Riddle Riddle Village’s grounds are rooted deep in history and tied to the famous Delaware County native, Samuel D. Riddle. Mr. Riddle owned and operated his family’s woolen mill business started by his father, however, he is more commonly known for being a sportsman and the breeder of competitive racehorses. Of the many horses he owned, the most famous were Man O’War and War Admiral. Man O’War has been titled “Horse of the Century” and War Admiral (Man O’War’s son) is well known for being a Triple Crown Winner in 1937. Upon Mr. Riddle’s death in January of 1951, he specified in his will that his estate be used to provide a hospital for the community of Media. With $2. 5 million and 72 acres of land along Baltimore Pike, provided by Mr. Riddle, a charter for the hospital was granted on November 29, 1956.

Many start this process early, but it’s never too late to start prepping. A “preparing for retirement” checklist that includes financial, lifestyle, and emotional components can alleviate some of the stress associated with this transition and help you feel more confident about your future. Riddle Village has years of experience helping seniors and their families carefully plan and prepare for retirement. As a trusted partner for seniors and their loved ones, we’re offering this guide to help you get started. Why You Need a Retirement Planning Checklist Creating a checklist for retirement brings structure to the planning process and ensures you consider all vital elements. Proactive planning can also help you avoid many common stressors seniors face, such as social isolation and financial concerns. The Emotional & Logistical Benefits of Planning Early Transitioning from work life to retirement can take an emotional toll on seniors. Developing a checklist for retirement planning can reduce this pressure by giving you time to make choices that are best for you. Without a plan in place, you may be forced to make last-minute decisions regarding your health care, finances, or housing. Tailoring the Checklist to Your Lifestyle Your retirement vision may differ from that of your friends, neighbors, and coworkers. That’s why it’s important to create a customized checklist for retirement planning that meets your specific needs.

Explore effective tips for caregivers to promote mental well-being and keep spirits high. - Published: 2024-11-18 - Modified: 2024-11-18 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/depression-in-seniors-during-fall/ - Categories: Tips As fall approaches and the days get shorter, many people start to experience symptoms of depression. Seasonal affective disorder is something both young people and older adults can experience during the colder, darker times of the year. An elderly person may feel depressed because they're spending more time indoors and less time socializing. Nutrient deficiencies and a lack of exercise can also trigger depression. It's important for caregivers and family members to be aware of the physical symptoms of depression and the behavioral changes that might indicate someone could use additional support. Taking action promptly to treat depression can help increase the chances of recovery. At Riddle Village, a luxury retirement community in Media, PA, we provide a supportive environment where seniors benefit from social engagement, year-round activities, wellness resources and mental health support. Our team strives to help people stay active and engaged year-round. Understanding Depression in Seniors During Fall: Why the Season Matters People joke about how they feel in a good mood on a sunny day, but there's actually some sound science to back up the idea of seasonal depression. During fall and winter, as the days get shorter, people are exposed to less sunlight. This results in the body producing less of the feel-good hormone serotonin. Cold weather doesn't help matters, either. People are less likely to spend time outside exercising if it's cold and wet. Exercise helps with sleep and encourages the body to produce other feel-good hormones known as endorphins. A sedentary lifestyle can... --- > Discover how Pennsylvania's tax rules affect Social Security and retirement income. Plan your retirement with expert guidance from Riddle Village. - Published: 2024-10-24 - Modified: 2024-10-24 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/is-social-security-taxable-in-pa/ - Categories: Tips Income tax is a complex topic, and policies vary between states. This can make retirement planning a challenge, especially if you're used to the rules in one state and considering moving elsewhere. Is Social Security taxable in PA? What about other benefits? How are property taxes handled for seniors? These are all issues you'll have to consider if you're planning to retire in Pennsylvania. What Is Social Security and How Does It Impact Seniors in Pennsylvania? Social Security benefits are paid to workers, retirees, and other qualifying individuals based on their Primary Insurance Amount (PIA). If a person retires at their expected retirement age, they'll receive 100% of their PIA. If they retire at age 62, they'll receive 80% of their PIA. These payments are adjusted annually based on the cost of living and play an invaluable role in helping people cover their general living expenses. There are various misconceptions about the program and how it works. Unlike many other benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income, Social Security isn't means tested. Is Social Security Taxable in Pennsylvania? Understanding the State Regulations The state of Pennsylvania doesn't tax retirement income, and all income from Social Security is untaxed. Pennsylvania also doesn't tax retirees' 401(k) or IRA income, and pension income isn't taxable for anyone aged 60 or older. Property taxes here are above average, but rebate programs are available for older adults, which can help reduce some of this financial burden. Note that this only applies to state income taxes.

Recognizing When Your Parents Need More Care Recognizing when an elderly parent needs help isn't always easy. They may not want to make their loved ones worry or admit they're struggling. Certain physical, emotional, and behavioral signs can provide insights into their health status, however. Signs to look for include: Physical decline, such as reduced personal hygiene and noticeable weight changes Bruises or injuries from frequent falls or accidents Memory issues, such as forgetting appointments or medications Increased irritability, mood swings, anxiety, or depression Social withdrawal or loss of interest in pleasurable activities Neglecting household tasks, such as cleaning or paying bills Increased frequency of illnesses or hospitalizations Changes in diet or sleeping patterns Trouble managing finances Evaluating Care Options for Elderly Parents After determining your aging parent needs help, evaluate potential care solutions based on their health and personal care needs.

