A Cherished Landmark, A Lasting Legacy At River Glen, we know retirement doesn’t mean stopping – it means starting a brandnew adventure in a community steeped in rich heritage. Envisioned in the 1920s by philanthropists Dellora A. Norris and Lester J. Norris, our historic site officially opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1940 as Delnor Hospital. Designed in a classic Colonial Revival style featuring red brick, white columns, shutters and interiors by renowned decorator Dorothy Draper, the estate transitioned in the late 1990s to become a premier senior living community built on decades of generosity and dedicated service. Life here is about exploration and staying connected. We frequently take excursions to nearby Pottawatomie Park as well as to the theater and local lunch spots. But we know exploration isn’t always about taking a trip outside the community. From book club discussions and art classes to annual car shows and holiday celebrations, cultivating creativity and connection close to home is something we care deeply about. We’d love for you to visit our community. Take the time to tour our historic grounds, experience our elegant boutique setting and feel the warmth of our traditions firsthand. We welcome the chance to introduce you to our dedicated team and residents so you can explore how to create your life, your style with us.
