Rittenhouse Senior Living of Hoover is only for memory care patients. The staff there seemed to be caring and helpful. This is not a place for someone who is not suffering from dementia.

My mother lived here for a few months while she was waiting for a space to open up in the memory care facility where her husband lived. The staff was generally friendly and helpful, particularly the front office/daytime receptionists and a couple of her personal care assistants (PCAs, I think they call them). However, twice my mother's toilet was clogged and it took days to get it fixed/cleaned up...even after I offered to do it myself while I was there and they declined. The entryway feels very institutional and dated, as does the building in general; multiple residents are typically sitting by the door and staring outside, begging/crying to leave, rather than being redirected and/or involved in some kind of activity. I viewed it as an acceptable temporary fix, mainly because her PCAs were attentive and we had limited options at the time - but it's not a place I would want my mom to live long-term.

This facility seems nice. They were in the process of doing a little remodeling. It is one level set in a square so you can't really get lost in it. Several rooms for activities, as well as an outdoor area. When I was there the residents were outside under a shaded area participating in activites. Everyone seemed happy and the staff was friendly. It is located close to the Interstate in a Very nice area of town.

A Place for Mom has scored Briar Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center 9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