The community’s atmosphere and social opportunities should foster a sense of belonging, and staff interactions must demonstrate empathy and respect. To ensure seniors maintain their independence and autonomy, caregivers have to assist residents with their needs while allowing them to enjoy their privacy and make their own choices. During the research phase, be mindful of common scams targeting seniors that can appear as ‘too good to be true’ housing offers.

Although it's good to get outside, extreme heat and excess sun exposure can cause serious problems, especially in seniors who have chronic illnesses or take medications known to cause increased sensitivity to sunlight. Follow these summer health tips for seniors to stay safe in high temperatures. Essential Summer Tips for Seniors During the summer, it's important to drink plenty of water, protect your skin from sun damage and take steps to prevent heat exhaustion, heatstroke and other serious problems. Implementing just a few summer tips for seniors can help you avoid complications related to too much exposure to sunlight and high temperatures. Overall, you need to wear sunscreen, dress appropriately and understand how to avoid heat-related illnesses. It's also helpful to eat summer-friendly foods and get regular medical checkups. Why Hydration Matters for Seniors As you get older, your body composition changes, making it more important than ever to drink plenty of water. Many older adults also take diuretics or other medications known to cause fluid loss. Water aids digestion, improves brain performance, prevents kidney stones and helps your heart work normally, among many other functions. Water also helps regulate your body temperature, making it an ideal drink for the summer months. To stay hydrated, aim to drink one-third of your body weight in ounces each day.

Learn how to simplify your life, manage belongings, and enjoy a stress-free move to your new home. - Published: 2024-01-15 - Modified: 2025-07-22 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/6-tips-for-downsizing-in-retirement/ - Categories: Tips Downsizing in retirement can often appear as an overwhelming challenge. Here are some tips to help make the process go as smoothly as possible. 1. Make a List Looking at all of your belongings as a whole can be overwhelming. By breaking them down into categories and sorting through them one at a time, downsizing becomes a much more manageable task. Start making lists with categories; such as, “Everyday Uses” or “Can’t Live Without”. If an item isn't important or hasn't been used recently, consider leaving it behind when moving to your new home or a retirement community. Additionally, you may consider giving it to friends or family members. 2. Know Your Future Floor Plan Being as familiar as possible with your future living space will help you to better envision the furniture layout of your new home and save money. Ask for larger floorplans for your new home. Some communities even offer interactive floorplans that you can use to mock up furniture placement. If you are moving into a senior living community, ask if you can visit someone living in the same size apartment. This will not only help you determine the furniture that best fits your new home but also complement your retirement lifestyle. You can also get some advice about downsizing from someone who has been in your shoes before. 3. Get an Objective Opinion It is only natural that you feel a connection to everything you own, but that can add an emotional hurdle when deciding... --- > Learn who qualifies for skilled nursing care and the benefits of specialized medical support at Riddle Village.

What qualifies a patient for skilled nursing care and why it is necessary? In fact, health issues sometimes reveal vulnerabilities in older adults' living circumstances that indicate the level of care they're receiving needs to be increased. Skilled nursing can make a significant difference in health-related outcomes and restore mobility in patients who may have lost it after an illness or injury. It contributes to enhanced patient well-being due to the added oversight. The cornerstone of this medical approach is the administration of care techniques and therapies provided by licensed health professionals under the guidance of licensed nurses. It allows patients to benefit from best practices and participate in custom treatment plans that match the pace of their healing process. What Is Skilled Nursing Care? Skilled nursing care is a specific form of care performed by licensed nurses in a medical setting under the supervision of a qualified physician. Such settings may include hospitals, nursing homes, or assisted living facilities. This higher level of care requires advanced training and may consist of services from registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical nurses (LPNs). Skilled nursing staff consisting of physical and occupational therapists are also typically included in the offerings of a skilled nursing program, as are certified nursing assistants.

Retirement community independent living is for individuals who don’t require assistance with day-to-day tasks but no longer fancy the responsibility of home maintenance. Daily chores, fixing broken HVAC systems, cooking and cleaning lose their luster after several decades, and you can turn your back on them forever by moving to a luxurious retirement community. A driving factor for many choosing independent living communities is the deep sense of community they offer. There’s no need to feel lonely with numerous kind, sociable, and fun potential friends awaiting your arrival. Ensure that the community you select takes every measure to allow you to entertain visitors in style, providing friends and family members a glimpse of your lavish lifestyle. An Independent Living Community An independent living community offers seniors a vibrant lifestyle with private residences, social activities, and amenities tailored to support autonomy.

