Rittenhouse Village at Portage offers three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can receive only the services they need while remaining on the same campus if their needs change. Clinical support addresses a broad range of medical situations, including residents who wander during the day or at night, those with a history of elopement or combative behaviors, advanced dementia conditions, and other behavioral issues. Nurses monitor individuals who require oxygen, wound care, or blood-sugar management, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. The community also accepts adults under 60 when clinically appropriate. A dedicated therapy room on site allows physicians, therapists, or outside providers to deliver rehabilitative or maintenance therapies without residents having to leave the building.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff around the clock, and an awake night shift ensures continuous monitoring. All employees undergo background checks, and pull-cord systems immediately alert staff if help is needed. The building features door alarms and a fenced rear area to reduce the risk of wandering. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while encouraging residents to feed themselves when possible. Mobility support ranges from standby assistance to one-person transfers and includes help for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs. An activity director plans daily programs that complement the clinical services and keep residents engaged.
Apartments are available in several layouts. Some offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, in-unit laundry, and individual climate controls, while others share certain features; not all accommodations include every amenity. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms to suit personal preferences. Weekly housekeeping comes standard, and those units without washers and dryers receive scheduled laundry service through staff.
Meals are prepared three times a day, with both set menus and cook-to-order options. Snacks are available between meals, and residents may request in-room dining or reserve the private dining room for family gatherings. Specialized diets, texture modifications, and vegetarian selections are accommodated by the culinary team. Independent Living residents participate in a monthly meal plan that offers flexible dining credits, allowing them to decide how often they dine in the main restaurant versus cooking in their own kitchenettes.
The campus is wheelchair accessible and provides resident parking, scheduled transportation, and concierge assistance for appointments or errands. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, library, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
