I am hard pressed to write anything critical about River Garden. On a surface level: the lunches are free, there is no holiday time but you receive 7.08 as a FT employee to compensate. The benefits are fantastic and HR is always there the go over my benefits with me anytime I've ever needed assistance. What makes River Garden great: 100% the workplace culture. Employee retention is their highest priority and its very much reflected in the long tenure of so many employee who have been here 20+ years. Management and my coworkers genuinely ask me how things are going in my position and actively listen

Outstanding facility with exceptional care for my mother. Many may get 'frustrated' with how particular the staff is about key rules and expectations. Frankly, this is what I believe makes River Garden outstanding in what they do. The administration takes great pride in the staff and the care for its residents. Staff is incredibly accommodating to each individual and genuinely cares about each individual resident's health and welfare. Planning care for an elderly parent is in no ways 'easy' for the family. I would strongly urge any caregiver to reach out to River Garden for information and guidance

My father was there for rehab after his stay in the hospital. Everyone on the staff was fantastic! It’s wonderful to see such caring, compassionate, and friendly faces. I highly recommend River Garden Hebrew Home to anyone of any faith. Our family is Christian and Dad had a small Christmas tree in his room during his stay. When it was time to discharge him, the staff had a group conference over the phone with the family so that we could transition him back to his retirement home. Those kinds of details are what sets River Garden above all the rest.

My ailing father landed at RG. I don't recall how or why, but I do remember distinctly their efforts to get rid of him. I use this language consciously. My father's social security and any funds I could provide did not meet the level of income required by RG. OK, I get that, but instead of addressing this issue directly, they dishonestly suggested that my father would be comfortable elsewhere, and attempted to dump him. An ombudsman helped us out. Although the next facility was not nearly as "elegant" as RG, it provided competent care. My father died with dignity, as befitted a WWII veteran. We

Excellent care and facility, well staffed unlike most similar facilities. Take great care of the patients in rehab and nursing home. Does not look "institutional" like some many of these places. Facility is spotless and we'll well maintained.
This is by far, the best rehab and nursing home facility I have seen in Florida, certainly number one in Jacksonville.
