Assisted Living Communities in Brazil, IN

"Ivy Trace was way too expensive and didn't have apartments, just nursing home-type rooms. It was a very clean and nice place in a fine location. "

"We toured here. It was a very, very nice experience. The lady that took us around was very knowledgeable and very personable. There's a nice family atmosphere. It seems like it was a community inside a community, it was very nice. They even had a bank. The apartments were very impressive. They were a nice size. We looked at a one-bedroom apartment and it was just a nice experience. I would recommend it highly. The staff who gave me the tour was very friendly. She just put you at ease, and she was very, very sweet. The dining area was impressive. We didn't eat there, but we thought it was pretty neat to have so many selections. For my dad, that's a really important factor. He was looking at the menus a lot, so he seemed pretty impressed by that. We saw lots of things posted for activities. The lady that gave us the tour pointed them out. We even met the person that leads the exercise activities, but we didn't see anything. It looked like they offered a lot of nice things. I like the activities that are offered. It looks like there was something every day and a lot of variety."

"We moved to Mill Pond Health Campus and part of the reason was my husband's aunt had been over here and she was pleased with it, and we liked the facility. My husband is in memory care. His apartment is a room and a bathroom. I don't know if he's got a little kitchenette there or not, but they prepare his meals and everything for him. I stay here too. I'm in a different area. I guess it's kind of a little efficiency apartment. I guess that's what you call it. There's one big room with a TV and there are three drawers under it. We bought a drop leaf table from home. We brought our bed, nightstands, quilt rack, and chair with us in my apartment. The food is good. The staff was very helpful and very accommodating. Everybody seems very pleasant. The facility is nice and clean. There are things going on and they give an activity sheet every day of what's happening around. I do a lot of puzzles while I'm in my room. I play games on my ipad. I've got my little dog here, too."

"We really liked the Wyndmoor Senior Living. We're on the waiting list for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom and also for a two-bedroom, two-bath, whichever comes first. We got to talk with them and we're very pleased with it. We looked at some others, but we didn't find anything that was less money but better health care. The rooms were a little bit larger than what we have here. They had a refrigerator and a microwave. The staff was very thorough."

"My dad and his wife are in Cobblestone Crossings in Terre Haute. I chose it because they're 10 minutes away from me. They have a maid service that comes there and cleans a couple of times a month. The traffic in Greenwood where they were scared me to death, but Terra Haute is a smaller city, so it's easier to get around. Dad says he's back on his feet, and he's doing really well now. I go over and do breakfast and then I deliver dinner to him every night. I look in a couple of times a day to make sure he's doing alright. His wife has Alzheimer's, so we kind of take care of her together. They're both in a duplex that's 1400 sq ft. It has an attached garage for a single car. It's $2100 a month in the duplex and it was $5500 a month if we find anything compatible in Greenwood. So, he'd pay half the money if he was here. It just all makes sense for them to move in here financially. He's well enough now, he argues with you, and he knows when you're treating him like a 3-year old. I know he's 84, but you wouldn't guess that because he's fine. He was in the hospital for weeks. He was unable to take care of himself for several weeks, but now he's fine. They had activities, but with Covid they've stopped doing a lot of that. On Fridays, they have a "happy hour" where everybody gets together. In the morning for breakfast, they can go to the dining that they can walk to and it's basically across the street. The staff would come by and talk to them and see how they're doing. It's a very small community that they walk a lot and everybody knows everybody. It's really a nice neighborhood. Everybody's around their age, so they look out for one another. We only deal with Andy who takes care of everything. They don't even need to change the light bulb, they just call Andy and say, "Hey the dishwasher backed up" or if they're having trouble with something, he'd just send people to do that. They really don't interact much with the staff because they're independent. I picked this place because they're independent living, but they can always go to assisted living where they have more services brought to them. There is also memory care right across the street, so everything is right there. The duplex looks very nice and updated. It goes in a very large cul-de-sac, and they all look alike except for their numbers. It's all well-maintained and Andy takes care of the independent living housing and all of their needs. He knows who to call to get whatever they need fixed or brought to them. He's very good. The duplex looked new and freshly painted when they moved in. Right now, they've done away with a lot of the activities. They've not had a lot of Covid in there; they've had 1 or 2 cases. They post daily updates through emails, so you can look every day and get updates of what's going on. We're pretty much happy in there. "