Riddle Village has long used stretching exercises to help seniors maintain their flexibility, balance, and independence for longer. Follow along as we outline the best stretching exercises for seniors and their benefits. Importance of Stretching Exercises for Seniors Joints are areas in the body where bones connect to facilitate movement in different directions. A padding called cartilage coupled with a lubricant called synovial fluid makes movement at joints safer and swifter. However, as you age, cartilage cells take longer to regenerate and the amount of synovial fluid decreases, limiting joint mobility and flexibility. These changes make movement painful and increase the likelihood of older adult falls, which are the leading cause of injury and injury deaths among seniors. Stretching exercises help the synovial fluid move around your joints, relieving tension in thinning cartilage that would otherwise make movement painful. These exercises also make your joints more flexible, enhance your balance and improve your posture. Dynamic and Static Stretching Flexibility refers to the range of movement in a set of joints. There are two types of flexibility: dynamic and static. Dynamic flexibility is required to move joints in all possible directions. For example, you have dynamic flexibility if you can move your shoulder joint in a complete circle. Static flexibility helps your joints maintain a particular position with or without support.

What is Short-Term Rehabilitation for Seniors? Short-term rehabilitation for seniors can include a variety of medical and therapeutic services to provide extra support or healing after a health setback or hospital stay. Short-term senior rehabilitation can help those recovering from an accident, illness, injury, or surgery. Not all older adults require short-term rehab for a successful recovery, and many individuals may wish to return home after being in the hospital for a period of time. However, a stay in a short-term rehab facility can be beneficial for a patient's health if additional medical care is necessary to help them regain mobility and strength. Skilled nursing facilities also provide access to licensed professionals, including therapists, doctors, and nurses, for round-the-clock care. When Are Short-Term Rehabilitation Services Needed?

If you're considering getting a canine companion during retirement, here are a few things to keep in mind when deciding on the best small dog breeds for seniors and retirees. Benefits of Dog Ownership for Seniors Many people view retirement as a life stage where you shouldn't take on more responsibilities than necessary. The work required to give dogs a happy, healthy life can make you feel dog ownership is not for seniors. However, these benefits of having a dog may make you reconsider your position. Dogs Make You Lead An Active Lifestyle A pet dog requires a safe, secure home, free from hazards that can endanger its life. Your four-legged friend also requires daily walks, healthy food, and a good cleaning and grooming routine. Thus, having a pet dog encourages you to move around to maintain your home's hygiene, make it healthy food, and take it for walks.

If so, you know strokes can come with serious side effects, including speech problems. In this blog, we'll review how strokes affect language skills and how speech therapy after a stroke can help. How Do Strokes Affect Communication Skills? A stroke happens when blood flow toward the brain is suddenly disrupted. There are two types of strokes: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic strokes result when blood vessels in the brain narrow down, while hemorrhagic strokes are caused by blood vessel ruptures. Although anyone can be the victim of a stroke, elderly individuals have the highest risk — around 75% of stroke patients are 65 or older. After undergoing a stroke, people may experience symptoms like pain, paralysis, and memory loss. Strokes can also impact the language center of the brain, leading to speech disorders like aphasia, dysarthria, and apraxia. Aphasia The most common speech issue caused by a stroke is aphasia. It can be divided into the following categories: Receptive aphasia: Difficulty understanding others Expressive aphasia: Difficulty speaking Mixed aphasia: Combination of receptive and expressive aphasia In more severe forms of aphasia, stroke survivors may also have trouble writing and reading. Dysarthria Dysarthria is a disorder that affects oral motor skills by inhibiting muscle movement.

Find out more about speech problems in the elderly and the treatments available. - Published: 2023-01-10 - Modified: 2023-01-16 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/speech-problems-in-the-elderly/ - Categories: Tips Do you have an elderly loved one who is struggling with their communication skills? If so, you're not alone. It's common for older adults to develop health issues that negatively affect speech and verbal abilities. Oftentimes, these communication problems are a natural side effect of aging. In some cases, however, they may indicate a more serious health problem. Let's take a closer look at common speech problems in the elderly and the treatments available. What Are Symptoms of Age-Related Speech Changes? Speech problems often progress and become more pronounced as time goes on. However, in the early stages, they may not be very noticeable. That's why it's important to pay attention to your loved one and look out for signs. Common symptoms include: Voice changes Difficulty swallowing Trouble with certain words Hearing loss Cognitive changes Sudden changes in an elderly person's voice, such as increased hoarseness, changes in voice patterns, or slurred speech are key indications of speech problems. These signs may be accompanied by more subtle symptoms, like trouble consuming food or struggling with certain pronunciations. Another sign to look out for is hearing loss. When an elderly person loses their hearing abilities, it can affect their capacity to process words and communicate. Most notably, it affects speech comprehension. Finally, keep an eye out for any changes in cognitive skills. Things like memory loss make it harder to understand words, sentences, and general grammar, which consequently impacts communication. Cognitive changes also affect confidence, which may discourage seniors from speaking.... --- > As people age, their needs may change and they may find it necessary to sell their home. Here are some signs that it might be time for a senior to sell their home. - Published: 2022-12-29 - Modified: 2022-12-29 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/when-should-seniors-sell-their-home/ - Categories: Tips Many seniors prefer aging in place and want to live in their homes indefinitely. Staying in familiar surroundings can be healthy for seniors, especially when they have social capital through their relationships with family and neighbors. Having a connection with loved ones who can help with transportation to appointments, errands, and personal care is a safety net that enables an older adult to feel confident living independently. Still, there comes a time when it may be best for a senior to sell their home. Limited Financial Resources When should seniors sell their home? A senior's financial situation may be the determining factor. Retirees can lose 50% or more of their income when they stop working full-time, but their monthly expenses may grow. While they may save money on transportation, workday lunches, and clothing, their living expenses might outpace their monthly cash flow, especially during periods of high inflation. Seniors who still have a mortgage may risk losing their homes if they miss mortgage payments or can't afford property taxes. Food, utilities, health care, and property taxes are expenses that can fluctuate, leaving a shortfall in the money needed to cover them. Seniors who continue to drive must maintain their vehicles. Many retired seniors don't receive pensions, so they rely on Social Security income, which is typically insufficient to pay for their needs. As a result, some must use credit cards to meet expenses or seek help from community organizations such as food pantries. Home Maintenance Maintaining a home's value means... --- > Wondering what government programs are available to help seniors?

