I am a resident here at Riverside.. I've been here only a few months, but so far I've had a good experience... I've had several strokes, and only have Medicaid. My options are limited. The central air conditioner was broken when I got here, but, my room had a window unit. ( Much appreciated when the temps reached 100° plus) Okay, if you're expecting a " bougie" place in Trenton, well this isn't it, BUT!!... This is a BIG facility! and I really feel like management is on top of things!! As of this posting, the central air is fixed!!.. yea!! Listen, folks my 90 year old mother has primero insurance.. plus, benefits from her deceased husband from the military...and SHE has had many difficulties even with her full ride insurance.!.. Riverside, does a fine job. I would tell you that if a loved one needs to be here, you can be sure that they will be taken care of.. $$$, doesn't mean you get the Ritz-Carlton.. Yes.. Riverside has it's " challenges, if you will, but feel assured..the staff, and professionals here will take care of you or your family member.

Has no central air portable air conditioners is extremely hot no one answers the phone my mom is there and every time I call no one answers the phone at nursing station this place is horrible
This is really good nursing home for rehab. It has pulmonary program. I have been going to this place recently from few months and it has been tremendously improved from before. The most clean place. Under new administration and most involved in patients care and needs.
I’ve been working with the team at Riverside for the past 4 years. They have some of the best care staff and clinicians around with a phenomenal leadership team. Michael the administrator and Gretchen the director of nursing are both wonderful and compassionate people, along with their amazing team in place. Highly recommend!
My husband and I are enjoying our time at Riverside Nursing home we feel that our needs are getting met and our health is definitely getting better. We are already independent people but here at Riverside they are making sure that when we leave we will be more independent and not be afraid to do what we can on our own. We go to Physical therapy everyday and it's worth it. The Professional trainers here work us very hard. At first we didn't like it but we realized that at the end of the day it would be worth it. Now when we go to Physical therapy we work hard and we like it cause we know it's only to make us better. Thanks to Ty we enjoy going to therapy everyday❤️ - HOAGLANDS
