Rittenhouse Village at Michigan City offers three levels of residential care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—allowing residents to move between service levels without leaving the campus. The Memory Care neighborhood accepts individuals who wander day or night and supports advanced dementia conditions, while Assisted Living residents can receive supervision or physical help with daily activities as their needs change. Independent Living residents have access to a lighter service package but can transition to higher care tiers if health circumstances evolve.
Clinical resources at the community address a wide range of medical situations. Licensed nurses are on-site or on call around the clock, supported by background-checked, awake night staff and a door-alarmed environment. Rittenhouse Village manages diabetes for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, provides wound care, administers oxygen, and prepares physician-prescribed special diets. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can perform walker, wheelchair, standby, one-person, or two-person transfers. On-site services include visiting podiatry, a therapy room, and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses, giving families one location for most health needs.
Apartments may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit includes all features. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Dining offers both set menus and cooked-to-order options, along with snacks, in-room service, and a private dining room for family gatherings. The kitchen supports diet modifications for mechanical soft, puréed, thickened liquids, vegetarian meals, and other physician-ordered plans. Independent Living residents participate in a monthly meal plan that covers daily chef-prepared meals but allows flexibility for off-site dining or home cooking.
Residents can park their own cars, use scheduled transportation, or rely on concierge assistance to arrange local trips. Outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and communal gardens promote daily life preferences; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include an exercise room, wellness center, movie room, barber/beauty shop, internet access, library, special-interest clubs, and on-site religious services, giving residents multiple opportunities to stay active and socially connected.
