Worry-free living for active seniors

Independent Living at Richland Place means enjoying a secure and stress-free environment with other active seniors aged 55 and older. With our restaurant-style dining room and other on-site community activity areas, the Independent Living center presents an elegant and welcoming environment for you to live and for your friends to visit. Richland Place offers apartment homes ranging in size from 740 to 3,000 square feet with newly-renovated kitchens and bathrooms, spacious and well-appointed living spaces, and private balconies or patios. Maintenance of appliances inside your home as well as maintenance of the property is all included and each home is outfitted with emergency alert systems and safety systems for added security.

As a resident, you can also enjoy the many community benefits and amenities, including organized group activities, a pool and hot tub, fitness center, on-site salon, and a game room for a round of billiards. Group and private, chauffeured transportation is also available. Click here to view a list of amenities.

For your added peace of mind, as an Independent Living resident, you also have priority placement in Assisted Living or The Health Center on the same campus if the need arises.

Do you dress for dinner? Dress is not formal and jackets are not required for gentlemen, but we do ask that shorts and jeans not be worn in the dining room.

What are the hours of the dining facilities? We are open for lunch from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and for dinner from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Sunday Brunch is from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Our soda shop is open for breakfast weekdays from 7:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. Lunch is served from 11:00 am until 2:30 p.m.

How many meals are served at Richland Place Independent Living? Residents choose one meal a day in the dining room – either lunch or dinner; additional meals are available for a fee. Soda Shop/Deli charges are extra, but nominal and can be put on the resident’s monthly statement. A complimentary men’s breakfast is available every Tuesday and a women’s breakfast is every Wednesday. Each apartment also has a fully equipped kitchen.

What about newspaper delivery? Our security personnel will deliver to your door the newspaper you subscribe to; we also help you with heavy packages.

What about privacy? Once you enter your apartment, you are in your home. People do not “drop by” without calling first. You may go days without seeing your neighbor! You can participate in as many (or as few) activities as you choose, but you may enjoy mealtime companionship without assigned seating.

May I choose my own paint colors? You may customize your apartment any way you wish. If you are building bookcases or moving walls, you will need to submit drawings and the name of the contractor for approval. If you wish to change paint colors, just provide us the paint and our maintenance staff will paint it for you.

How many apartments are there? There are a total of 136 apartments. We do have a waiting list available if the floor plan you are looking for is not currently available. Download the waiting list agreement here.

What is the charge for the guestrooms? Both of our guestrooms are $70 per night, with a four-night maximum. This can be charged to the resident’s monthly statement or paid by check directly by the guest.

What happens if my health deteriorates? Richland Place is a continuing care retirement community, which means that Independent Living residents are guaranteed a place in our Assisted Living or Health Center as their needs change. In addition, there are significant discounts and benefits available for people who may need temporary rehab after recovery from illness or surgery.

What about security? Our building is locked at night and staffed 24 hours a day. Residents who happen to be out “after hours” can easily gain entrance by ringing a doorbell connected to the front desk. An emergency response system is also located at the front desk for residents who may experience a health emergency during the night.
