Rittenhouse Village Gahanna

The Rittenhouse is a Wonderful Place for your aging parents! My Dad moved into his apartment in April 2024 and was there until he passed in Sept 2024. When he first moved in, I couldn't believe how kind, caring & helpful the female staff were to my Dad and me, and everyone that lives there. I knew he was in good hands staying there, as I felt very comfortable with the Staff, knowing they would help him with anything. The staff are very empathetic to residents needs. They made sure his Hamsters were fed, when he was in the hospital for a week at a time. They even allowed us to have a Celebration of Life for my Dad, after his death at Rittenhouse. Plus they provided warm meatballs and cookies too. My Aunt & Uncle also love the place too, they stay in one of the Guest Rooms while they are in town, instead of a hotel. I know the Staff loves my Aunt & Uncle, and vice versa, in fact they are there right now.

I was very impressed during my visit. All of the staff were warm and helpful. Everyone is very accommodating and eager to help. The rooms are lovely. I would have liked to see more vegetarian options for dining, instead of having to make do with a salad and side dish of vegetables. But overall the Worthington seemed exceptional to me. Sunny and bright, well maintained.

My Dad lives there. The marketers will brag about the food, but it's nothing special. I've eaten there with my Dad. The portions are stingy, and the food is no better than "edible." The fixtures inside the apartments are as cheap as possible. In the first two weeks he was there, the flimsy closet doors came off-track and had to be fixed twice. The a/c is inadequate to cool his small one-bedroom apartment. It's in the living room, and the bedroom is uncomfortably hot. The only advantages of living there are that everything is close by, and the rent is not outrageous. They don't require an unrealistic upfront "buy-in" like many other places. They have activities, and are allowed to have pets. They don't seem to care if a pet is vicious or not, though. Also, there NO EXCUSE for having only one elevator. Moving in was ridiculous. I'd give it fewer stars if it cost one penny more than the 2400/month my Dad is paying. In our possible price range, sadly, it was the best we could afford. Other places in the area have MUCH higher fees & rent, though, so we knew it wasn't going to be deluxe. And it certainly is not.
