  Home away from home Our Mom lived in the same single family residence in River Heights for 55 years and never wanted to leave. But after 3 weeks at River Ridge I, at the age of 93, she loved it and didn't want to leave. The staff was fantastic and made her feel completely at home, and she loved the entertainment and the other residents - where there was a very strong sense of community. The other residents were delightful and staff went well above and beyond on a daily basis. We were overjoyed at how well she was treated and how quickly she settled in. She never had a bad word to say about anything and loved living there. And while our Mom was the most positive person that we've ever known, we sincerely knew how much she felt like River Ridge was in fact her home, and that she never wanted to leave. We will be forever grateful for the outstanding support and guidance that the Executive Director, Shannon Chartrand, provided to our entire family (as we attempted to navigate new unfamiliar pathways both with and for our Mom), and for the standards set under her leadership, for the compassionate and loving care that was so evident throughout the entire staff at River Ridge I. Sincerely, Kim & Judy (Evelyn's daughters)

  My parents moved in to River Ridge 1 in Feb 2023. It was an adjustment of course, but it has been quite positive. Lots of programs to choose from. Outings as well. A driver for appointments and errands. It’s very social and I believe this to be a huge asset to anyone, especially as we age. The staff members are very caring and willing to listen to all concerns and ideas. It has given our family tremendous peace of mind to know they are and will be well taken care of.

  Having recently helped relocate my parents to River Ridge 1 from several provinces away, I wanted to comment on the amazing atmosphere we immediately felt in this place. From the moment we got there, my parents felt like they belonged, and this was not only due to the beautiful suite and amazing facilities (not to mention the awesome view!) but especially because Renee, as well as the other staff and residents were so incredibly warm, welcoming and thoughtful. My parents have been there less than a week and they are already involved in the active yet laidback lifestyle that is a big part of this amazing place - art classes, dancing, cards, the awesome theatre, walking paths along the Red River, and lots of great food choices and socializing! I am very grateful they found River Ridge 1 and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a real sense of home and security.