Find out how spinning can help seniors live a healthy lifestyle through our guide. - Published: 2022-10-26 - Modified: 2022-10-27 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/is-spinning-good-for-older-adults/ - Categories: Benefits Spinning is a fairly modern term for a centuries-old physical activity, indoor cycling. Is spinning good for older adults and can they handle it? While almost any kind of physical activity is better than none at all, and cardiovascular exercise is especially helpful for living a healthy lifestyle, it can be difficult for independent older adults to maintain regular workouts outdoors. Indoor cycling helps fill that gap, and taking a senior spin class can be just the thing to stay active long into retirement. What Is Spinning and Its Impact on Senior Adults? Spinning is an exercise program that involves riding a stationary bike indoors. The wheel on the indoor bike spins, which is where the exercise gets its name. When it's done in groups, it can be a fun social occasion. The idea of getting groups of people together to ride indoor bikes and have fun is where spinning classes began. The activity is fun in itself, and the presence of others helps encourage riders to keep up a steady pace and stick with their spinning for the long run. Easygoing Cardiovascular Exercise Versus Strenuous Exercise Of course, spinning isn't the only way to get exercise. There's also a debate over whether you should stick to something low-intensity or go for something more strenuous to make gains faster. There's no consensus about which is objectively better, and your doctor is the best resource to ask about which is right for you.

While most people associate it with the conclusion of a person's career, it also represents the beginning of a new, post-work journey. Ultimately, it's an impressive accomplishment that deserves recognition. A great way to acknowledge someone's retirement is by gifting them a retirement card. Keep reading to find out what to write in a retirement card and for a step-by-step guide on crafting the perfect one. 1) Choose Your CardThe first step is selecting your card. Of course, you can save time and effort by purchasing a pre-written retirement card. However, writing your own personal message offers a special touch you simply cannot find in store-bought cards. 2) Consider Who the Card Is ForNext, consider the card's recipient. Are you writing it for a co-worker or acquaintance? If so, you might want to stick with a brief, formal message. On the other hand, if you're crafting a card for someone you're close to — such as a friend or family member — you may feel more comfortable writing a long, personal message. 3) Consider the Reason Behind RetirementWhen it comes to retirement messages, there are plenty of directions you can go. To decide whether you want a more serious or funny tone, consider the reason behind the retirement. There are two main reasons why someone might retire: By choice Due to unexpected circumstances Some people choose to retire because they're ready for the next chapter of life or want to spend time... --- > As seniors age, they may develop mobility problems that can increase the risk of injury.

Physical therapy is specialized care that uses exercise, movement, massage, assistive devices, and other methods to help individuals regain function and strength after injury or illness. Physical therapy benefits anyone and can help address certain health conditions older patients are likely to face. What Is a Physical Therapist? A physical therapist is a licensed health care expert who specializes in helping individuals at risk for developing mobility issues by using exercises and other therapies. First, a physical therapist will review a patient's health history and evaluate their abilities, including balance, movement, posture, and similar issues. Next, the physical therapist develops a treatment plan that may include exercise, massage, cold or heat therapy, strength training, and education on how to use devices like canes or walkers. Why Is Physical Therapy Important for Seniors? As they age, some individuals develop mobility problems and health conditions that can increase their risk of injury, including arthritis and osteoporosis.

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a service dog must be trained to take a specific action rather than provide general support. For example, some service dogs are trained to detect seizures or remind their handlers to take prescription medications. These are important traits that retired service dogs for seniors have. When these well-trained dogs retire from their duties, they're often adopted by new families. This gives the retired service dog a chance to relax and its former owner the opportunity to work with a younger service dog. Although they're retired, former service dogs have a lot of life left in them, making them well-suited to living with older adults. Keep reading to learn more about how to adopt a retired service dog and benefit from its companionship.

