River's Edge Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits overlooking the river, giving residents a quiet spot with green outdoor patios where people can relax and talk, and you'll find the rooms here are spacious, well-appointed, and offer modern comforts, while common areas feel cozy and home-like with things like cable TV, internet access, and a computer room for easy use. The center offers both short-term and long-term care with 40 certified beds and an average of 117 residents each day, giving people options whether they need a quick recovery, specialized memory care, or more support over time, and they have specialized areas in the building set up so different needs are met, including memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and sub-acute rehab for those recovering from illness or surgery. Nurse staffing is solid but a bit below state averages at 3.53 nurse hours per resident per day, but the nurse turnover is lower than average at 40%, and staff-including 24-hour nurses, part-time support, and expert care partners-work on continuous training to keep up with the best ways to care for residents. There's a strong focus on activities like arts and crafts, movie nights, group outings, and table games, and the on-site fitness center offers classes for all mobility levels to keep everyone moving, plus there are wellness programs, gardening, and guest services like meal options and visitor parking for families coming through. Religious services, help for veterans, salon services, pets, all-inclusive rent, and hospice or psychiatric care are part of the mix, which means residents can expect their daily needs handled with some attention to personal comfort and dignity. River's Edge uses individual care plans to help residents keep some independence, and care partners act as advocates to make sure people get what fits best, whether it's rehab after surgery, medication reminders, memory therapy, or personal cooking services. The dining experiences are meant to be social and comfortable, with communal dining rooms, room service options, and guest meals allowed. There have been deficiencies found in areas like life quality, nutritional support, food handling, and infection control, with some noted that residents didn't always get enough food or fluid, and waste disposal practices weren't always right, though no serious harm's been recorded, and most issues affect only a few people. The facility reports 42 total deficiencies and one infection-related violation, which lines up with federal inspections, and those details matter for families looking into health standards. River's Edge holds an accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and is a for-profit facility owned mostly by Abraham Kraus. The staff works with specialized therapies and modern rehab tools, and memory care programs include tailored activities to help with cognitive and emotional health. Residents get home-like comfort with upscale touches, planned social events, guest options, and a steady focus on keeping health and happiness at the front, while staff work hard to match care to each person's physical or emotional needs, offering support for independence and dignity along the way.

Helpful therapists, concerning safety lapses
I had an overall positive rehab experience - PT/OT were excellent and helped me get stronger, and many staff were kind, professional and welcoming (Laura, Alicia, Nicole, Kristen and Gracie stood out). That said, care was inconsistent: I witnessed missed meds, delayed or unresponsive nursing, soiled briefs, bedsores, and at least one fall/safety lapse. Meals and some cleanliness were poor at times, and management/communication often failed to correct problems. I'm grateful for the caring therapists and aides, but serious safety and staffing issues mean you should visit and monitor closely.
