River’s Bend Health Services

Our story

River’s Bend Health Services is a skilled nursing facility tucked away near the Manitowoc River. Our vision and people-first culture has not changed since we opened in 1997. Our approach to reaching ideal outcomes for our residents may be modified based on a range of factors, but our core methodology has remained the same. Our goal is to develop trusting relationships between residents and our caregivers, and to help our patients reach their highest level of independence.

What people say

Testimonials

“River’s Bend is well maintained, clean, and has exceptional food. The residents love to play bingo and other activities, and residents are rehabbed out of the facility as fast as they come in. What makes the place great are the amazing, caring, and friendly CNAs and nurses.”

- Spencer, Resident

“The staff have treated me so wonderful. The occupational, physical, and speech therapists have done an excellent job working with me. Not to be forgotten, River’s Bend has some of the best nurses around!”

- Catherine, Former Resident

“Nice bricks and mortar are wonderful features to have when caring for people, but those that have ever been cared for will tell you it’s not the bricks or the mortar that make the facility special, it’s the caregivers. I for one, am proud to be a part of those caregivers at River’s Bend Health Services.”

- Michael, Executive Director