Dental implants are an excellent choice for younger people to replace natural teeth. However, for older patients, full or partial dentures are a more usual choice as the procedures to fit them are less invasive and traumatic. Both methods are great for restoring your smile and come with their own range of options. For example, a patient may choose to have partial dentures to replace a few missing teeth, just a lower or upper denture, or the dentists may remove all teeth and replace them with full dentures. Unfortunately, it does take some time to get used to new dentures, and there's a bit of an adjustment period. But how long does it take to get used to them, and can you do anything to reduce this period? Read on to learn how to get used to dentures. Expect Some Discomfort When First Wearing Dentures According to dentists, once you have your dentures fitted, you'll soon become aware of some minor irritation and soreness — much as you would expect from any dental procedure. This is because your gums need some time to become used to the new teeth. Although the denture fixative does provide some cushioning, the new dentures will still rub against your gums as they heal.

From socializing to working, Covid-19 changed the way we approach our daily lives, including the way we take time for ourselves and relax. With travel restrictions and everyone wanting to avoid the spread of any illness, the newest trend is “staycations. ” This new type of vacation is where people take the key parts of a vacation and the best parts of staying home and combine them to create a calming environment to hit that much-needed refresh button. Anyone can benefit from this new type of relaxing break, including retirees! So, what exactly is a staycation? A staycation is when someone takes a few days for themselves without traveling. They stay home, clear their calendar, and enjoy local attractions and activities. Unlike a typical vacation, stressors such as the cost of flights or gas, having an up-to-date passport, and finding hotel accommodations are avoided. Staycations are more popular than ever because they also have the added benefit of not having to worry about the restrictions that Covid brought with it when traveling. International trips or even just out-of-state travel currently have guidelines in place that help eliminate the spread of Covid.

Older adults will find their options include apartments, single homes, or retirement homes. These are different from assisted living communities or skilled nursing facilities, which are meant for older adults who require some level of medical care and assistance with activities of daily living. Many older adults find retirement apartments their best option because they combine independent living with professional assistance (like lawn care and housekeeping) at a more affordable cost than single homes. Communities featuring single homes offer the independence of apartment communities but at a much higher price tag. Retirement homes may be a good choice for older adults who are single, but this option doesn't provide much privacy or space.

There are six official resident committees that are involved with nearly every area of Riddle Village. The committees are dining, activities, wellness, library, environmental, and finance. All these committees work as a team within the Resident Council to share information and to ensure our residents are kept up to date on all matters affecting Riddle Village. To best summarize the role of the Resident Council, we spoke to Barbara Rizzo, the President of the Association and the Council. “The Council is the vehicle that can either answer residents’ questions or get them the answers or help they need,” Barbara said. “Floor Representatives have the closest connection with residents, but there are Committee Chairpersons and Executive Officers who also strive to make Riddle Village an outstanding place to live. ” The Resident Council is designed so that it brings our residents, staff, and management together in a way that benefits all of Riddle Village. Each committee chair chooses residents to be on the committee, and each committee has a management staff member that comes to the meetings. This direct communication helps to ensure every voice is heard in our retirement community. Residents can approach any committee member with questions, concerns, or praise. Residents can also ask their floor representative at the frequent floor meetings to speak for them at the council meeting. While all residents are... --- > Continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) are gaining in popularity.

For many, the answer is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). These communities are tailored toward the needs of these older adults. There are many benefits of living in a CCRC, but they're only going to happen if you choose the correct one for your needs. Because these are long-term communities, you will have to ensure that you’re looking for one that can meet your future needs. When you’re embarking on the journey to find a CCRC, consider these points: What Is the Cost of the CCRC? One of the most important things you have to do is to determine if you can financially afford the CCRC. Most CCRCs require you to pay an entry fee. Ask what happens to that fee. In some cases, a part of it is returned to your family when you pass away or to you if you move out. Some CCRCs use a sliding scale that provides the refund based on length of residency. You also have to find out what the monthly care cost will be. This usually depends on the level of care and the type of unit you live in. When you are discussing this, find out what type of increases you can expect if your care needs increase over time. Ask about the ancillary charges, which are services and items you will pay for that aren’t included... --- > Riddle Village is pleased to announce some exciting changes coming to our executive team!

Bob Bertolette, the Riddle Village President for over 25 years, is getting ready for a hard-earned retirement. Kim Roguszewski, our current Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, will be stepping into the well-deserved role of Chief Executive Officer. While Bob has been with Riddle Village for over 25 years, his time in the retirement living industry has spanned over 44 years. His expertise in the industry has guided our community in remaining a reputable home to many residents. Riddle Village’s ability to remain attractive to the consumer, both residents and prospective residents, over the years is one of Bob’s proudest accomplishments from his time here. “While financial stability and resident satisfaction are important strategic initiatives, it cannot happen without an ongoing commitment to repositioning our amenities and maintaining or improving our infrastructure,” Bob said. “Our success is measured by our marketing outcomes, including strong occupancy rates. ” Under Bob’s leadership, Riddle Village has expanded greatly since opening in 1993. We have added two independent apartment buildings, a healthcare facility and then an expansion several years later. We have added amenities such as a state-of-the-art fitness center, courtyard and so much more. Recently our restaurants have been updated and renovated to ensure our residents always have the best dining options. These renovations have been huge successes for Bob in terms of resident satisfaction and improving our community. “I am very proud of our new restaurant venues... --- > Thoroughbred Lounge will be a valuable addition to Riddle Village and its expected to be completed in Summer 2021.

