98% Satisfaction Rating from People Served

One of our five value statements at Riverside is “excellence must be a guiding force in everything we do.” As part of this commitment to excellence, each year we survey those we serve to learn what we are doing well, as well as what we can do better and where we can grow. The surveys are anonymous and administered electronically.

I’m very pleased to report that respondents gave Riverside a top-level satisfaction rating of 98% across all programs. The Children and Family Services division received a 99.1% satisfaction rate and programs within this division – Early Intervention, LifeSkills/Riverside School, and Meeting Place – received 100% satisfaction scores!

Not only do we ask questions about overall satisfaction, but we are particularly interested to learn if people feel respected, no matter their background, and are active members of their treatment plan. We’re pleased that we received very high scores in these areas as well.

While these surveys are an important opportunity for input and a valuable way to quantify results, we encourage everyone we serve to have open dialogues with staff members and program directors throughout the year.

We are thankful that the hard work and dedication of the Riverside community is recognized.
