Testimonials

Living at Cardinal Ritter

I have been here for 12+ years and I knew the minute I walked in the door and heard residents coming off the elevator telling jokes that this was a friendly place! You can enjoy yourself all day long and be social, but at the end of the day, when you return to your apartment, you have all of the privacy you desire, which is invaluable to me. Safety was also a big reason I decided to leave my home and move to OLOL, where I did not have to live alone.
– Fran
I came to OLOL with my wife, who I lovingly cared for here and who has since passed. I love the convenience of my apartment near all of the amenities and using the workout room as well as playing cards with friends every week.
– Ernie A.
It’s the place to be for someone who wants to retire, and wants someplace safe. It’s a good location. The apartments are so nice. I tell everyone I see what a wonderful place it is.
– Crystal M.
It’s a wonderful place. Very clean. Wonderful workers and I could never be in another place where everybody cares for everybody else. I’ve never seen anyone unhappy, really.
– Sister Lucia
Everyone is concerned about you, from the servers, housekeeping and activities. They listen to us. I don’t care what kind of building you have, it’s the staff that makes the place.
– Laverne
