The reviews for River Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care in Rochester, Michigan, present a mixed picture. Some reviews highlight positive experiences, praising the facility for its caring staff, vibrant community, and welcoming environment. Many staff members express satisfaction with their roles, noting the supportive management and the sense of family among colleagues and residents. Residents and their families appreciate the variety of activities, the quality of care, and the facility's homelike atmosphere. Specific staff members are commended for their professionalism and dedication. However, there are significant concerns raised by other reviewers. Some families report serious safety issues, including inadequate supervision leading to accidents and neglect. The transition to private equity ownership in March 2024 is mentioned as a turning point, with claims of management being uncaring and compromising resident safety. Staffing shortages and high turnover rates are noted, affecting the quality of care and response times for residents needing assistance. There are also complaints about the facility's outdated infrastructure and the pricing structure, which some find too expensive due to additional fees. Overall, while River Oaks receives praise for its community feel and some dedicated staff, there are critical concerns about management practices, safety, and staffing that potential residents and their families should consider.
