The reviews for River Oaks and Sunrise of Rochester present a mixed picture of both facilities. River Oaks has undergone significant changes since new management took over in March 2024, leading to a decline in care quality according to some reviewers. Concerns include the absence of an on-site RN, understaffing, and safety issues, prompting some families to move their loved ones elsewhere. However, there are positive remarks about the activities director and some staff members who are described as compassionate and dedicated. Sunrise of Rochester receives generally positive feedback, with many praising the caring and professional staff, the clean and well-maintained facility, and the variety of activities offered. Some reviewers highlight the compassionate care provided to their loved ones, especially in memory care. However, there are criticisms regarding medication management, staff turnover, and response times for assistance. The facility's pricing structure and the memory care unit's location on the fourth floor are also points of concern for some families. Despite these issues, many families express satisfaction with the care provided and the facility's welcoming environment, with some noting strong connections between staff and residents. Overall, both facilities have areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, with individual experiences varying widely.
