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.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We always make it a point to explain the nonrefundable, one-time community fee during the lease signing, which is common in the senior living arena. We would like to connect with you directly to address your concerns appropriately and clear up any confusion, but since your review is anonymous, we can’t reach out. Please call our community directly and ask to speak with our Executive Director. Thank you.

I was able to tour both the assisted living and independent living facilities. I was impressed at the number of activities and personal help in other buildings. It also is admirable that those in independent living could participate in special programs at the other building.

Review for River Ridge Retirement Village
I would recommend it to others but would encourage them to visit a couple of times during busy hours to observe the care of residents.It is clean, friendly and the staff are caring but they are understaffed, so residents don't always receive the care they need at the moment.It was a promising place to put my loved one.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We love hearing that you've found our community to be clean and the team to be caring. In regards to being understaffed, currently we are not, but we have had some delays in care due to staff sickness. We are always open to opportunities for improvement, so we have taken this feedback to the team. If you would like to discuss your experience in depth, please call the community and ask to speak with the Executive Director. Thank you!

Work in Progress
My dad was previously a resident at River Ridge Retirement Village and overall his experience was okay. The staff was mostly new with a few old who remained. I observed the old staff as excellent, friendly and genuinely concerned with knowing my dad. The communication and organization was terrible. The price/cost changed constantly. My dad said that the food was 'just okay.; Dad will eat anything, so it might have been terrible. The overall cleanliness was good. The director is kind and helpful, but I get the feeling that she is not supported by anyone above her. Getting into the building to visit was a constant complaint, often having to wait and call for a long time before getting inside. Hopefully, they are a learning to work together because the disconnect by the original employees and the new employees is obvious.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear about your experience with our community. We understand that communication can be an opportunity for improvement, and we apologize that we weren't able to implement a better system during your dad's stay with us. We took this feedback to the team, and because of the anonymity of your review, we aren't able to distinguish you or your experience. If you can please call the community and ask to speak with the Executive Director, we would be glad to discuss your review more. Thank you!

Excellent Staff and Value
From the day my brother entered River Ridge, he (and I) were treated like family. The staff gave 110% to make sure I was informed and kept up to date on his care.
They also worked to manage his day to day health and well being along with customizing solutions to keep him thriving.
And yes, they aren't perfect, but let me tell you, it isn't often when you see a management team that rolls up their sleeves to do what is in the best interest of the patient and family.
I have found everyone there to be positive and always open to ideas to improve the partnership between family and staff.
I would highly recommend River Ridge to anyone seeking care for a loved one.

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:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Michigan regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored River Ridge Retirement Village 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
