The Rittenhouse Standard

Named for Philadelphia's finest neighborhood. Held to its standard.

Every caregiver, every conversation, every detail is measured against the quiet excellence Rittenhouse Square has always stood for — discretion, dignity, and deeply human care.

01

Rigorous Caregiver Vetting

National background checks, reference verification, skills assessments, and caregiver-client matching interviews — before anyone enters your home.

02

Dedicated Care Coordinator

One person who knows your family. Reachable 24/7, present at the first visit, and the single point of contact for every question or change.

03

Personalized Plans, Not Packages

We don't sell tiered bundles. Your plan is built collaboratively — hour by hour, task by task — with you and your loved one's clinicians.

04

Continuity of Caregiver

A consistent, familiar face. We protect the caregiver-client relationship aggressively — because trust is built, not assigned.

How It Begins

From first call to first day of care.

Clear, compassionate, and unhurried — most families are matched and supported within 48 hours.

1

A Warm Conversation

Call or request a callback. We listen first — no sales pitch, no pressure.

2

In-Home Assessment

A care coordinator visits to understand daily needs, preferences, and home environment.

3

The Right Caregiver

We match on skills, personality, and schedule — then introduce before care begins.

4

Care Begins

Service starts on your timeline. Your coordinator checks in weekly — the plan adapts as needs evolve.

Our Care Professionals

The people behind the care.

What Families Say

In their own words.

Rittenhouse didn't just send a caregiver — they sent someone who fits into our mother's life. She laughs again on the phone. That's the measure.

Margaret L.Daughter · Rittenhouse Square

After Dad's surgery we were terrified of the transition home. Our coordinator was there the day of discharge — briefed, kind, prepared. The care plan worked.

Daniel R.Son · Society Hill

Consistency is everything in dementia care — and Rittenhouse delivered it. Same two caregivers, every week, for eighteen months. That's rare. That's real.
