Our House Senior Living - Richland Center Senior Apartments sits at 250 N Orange St and serves older adults, mainly those aged 55 and up, with a mix of care options and housing choices that really try to fit what folks might need as they age, so you'll find assisted care, memory care, short-term care, and even hospice services in a setting that tries to keep things as normal and home-like as possible. The building's got spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments in different layouts, and each one comes with a private kitchen or kitchenette, walk-in shower with safety bars, big bathroom, emergency call systems with pull cords and pendants, and it's all set for everyday tasks since housekeeping and maintenance take care of chores, with weekly laundry service for bedding and towels and even free laundry rooms for personal loads if you want to do them yourself. Residents get three family-style meals every day in a dining room, and there's always snacks around too, with a kitchen staff who take care to put focus on easy-to-eat, nourishing food.
You'll find friendly staff there every day who help with daily living if needed, like help with dressing, medication, or managing routines, and the care team works with families for memory care so folks with Alzheimer's or dementia get their own plan to help them feel calm and safe-there are dedicated spaces and staff for this, and memory care tries to mix personal care with activities that keep minds active and bring some laughter and comfort to folks struggling with memory loss. Pets are allowed with some policies, so animal lovers don't have to give up their companions. Apartments and common areas have senior-friendly layouts, including spots like an inviting lounge with a fireplace, a quiet second-floor library, and an on-site salon for beauty and barber needs, plus scheduled rides out for errands or trips to parks, restaurants, or shops, and there are always activities to join like crafts, cards, walking groups, or gatherings around the living room. There's even devotional services offered offsite for folks who want that.
The senior apartments and condos, and townhomes too, are meant to help people continue living as independently as they can, and the setup encourages socializing, so residents eat together, join hobby groups, or visit in the front rooms and shared kitchens, and involvement is encouraged with "Our Life" programs that plan community events and keep residents active. Security and safety get considered in things like the emergency call systems and the staff always keeping an eye out, and there's a monthly rent that covers utilities, meals, housekeeping, and laundry, so it's fairly straightforward. All this is part of the larger Our House Senior Living group, which means there's some consistency in their approach, focusing on respect, dignity, and offering as much independence as possible, and you'll feel there's a quiet, caring mission behind it, which is sometimes all you can ask for in a place where people are looking for comfort, routine, and friendly faces as they enjoy their later years.
