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.

After a difficult transition out of her home, my grandma moved into a suite at River Ridge. The staff has been incredibly welcoming, and it is such a relief to know she is well taken care of. The social supports and activities help her settle into her new space, and the staff always ensure that she gets the support she needs and that her days are fulfilling. The lifestyle director Lori was especially helpful in this transition. Navigating having a grandparent who has cognitively declined quickly has been far from easy, but this place is the best option we could find to support in this stage of life. I highly recommend River Ridge I if you're looking for a supportive environment for a loved one.
My Mom and Dad moved in last August to River Ridge 1. It was a tough move for them coming from another province and my father passing away shortly after the move but the staff at River Ridge 1 were fantastic! They were very welcoming and did everything they could to make the move in as easy as possible. The support my mother received was personal and caring. The staff get to know all the residence by name and the family can relax knowing their loved ones are well looked after. The facilities as very nice, clean and spacious. There are lots of great spaces for the residence to gather and many activities to get involved in as they choose. Feeding a large number of people with 100% satisfaction is challenging, but here, they work hard to please everyone with offering several options. During the pandemic, the staff worked very hard to keep all residence safe and had a great deal of success. If you are looking for a great place to live for the next chapter of your life, or a loved one, your first stop needs to be River Ridge 1.
I recently visited River Ridge Retirement Residence, and unfortunately, I was highly disappointed with my experience. The facility appeared unkempt and poorly maintained upon arrival. The staff seemed disorganized and lacked professionalism in their interactions with residents. Moreover, the amenities promised on their website were nowhere to be found or were in poor condition. The overall atmosphere felt dreary and lacking in vibrancy. Additionally, the dining experience left much to be desired, with subpar quality food and limited options. Overall, my visit to River Ridge Retirement Residence was underwhelming, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable retirement living experience.
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.
