I am so happy to be living here and being able to enjoy all that the facility has to offer.
The staff are very kind, considerate, and full of compassion and are quick to attend to our needs.
So many activities are provided to keep us busy and occupied, crafts, card games, movies, outings and visits to restaurants and stores.
The Wellness Center keeps us in good shape as we are able to use the many machines and the therapy pool is used daily. Line dancing, pickle ball, Tai Chi as well as Silver Sneaker exercises are provided for our enjoyment.
Meal times are a pleasure and there is a large menu of items to choose from. Food is always deliciously prepared and well presented.
The facility being close to the Mississippi River gives one the opportunity to walk along the trail and enjoy being in the fresh air
and the peace and tranquilly of the river.
I could not wish for a better place to spend my senior years.

I moved my aunt and uncle from Blaine into Riverview Landing recently and wanted to share the positive experience I had with the whole admission process and our move in. Stacy Mohs, the Housing Specialist, made the admission process efficient and painless. She did such an excellent job on the tour and made my aunt and uncle feel excited to come (which was not easy)! Everyone was so accommodating and helpful as we moved in their furniture and setup their apartment.
When I brought them to move in, Cassondra at the front desk was welcoming and explained everything to us so they felt comfortable and less anxious about leaving their home. Cassondra even checks on them in the dining room to make sure my uncle has his oxygen and is able to plug into an outlet if needed.
I can't say enough about how friendly and considerate all the staff has been. This was a big change as my aunt and uncle lived in one home for 61 years. Nursing, housekeeping, kitchen, beauty salon -- everyone has been so pleasant and made this a very positive experience during a difficult time with the pressures of the pandemic and staffing shortages.