To learn more about the improvements this dining venue will bring to our community, we asked Kim Roguszewski, Executive Vice President of Riddle Village, what she was most excited for our residents to experience after renovations are complete. “The new lounge will provide more seating for our residents and will also increase the daily dinner options to three distinct dining venues,” Kim said. “This allows residents to choose from 3 different restaurant styles without ever leaving the community. We never want our residents to be bored of the dining options, it should always be a fun and enjoyable dining experience! ” Part of the fun dining experience at Riddle Village is the special menu options available in each of our restaurants. The Thoroughbred Lounge will have some menu items that are specific to that dining venue, but it will also have some favorites from our Chesapeake Room and Governor's Inne. Every menu item is crafted with our residents in mind, so before... --- > Birdwatching is one of the most relaxing and rewarding pastimes.

As human beings, being out in nature is one of the healthiest things we can do.

Read on to find out the top seven benefits of bird-watching for older adults, as well as some hints about the birds you're most likely to come across in Media, PA. 1. Get Outdoors It's called the great outdoors for good reason. Getting outside gives you a chance to breathe fresh air deep into your lungs, lets you bathe in the sun's rays and soak up vitamin D, and provides a chance for movement. Oxygen, vitamin D, and movement are all essential components that contribute to a person's overall wellness, and bird-watching provides the perfect excuse to get outside. 2. Keep Fit It's only in the last couple hundred years that humans have been sedentary. Our bodies evolved over millions of years of hunting, gathering, and exploring. As such, we're hardwired to move, and the more we move, the healthier our bodies are.

Shopping for home décor can be a tiresome process. On the other hand, creating something on your own can be relaxing and leave you with a sense of accomplishment. Read below for some ideas on how you can make something to spruce up your living area. Jewelry Organizer Jewelry can be hard to organize, especially for necklaces that get tangled or earrings that can get mismatched. One way to keep them in order is to make your own rack or box to store them in. For a necklace rack, you could use a piece of wood and some wine corks to easily mount on the wall and hang the necklaces. Riddle Village Residents have access to a Woodshop right in our community, so there are also plenty of ways to build a jewelry box or even repurpose a desk organizer to create a storage space for trinkets and charms. Floating Bookshelf With apartment spaces, it is so important to get the most of all your wall space. Bookcases can be bulky and take up a lot of room. Floating bookshelves are a way to store items without losing space in each room.

Not only is it important to get rid of any lingering germs, but cleaning can be a way to rejuvenate your daily life. While Riddle Village Residents benefit from weekly housekeeping and yearly deep cleaning, there are still some easy things to do day-to-day to make sure your home is a refreshing and relaxing area. Utilize Dishwasher Did you know that the dishwasher can be used for more than just dishware? Dishes are made out of glass or plastic, so it makes sense that other items made from the same material could be washed in the same way. Household items such as sponges, toothbrush holders, and plastic hairbrushes and combs can safely go on the top rack of your dishwasher. This is a quick and easy way to get rid of bacteria. Check Expiration Dates It is so important to go through foods, drinks, and medicines to make sure everything is still in date. Oftentimes, we get busy with our day-to-day life and may not be paying as much attention to the dates printed on labels. It is good to do this at least once a year to make sure everything you are consuming is safe.

Whether you've got a graceful peace lily on your dresser or a hanging ivy by the window, plants help create a calm, soothing environment. There's also a certain joy in caring for a plant and helping it thrive. Many beautiful houseplants require minimal care and are perfectly suited to apartments in our senior living community at Riddle Village. Here are some of our favorites to get you started. ZZ Plant Formally known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia, the ZZ plant has shiny, dark green leaves. While it's fairly resilient, it's happiest in a room with indirect light. Intense sun may be too much — if your ZZ plant starts to lean away from light, move it to a shadier spot. Choose a pot with good drainage holes, as the roots can rot from overwatering. A good rule of thumb is to water every couple of weeks, checking that the soil dries out in between. Oxalis Also called the purple shamrock, the beautiful oxalis has triangular leaves in a deep violet hue and small flowers in the spring. Place it in a room that receives bright light and give it water every week when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the fall and winter, a dormant oxalis only needs watering every two to three weeks. This unique plant has its own circadian rhythms.

