October is National Retirement Security Month, which serves as a reminder for our friends and neighbors to reflect on their personal retirement goals, evaluate their progress and take steps to improve their financial security for the future. It is a significant life transition that requires thoughtful and strategic planning. A “preparing for retirement” checklist that includes financial, lifestyle and emotional components can
alleviate some of the stress associated with this transition and help you feel more confident about where you’ll live and the care you’ll need.
Riddle Village is a premier Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) located in Media, Pennsylvania, conveniently adjacent to Riddle Hospital. Since opening our doors in October of 1993, we have been dedicated to creating a vibrant community where residents can enjoy an active, fulfilling lifestyle with the assurance of care if their needs change.
Our community began with three independent living apartment buildings and a central common building where amenities offered included three restaurants, an indoor pool, a game room, Towne Hall theater and more! Just two years later, Monticello House expanded our care options with 38 Personal Care apartments and 60 Skilled Nursing beds. By 1998, Hampton House was added to provide additional independent living apartments. The final expansion of Monticello House in 2008 brought 11 more Personal Care apartments and 26 Skilled Nursing beds, completing the full footprint of our campus.
While our physical campus has reached its boundaries, the growth of Riddle Village has never slowed. Over the years, we have continually invested in expanding our amenities, services and experiences for residents and their loved ones.
In 2019, we embarked on a multi-year enhancement of our common spaces. Highlights included the complete renovation of our Governour’s Inne and Chesapeake Room restaurants. The Governour’s Inne offers an elegant dining experience where favorites like lobster tail and filet are always on the menu, while the Chesapeake Room provides a more casual atmosphere with buffet-style service and convenient takeout options to suit a
busy lifestyle.
In 2021, we proudly introduced the Thoroughbred Lounge, a lively social hub with a full-service bar and distinctive dining options. Open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, it quickly became a favorite gathering spot for residents to enjoy cocktails, appetizers or a relaxed meal with friends.
Most recently, in July 2025, we unveiled our brand-new lobby and gathering spaces, the final step in our multi-year transformation of the first-floor commons. These new areas were thoughtfully designed to be both elegant and inviting. We are committed to offering premier amenities that meet the expectations of our current residents while ensuring Riddle Village remains a sought-after community for future generations of residents to come.
At Riddle Village, we believe life should be full of choices, whether that means dining in a variety of unique restaurant settings, enjoying newly refreshed social spaces or engaging in the many programs and amenities available each day. Our goal was simple. Create a warm, vibrant and future-focused community where residents feel proud to call home.
When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel the difference—welcomed, inspired and excited to experience all that Riddle Village has to offer. Riddle Village is located at 1048 W Baltimore Pike, Media. For more information, call 610-891-3777 or visit our website at RiddleVillage.com.
