River Ridge Retirement Residence

River Ridge Retirement Residence has been a blessing . . . not only for my Mother-in-Law, but for the entire family. My wife and I had visited on several occasions since the facility was built to get a feel for how my wife's parents could adapt to this environment when the time came for them to sell their home. On every occasion we were very impressed with the facility and the caring personnel we encountered. Indeed the faces on the residents themselves told the story of the excellent care they were receiving.With the passing of my Father-in-Law, we made an appointment for my Mother-in-Law to visit. What she experienced on that first visit was overwhelming. However, in large part due to the friendly and considerate demeanor of Renee Kelly, Lifestyle Director, she advised the family that she was ready to make the move.The physical move was co-ordinated by Renee with Leapfrog Moving. The move was effortless on our part. Mom's suite was professionally set up when she was called to enter for the first time, causing Mom to be very emotional. It had the effect of making her feel fully at home in her new residence.Mom has met many new friends, takes part in several activities, and benefits from frequent family visits to this accessible facility. Her attitude is positive whenever we contact her. It is clear that the entire family's stress level has decreased knowing that Mom is in a safe place.The entire family highly recommends River Ridge.

River Ridge 1 has been a great new home for my Dad. He moved in 8 months ago and quickly settled in. He has a nice suite with a beautiful view. The staff has been very helpful and he has made good friends. I am grateful for all the services available to him. The staff has been very diligent in keeping residents safe during the pandemic and maintaining activities as safely as possible. Overall it has been a very positive experience!

My mother in law has lived here the last few. years and it seems to suit her. The residence looks like a high end hotel and the rooms are large enough to have a bedroom living room, mini kitchen, bathroom and large closet space. The main dining room on the ground floor resembles a dining room on a cruise ship, while the dining halls on the individual floors are a bit more intimate. The staff seems to truly care for the residents here. The residence is situated on the Red River and if you are lucky enough to have a room overlooking the river - it's quite. a nice view. The residence is about 20 minutes drive from downtown Winnipeg. Modern and new.

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.

Our mother has been in the River Ridge Retirement Residence for 8 years now and she is very thankful for being there and we , as her children, are very thankful for that. She is happy and often says that she is in the right place. She has a really nice suite, she has good meals, and is surrounded by caring staff. She moved into the enhanced assisted living last year and receives a few extra services. Whenever we have reached out to any of the executive staff for questions or concerns, we have received quick response and resolve. I would like to thank the staff for the measures that they have taken to keep our Mom, and the other residents safe through this time of the coronavirus.

With all things in the world upside down since 2020, River Ridge has been an absolute godsend to our family. While our parent's are still living in Winnipeg, and my brother and I both living in the US, the comfort of knowing there are eyes on them while we cannot visit provides us with peace of mind.Renee and the entire team were amazing to ensure that moving in last July went flawlessly for my parents and are always there to help, whether fussing with table leaf or running up deliveries. Our parents absolutely love their amazing view of the Red River and watching the change of seasons from comfort of their suite or balcony.We get constant communication and status updates on activities to keep everyone's spirits high, and are thrilled that they are getting their 1st CV19 shot tomorrow!Incredibly thankful for everything you do RR1 team !Wendy and Tim

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.

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.

River Ridge 1 in Winnipeg is an amazing place for retirement. The staff are so friendly and so cooperative. Renee was so amazing in providing a detailed tour of the residence. Her friendliness, her knowledge, understanding of the needs of family situations does not go unnoticed. Even the residents are so friendly. You can tell they sure love living there. The home is spacious, clean and so well maintained and organized. Beautiful place to call home. Thank you Renee for all that you do there. You are a great asset to River Ridge 1.

I visited the property last week. The staff were so friendly and polite.The residents had smiles on their faces, they told me they loved living there and couldn't imagine being anywhere else!! It was an absolute pleasure seeing the smiles, listening to their stories, hearing how good the food was and that they were all looking forward to bingo starting up again! This is an incredible place to live out the golden years :)
