I can't say enough good things about The Elms. The staff is professional and genuinely cares about the residents. Everything is spotless, the meals are delicious. When my Great Aunt stayed there It was such a comfort knowing she was in safe hands.

The staff in the Memory Care unit provided care for my mother from May until last week when she passed. The care she received from every staff member was unique, professional and compassionate. Many of the staff there care for family members of their own who suffer from dementia and this makes them so very compassionate. They receive training in dementia care. They treated my mother and our family wonderfully and were fierce advocates in her final days. I would recommend this facility to someone seeking care for a dear family member.

From my first visit I knew Rittenhouse of Michigan City was the right place for mom. Every staff member is professional, personable and obviously very caring. The facility is welcoming, bright, airy and refreshing. There are activities and outings for all interests. Stephanie Olson, Director of Sales, has been willing to spend as much time as needed to answer any and all questions, and address any concerns. Her smile lights up the room!
