of his ongoing medical needs, social desires, and our requests for him. The folks at the Esther are upbeat and helpful anytime we arrive to visit and they…
