Recent reviews for independent living in Altona

Rivercrest Place in Paducah, KY

4.0
I would give Rivercrest Place 4 for overall rating but 5 for all of the subcategories (eg, friendliness, cleanliness, etc). Maintenance is not responsive to requests and they need to be submitted numerous times.. Everything else is great. My MIL is very happy.

4.0
The 4 is because no one is perfect. However, I will say when I saw a problem it was taken care of very quickly. The staff was excellent.
