This is a small facility and has that hometown feel where the employees actually know the clients. It is clean and I’ve never noticed any unpleasant odors like I have with other facilities. The staff is always welcoming and friendly no matter what time I have shown up.

I would give Rivercrest Place 4 for overall rating but 5 for all of the subcategories (eg, friendliness, cleanliness, etc). Maintenance is not responsive to requests and they need to be submitted numerous times.. Everything else is great. My MIL is very happy.