There are several reasons why you might choose to make this move — maybe you want to live someplace with warmer weather or a lower cost of living, or perhaps you just want to be closer to friends and family. While there are several practical matters to consider, the most important factor is making sure you're comfortable and happy in your new place. Learning more about the different types of retirement home locations can help you make the right choice. Urban Settings Many senior living communities are situated in urban areas — regions within or surrounding a city. Typically, urban locations offer high populations, industrialization, and busier lifestyles. Residents in urban independent living communities have easy access to city amenities, from restaurants and shops to arts and entertainment, as well as transportation. However, the proximity to all these perks typically translates to a higher cost of living. Moreover, these regions tend to be crowded and noisy, which can cause stress and pressure. Rural Settings Contrary to urban locations, rural settings are situated in more country-like areas. They feature large expanses of land, lower population rates, and a lower cost of living. Rural locations are praised for their tranquility; they often house beautiful landscapes, hiking trails, and even mountains, which lets residents take in the serenity of nature. On the other hand, being farther away from... --- > While stuck inside during the pandemic, there are still ways to spend time with family and friends.

Manage Anxiety Anxiety is the most common mental disorder in America. With plenty of change and fear ingrained in our daily lives during a pandemic, it is no wonder many are beginning to experience anxiety for the first time or more often than they typically do. Anxiety is a treatable disorder and is something you should speak to your doctor about. Talking about it with a medical professional can help you pinpoint what causes your anxiety and how best to cope with it. You can also ask about breathing techniques, physical activity, and dietary changes that can help you manage your anxiety and stress. Self-Care Remember to treat yourself every once in a while! Taking care of your mind and body is something that should be part of your daily schedule, but self-care is more of a special occasion to relax and give yourself the attention you deserve.

To ease the condition, many people opt to reduce their symptoms by taking extra dietary supplements and following a low-inflammation diet. These steps help maintain a healthy body weight, which also eases pressure on joints. This post will help you pick some choice foods and supplements to reduce the aggravation of arthritis Joint Wear Arthritis affects millions of people worldwide and occurs when the cartilage that cushions and protects the ends of your bones gets worn down. Although arthritis can affect any joint, it commonly affects your hands, knees, and hips. These areas become stiff, sore, and aggravated by inflammation. This inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury and is essential — without it, simple infections or wounds could be deadly. But excessive inflammation also occurs in response to unwanted substances in the body. Toxins such as cigarette smoke or a persistent bad diet can increase the body’s inflammatory response. Glucosamine Glucosamine is a key component of cartilage, the substance that cushions your joints. It’s naturally produced in the body, but its levels drop off as we age. In studies, glucosamine decreased joint pain and improved movement, as well as protecting cartilage from further wear and tear. Glucosamine is made with shellfish and so is unsuitable for those with shellfish allergies. Vitamin D Vitamin D is essential for your bones' absorption of calcium, which is vital to staving off osteoporosis. A deficiency in this vitamin is prevalent... --- > Receiving the yearly fl vaccine can prevent sicknesses from many of the flu viruses.

While most cases improve in 1-2 weeks, serious complications can occur in adults over 65. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates nearly 500,000 people are hospitalized each year from influenza-related complications. Every year, the variant of influenza changes. The best way to protect yourself against it is by getting vaccinated for the type of flu that’s expected in the coming winter.   But there’s an optimal time to get this protection against this unwelcome winter visitor. This article lays out when. Flu Basics There are two main types of flu viruses, influenza A and influenza B. It’s estimated that the A strain causes 75% of yearly infections. The symptoms are much more prolonged and severe than a cold. The infection stresses the body’s immune system and makes it more susceptible to potentially fatal complications such as pneumonia.   Annual vaccination prevents around half the infections in a typical flu season. For those who still become sick even with the vaccination, the shot may reduce severe symptoms. It also helps lower the spread of the virus by reducing the time someone can spread infectious droplets. When’s the Best Time to Get a Flu Shot?   The CDC recommends that the best time to get vaccinated is from the start of September to late October. Flu is most common during the fall and winter months as we tend to spend more time inside. This... --- > Eating in has never been so easy.

The flexibility and free time now available to you provide an opportunity that might not have been practical while working or looking after a family. With the children having long since flown the nest and grandkids now older, the physical and emotional benefits of sharing your life with a cat or dog can more than outweigh the commitment needed. So if you've weighed the pros and cons and decided to bring a pet into your life, the next question is which animal to choose. Cat or Dog? First, dogs need exercise, sometimes lots of it. Even smaller breeds need regular, supervised outings to keep them healthy and happy. This could be just the ticket for active retirees, but for many folks, cats may be more suitable. They can happily live indoors, and when you need to go out, they can be left alone for far longer than dogs. If they do venture outside, they're capable of looking after themselves and returning home without training. They also require far less grooming and food. But what else is it about cats that make them excellent pets? Here are some other reasons why you should consider a friendly feline as a partner in retirement. Great Company Ultimately, humans are social beings who thrive on close interaction.

Hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and masks have been flying off grocery store shelves for months in the hope that they will protect us from the virus. These are important items to keep handy, but there is also a lot you can do in your daily life to strengthen your immune system and ensure you are at your strongest. Sleep In order for your body to be able to fight off any threats, it needs to be well-rested. According to Mark Moyad, M. D. , M. P. H. , Jenkins/Pokempner director of preventive and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center, when you are sleep-deprived, your body churns out stress hormones like cortisol to keep you awake and alert, which can suppress your immune system. Not only does having a good day-to-day sleep schedule set you up for a strong immune system, but it also prepares you for getting a good rest if you do come down with an illness. Whether you are working to stay healthy or bounce back quickly from an illness, sleep is an absolute necessity! Exercise Strengthening your immune system goes hand in hand with strengthening your physical health.

