About Riverside

+
Riverside, located at 2575 South 7th Street in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is a nonprofit skilled nursing community that embodies the spirit of mission-driven senior care. Managed by a nonprofit corporation, Riverside is guided by values that prioritize resident dignity, compassionate staffing, and reinvestment of resources directly into care quality—rather than shareholder returns. This organizational ethos creates an environment where residents and families can feel confident that decisions are made with their best interests at heart. The South 7th Street address places Riverside in a well-established residential corridor of La Crosse, just south of the city's vibrant downtown core. The Mississippi River and its scenic Riverside Park are a defining feature of this neighborhood—one of Wisconsin's most treasured urban green spaces, stretching along the riverfront with walking paths, picnic areas, and stunning views of the bluffs across the water in Minnesota. Families visiting loved ones can easily combine a visit with a riverside walk or a stop at the La Crosse Center, which hosts community events throughout the year. Healthcare access is a major strength of this location. Gundersen Health System's flagship campus is a short drive north, and Mayo Clinic Health System – Franciscan Healthcare is similarly accessible. Both institutions offer emergency services, specialty physician networks, and post-acute coordination, ensuring that Riverside residents can transition between care levels smoothly. The surrounding South Side neighborhood offers a range of dining and retail options convenient for visiting families. Local spots along Rose Street, Losey Boulevard, and nearby Shelby Mall provide everyday conveniences. For those wanting a meal out, La Crosse's culinary scene—from the Waterfront Restaurant and Bar to family-friendly diners along the South Avenue corridor—offers something for every palate. With its nonprofit mission, scenic riverfront location, and proximity to world-class healthcare, Riverside is a trusted choice for families seeking skilled nursing care in La Crosse.
