The Rockford community has a history and tradition of caring for those less fortunate. While fiscal considerations are important, so to are moral considerations. There but for the grace of God go I. Let us continue to provide the basic necessities for our fellow citizens in need.

River Bluff is one of the few fairly decent nursing homes in the Rockford area. It needs to remain under the control of the County, not sold to a profit making organization. Doesn't work with the prisons, won't work here either.

This county needs this facility. I have a cousin there that has early onset of Alzheimers. They are doing a GREAT job with her, and all of the staff are so dedicated and caring with all of the residents. Closing River Bluff would be a great injustice to not only the residents, but the workers.

I Use to work there when it was first built. It is better run than private nursing homes, cleaner, better managed & cheaper. There is a definite need for River Bluff nursing home in this community.

My husband Peter was a resident for almost 5 years. The care he was given was more than I could have asked. I also got to know other residents and felt like part of their family. To close this facility would bring a great hardship to many families.