Gout is a very painful condition that can limit your range of motion and your ability to care for yourself. This is a form of arthritis that affects the joints, primarily the joint at the base of the big toe. It comes on suddenly, often waking you in the middle of the night. While gout must be taken seriously and will likely require medical care, it's a condition that can be treated. There are several things to think about if you receive a gout diagnosis. One of these is how you will care for yourself because of the way the condition affects your ability to do things for yourself. What Causes Gout? Gout is caused by a buildup of urate crystals in the joints. This causes the symptoms that alert you to an issue. Urate crystals are the result of a high level of uric acid in the bloodstream. The uric acid is a byproduct of the body breaking down purines. For most people, uric acid will dissolve in the blood and leave the body in their urine.

COVID-19 brought with it many fears, closures, and isolating moments. While everyone certainly faced many difficult times, we wanted to take this time to look back at some of the wonderful moments that happened in our community as residents and staff came together to carry on in a positive way. February Frolic The year started off with a special show put together by our residents. In February, residents took the stage to show off their talents. Singing, dancing, funny skits, and more were included in the show. Whether they were in the spotlight themselves or sitting in the crowd watching, it was an evening of entertainment for all! We can’t wait for the next show! Residents Making Masks Project As COVID-19 became prominent in our area, residents looked for ways they could help keep our community safe. While staying at home, residents volunteered to help give back by making masks for residents and staff. These masks were not for medical purposes and our healthcare center remained fully equipped with the appropriate PPE to take care of residents in Monticello, but they still helped others in need during a very hard time. We are so proud of the kindness and generosity of our residents! Parade of Appreciation for Essential Employees The dedication Riddle Village Employees have shown this year is extraordinary.

Safety First The most important service that any retirement community can provide is the peace of mind of knowing that you are in a safe environment with the opportunity to maintain or improve your health.

The full continuum of care ranges from independent living to advanced senior living services, ensuring residents have long-term support.

Our strong reputation, combined with a vibrant lifestyle and the availability of Lifecare, makes our CCRC one of the most appealing communities in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Keep reading to learn more about how continuing care retirement communities compare to other senior living options. Defining a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) So, what is a continuing care retirement community? It's a community with several levels of care, such as independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. CCRCs are different from other senior living options because they provide multiple senior living services in one place. This makes it easier for residents to get help with additional needs as they get older. For example, if you're looking for independent living now, you may need assisted living within the next 10 years. If you choose an assisted living community rather than a CCRC, you'll have to find a new place to live when your needs change. Continuing care communities have independent living and residential care options in the same place, so there's no need to search for... --- > Transitioning from a house to a smaller independent living apartment is at times a struggle. Here are some tips on how to maximize the space! - Published: 2020-10-28 - Modified: 2022-04-04 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/maximize-the-space-of-your-independent-living-apartment/ - Categories: Tips Downsizing into an independent living apartment is a big step for some individuals. Many people who are making this move wonder how they will be able to go from having a house to living in an apartment. If you’re in this position, there are a few things you might be able to do that can maximize your usage of the apartment. One of the first things that you need to do is set a plan for the living space in your new apartment. Find out the measurements of each room you’re moving into so you can create an outline. The Riddle Village website offers floor plans for each of our 10 apartment styles. These come complete with measurements for most of the living areas to make your planning easier. Start with the Furniture Think about how the furniture you have now will fit into the new apartment. Keep in mind, the square footage may be different than what you’re used to. One thing some residents of independent living apartments might overlook is how the shape of the furniture can impact the overall space. Instead of sticking to squared-off furniture, think about curvy or rounded options. Round end tables and coffee tables, sofas with curved arms, and similar options can help to reduce the look of the right angles in the apartment. Because the appearance of size can be deceptive, you should grab a measuring tape to ensure things will fit through the doors and hallways to the apartment. You can... --- > The health and safety of our residents is a top priority. That's why Riddle Village has a dedicated team of skilled nurses. - Published: 2020-10-20 - Modified: 2021-05-03 - URL: https://www.riddlevillage.com/blog/living-life-the-rv-way-skilled-nursing/ - Categories: Residents, Benefits Riddle Village Skilled Nursing provides residents with round-the-clock medical care in an engaging environment.

When is Skilled Nursing Needed? There are many different reasons that a skilled nursing stay may be necessary. A short-term stay is common when someone needs some extra care to help regain his or her strength before returning to their prior home setting. These types of stays can be helpful in the recovery process following surgery or an accident. A long-term stay is when someone’s medical needs change, and an extended or permanent move is necessary for his or her health and safety. In both types of skilled nursing stays, direct care, supervision, and access to amenities and services are available. A Team of Experts The most important part of a skilled nursing stay is the care that is available to every resident. Our staff of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are available to residents 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
