  • My tour review

    This community was fine but both of my loved ones wanted to be in the same community. This community only had memory care and I needed both. If it was just my father he would have been there, but I needed care for my mother also. The tour guide was fantastic.

  • Very Pleased

    My mother stayed at rittenhouse for a year. I was very pleased. They took very good care of her. The lady in the beauty shop, the house keeping staff, the nurses,the craft/entertainment lady, all were great. I could not take care of her by myself anymore. They helped both of us.
