1-, 2- and 3-Bedroom Apartments

Our independent living apartments are not only luxurious but highly customizable according to your needs and preferences. Our one-bedroom apartments are spacious and comfortable, ranging in size from 557 to 1177 square feet. If you find you need a little more space, two and three-bedroom apartments are available, and you can use our interactive floor plan styler and work with our design team to truly create the apartment of your dreams.

Continuum of Care Options

Older adults are physically younger than ever thanks to advancements in health care and wellness. However, it’s recommended that you make a plan for future health changes as early as possible. By choosing a continuing care retirement community, you don’t need to worry about moving away from your beautiful apartment and community of friends if your health requirements change.

Let’s look at the different levels of care offered here at Riddle Village:

Independent living residences: Independent living is all about living an active life and enhancing your social life while escaping the daily responsibilities of chores and bills. This type of living gives you time to write your memoirs, practice your favorite hobbies or pursue something you’ve always dreamed of but never had the time to do.
Personal care: This level of care promotes independent living while offering help with activities of daily living that are required or desired. Living alone might not be possible at this point, but with the help of our healthcare team medication management, cooking, grooming and similar services are offered to help you live your best life.
Skilled nursing care: Outside of a hospital, skilled nursing is the most comprehensive level of care available to older adults. Licensed nurses are available around the clock, and individuals with chronic health needs are monitored constantly.
Respite: In some instances, such as when someone is recovering from a hospital stay or their caregiver is on holiday, temporary respite services are needed. This involves a short-term stay in our community while you recover or your caregiver takes a break.
Rehabilitation: Recovering from a serious incident doesn’t need to take place at home. Rehabilitation services help older adults in these situations manage pain and improve functions such as speech, flexibility, strength and mobility.

What Exactly Are Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs)?

Continuing care retirement communities (also known as life plan communities) offer multiple levels of care on location and a wide range of services, amenities and care options. What’s more, residents with our Lifecare (Type A) contract have peace of mind that they can remain in the same community if their health care requirements ever change without an increase in cost.

If you ever need personal care or skilled nursing, you won’t have to leave our community and can receive these services if the need arises. CCRCs are the first choice for many older adults due to the predictability and relative affordability of staying in one place.

Why Riddle Village?

Life at Riddle Village is unlike what you’d expect from a traditional retirement community. In fact, it has more in common with a hotel or resort. Let’s look at the main reasons our residents tell us they love living here.

Safe and Secure Apartments

Our private residences are equipped with all the safety and security features you could need without compromising on style. Emergency pull cords and a daily check-in button located in the bathroom are monitored 24/7 by the Riddle Village nursing team. You have access to Wi-Fi, cable, beautiful decor and all the modern conveniences, with personalized closet space and custom paint colors.

Enhanced Privacy

With one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments available, your apartment home can become your sanctuary. While socializing is at the top of many residents’ agendas, time and space to themselves are also valued highly.

The Best Staff

Luxury continuing care retirement communities aren’t just about a luxurious setting. They also offer enhanced care from highly qualified, friendly and loving staff. Every person who works within our community, from support workers and chefs to skilled nurses and maintenance technicians, are chosen based on their passion for their job in addition to acumen in their area of expertise.

Social Opportunities

We don’t just provide access to a wide array of social activities, games and hospitality settings; we actively promote a social, active lifestyle. One of the things our residents love most about our community is the social life they inherit just by moving in. Residents can choose to do as much as they want in our community.

Maintain Independence

Aging doesn’t have to mean a loss of independence or an impact on dignity, and we do everything we can to ensure our residents are as empowered and self-motivated as possible. We don’t tell you what to do or force you to follow a strict daily schedule. Instead, we provide a wide range of opportunities and amenities, leaving you free to choose how you spend your time.

Transport and Trips

We’ll help you get where you need to go. Contact one of our helpful transportation staff if you need a ride to a doctor’s appointment or want to take a trip to your favorite restaurant.) We are happy to take you Monday through Friday!

We believe every day in our community should feel like the best holiday you’ve ever been on. With convenient access to a heated pool, social events, gym and sports throughout the year, you’ll never be bored.
