River Ridge II Retirement Residence - Winnipeg

Our family felt it was time to find a nurturing and caring environment that would support the needs of our mother. We found the perfect location! River ridge II presents a safe and comfortable environment that meets our mother’s growing needs and high expectations. The staff is absolutely amazing! Moreover, River Ridge II provides the peace of mind for all of us that are not physically close in proximity to our mother. The bottom line: She is happy! Thank you!

After a lengthy hospital stay it was evident prior to discharge that my dad required some extra care, his dementia was progressing so we needed to find a secure, comfortable place for him to live. My family toured River Ridge II – Boulevard North and were very pleased after speaking with Chassity and nurse Cydney that the Blvd North was able to accommodate my dads needs. All of the staff on the 2nd floor Blvd North are so caring and compassionate, and dad is getting the care he needs. Throughout COVID 19 all of the staff at River Ridge II have been so supportive and caring. It is a difficult time for families when we are not able to see our loved ones, however the staff have been and continue to be our extended family: our eyes and ears, communicating with us and being there for dad and for us whenever we need them. We can rest assured knowing that dad is being well looked after by our River Ridge II family when we cannot be there. Thank you to Lori and all of her staff at RR, for the care you provide it has been top notch! If you are looking for a safe, comfortable place for your loved ones I recommend contacting Chassity at River Ridge II and booking a tour. You will not be disappointed.

We love River Ridge II! We have family in the building and they love living there. They are always telling us about all the fun they have, great staff, and great food! Thank you River Ridge II for all you do. It puts my mind at ease having my family in such a great place, especially considering everything that is going on with CoVid-19. I have felt so safe having my family there during this time. I recommend this Retirement Residence to everyone!

RR2 is an amazing place. My experience with my mother being there is nothing short of amazing. This place is filled with angels at every level. We brought my Mom from another province to this place about two years ago. The front staff were amazing in putting us to ease about her care. The proof came in the following years. With her failing health, they helped us transition her from one area to another area of RR2. Best move we ever made. Thanks RR2 for being the angels surrounding her as she lives out her final years.

There are so many wonderful things I could say about River Ridge II but I will start with a short one for those who like to get straight to the point and another for those who want more detail. In short, run, don't walk to RR II for a tour for your loved one(s). I guarantee that Chassity and her team will welcome you with warm, open arms and it will be the best decision you will make!! Having someone care and watch over mom in addition to her own family is the best gift we could have been given!!! Longer...I toured RR II without my folks a few times and honestly couldn't have been more impressed from the moment I walked in the door. Is it beautiful, YES, of course, but that wasn't what impressed me, it was all the smiles on the residents and staff. The happiness you see is because the residents feel cherished and special because RR II staff ensures that they are!! Mom is the happiest and healthiest I have seen her in years!! Before she moved to RR II she was surviving, barely, now...she is absolutely THRIVING!!! To see her laughing and smiling everyday is a gift in itself! She went to RR II without knowing a soul and now has friends and is enjoying life like she deserves to enjoy it. Staff- outstanding!! Food-outstanding!! Accommodations-outstanding!! Entertainment-outstanding!! Care taking/cleaning-outstanding!! Give Chassity a call and book a tour now, you won't regret it, I promise you!!

This past summer (2021) I researched many Assisted Living facilities in Winnipeg for my elderly parents. From the initial contact via phone in Ontario to visiting River Ridge II in person three times, my interactions with Chassity McIntyre were simply excellent. She went above and beyond my expectations. Her knowledge, honesty, compassion and energy helped me navigate a daunting task. Even though my parents opted for another facility in their neighbourhood, River Ridge II was a real contender due in large part to Chassity's efforts. I can confidently recommend River Ridge II to any family / friends thinking about this life transition. Thanks Chassity!

I checked River Ridge two out online while trying to find a new place for my Mom to move. She was slowing down in her apartment and we were starting to be concerned about her meals. I wasn’t sure if they could help me with my mom and all her needs so I emailed to have someone to reach out with info. I was called back by Chassity the marketer for the building within the hour! She even called me on her day off. We talked until I understood all that they had to offer. Chassity was fun and helped me to relax while we spoke. We have moved Mom in now and she loves it Says she wishes we had done this a year ago. I am so happy with the care and professionalism shown by everyone at River Ridge 2. If you are looking for a place to move someone you love call Chassity and get her to help you. You won’t be sorry.

Our family did our research and on paper RR2 checked all the boxes for what everyone would want for their loved ones. Moving in the December pre-holiday period, during a Covid-19 epidemic could not have made their job any easier to surpass my high expectations. Chassity and her team stepped up and passed the test by helping us out with every detail. Their experienced team acts more like family when it comes to helping out my mother with a few special needs due to medical restrictions. The front desk staff are so good at keeping an eye out for everyone, making sure no one ever misses a meal by losing track of time. All the staff in the Dining Room greet each guest and treat everyone with respect. The maintenance team are always friendly and go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of residents needs and even lent me a tool on move in day. We celebrate on mom’s cleaning day when the ladies come in with their warm greetings. Even though everyone is forced to wear masks, you can actually still see the cheek muscles raising from the smile on their faces. I suggest anyone that goes for a tour make sure you say “Hello” to a few of the residents to see how pleasant and happy they are, which I think may be a reflection on the facility. Don’t be afraid to ask Chassity those tough to approach questions. The RR2 works very closely with the W.R.H.A. and Chassity could provide some good guidance as to where the boundaries are between the two groups when you may not be clear on who to contact for any services.
