The Rivers- great choice for us!

My mother moved in late May 2024. She is fully transitioned from her house of 45 years to THE RIVERS. The staff, the grounds, the food, maintenance people are all wonderful. The only hiccup was (is) Century Link for a land line. After numerous calls and missed appointments, she has decided to stay with her cell phone.

Exceptional management, large apartments, great residents

[name removed] His an exceptional manager who makes living at Waterford a wonderful experience. She adds such warmth and fun to the experience of living there. She makes every resident feel supported and acts on resolve problems quickly. She is so talented at her job & makes our lives so much better. Carrie from marketing is also very skilled and Works hard to make water for the right place for applicants. The apartments are very large with great torage. The screened in patio makes living with Minnesota bugs and enjoying constant fresh air possible. While the building is showing its age, and the kitchens are basic, I would encourage anyone to consider living there. The prices are the best in the metro area , a great value.

Beautiful well-run facility

The experience is great, my mom loves her new home. The facility is very clean. The staff and residents are very friendly and have welcomed my mom with open arms. Although my mom is independent and does not require extra care, the MD and NP have responded quickly with any concerns I've had. She is very happy with the food. My mom enjoyed an outing they had to a museum, and enjoys chapel. Most of the daily activities (bingo and other games) do not interest her. The cost seems to be about the same as other places I toured. I think the Rivers is a wonderful facility, very well run. The staff are friendly and helpful. The apartments are larger than most places and are very nice. The grounds are beautiful! We take walks outside regularly.

Great director, services and community

My mother has made Evergreen Court her home for the last 8 years. She has made tremendous friendships here, participated in the resident store, and enjoys the social community. I know her neighbors well and they alert me to issues and keep an eye on her as she is one of the older residents here and her abilities are declining. The Director is tremendous -- creating a caring environment, and he is effective and pragmatic in addressing challenges in staffing.

Excellent support and communication with [name removed] . Not only did she provide swift and accurate information on suitable addresses for my brother to visit, but we also found the most affordable and convenient location in downtown Bellevue. [name removed] is most happy living in his new one bedroom apt. With more room to do his crafts and play his music, his new address is the best one he has lived in because of the affordability and the best staff. He says people are kind to him, and the director even displayed his unique bird houses in a dining room curio cabinet. Many thanks,

Good price, good company

My father is currently a resident at Waterford Estates and Manor. The apartment is not fancy or really updated, but it's clean and decent enough that you feel comfortable with your parents moving there. The price is really the catch. With rent now so high, finding a reasonable place that your parents can afford is a plus. This place also offers an opportunity for socializing with a lounge, available coffee and TV that older adults can sit around and enjoy each other's company. I would recommend Waterford Estates and Manor to others.
