Assisted Living Communities in Columbia City, IN

"I moved into Silver Birch at Cook Road. It's very nice, and the apartment is very large. They're very friendly, attentive, and they seem to be organized. They have exercise, bingo, cards, crafts, and billiards. The dining area is very clean, and the food is good."

"My mom liked Coventry Meadows Assisted Living and Garden Homes. It was a smaller community and it had nice grounds. They had a lot of the same type of amenities like movie night set up in the theater with popcorn machines and different activities. It appeared to be very clean and well-kept. They had set times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, you had to fall into their schedule as far as your meals were concerned. They had studio apartments. They all had a microwave and a hotel-style refrigerator in them. The staff that was taking us around on the tour was very polite and very knowledgeable. I saw a couple of other staff members in the hallways as we were taking our tours and they were polite. They acknowledged us and said hello to us."

"Dad moved to Hamilton Place. It is a good place. They've been very patient and helpful, and I think I made the right choice going with them. The staff has been excellent, caring, and supportive. Dad's room is a good size, a tiny bit dated, but overall it was a good fit for him. The facility is nice and clean and smelled good. I am very happy with it. There are lots of activities going on. They take people on excursions and shopping every week. They also have bingo, games, puzzles, and different exercise classes. The dining area is restaurant-style dining. The whole place is very family oriented."

"My friend is at Lake City Place right now. My sister looked at it, and to me it sounded like a good and nice place. I think the staff is doing a good job, they are very friendly, and knowledgeable. The food is excellent. He likes it. I've not been there actually, and I just had a virtual tour with them, but my sister is taking care of the rest. Overall, I think it's a very fine place."

"I live in the independent living at Peabody Retirement Community. I like it very much. The people I live with around are very nice. The community itself is very nice/well taken care of. I would like to find some other community that maybe doesn't cost quite as much, and is maybe closer to the rest of my family. Fort Wayne would be better. I have a duplex. It's a two-bedroom with full kitchen. I would say it's about a thousand square feet, with a garage. The staff is very nice. I don't take advantage of the food very often because I have my own kitchen. Especially now with the pandemic, the independents don't mix in with the regular building. We don't go into the dining room anymore. The food is very good. I just don't take advantage of it very often. It's a beautiful facility, it's full service, and a continuum location. In other words, I am independent out here, but they offer the full services if I need to go inside for assisted living or healthcare. It's all here. They have buses to take us to meals and takeout food shops. They have a bingo or artwork, all kinds of things going on during the normal week, but of course, not now."

"My mother-in-law is in Miller's Senior Living Community. It has a cafeteria-style billing where it has a lower rate to begin with, and then the more assistance you need, the more you pay. They have free transportation on particular days of the week to and from doctor's visits. They have outings that they do to local shopping. They have activities and church services. They need to have increased staffing and a less expensive fee for assisted services."

"BrightStar Senior Living of Fort Wayne was a really nice place, but it's just starting up. They only had four residents when I visited and we were unsure whether my dad would enjoy that since there won't be a lot of interactions with people. The rooms were really nice, though they probably could have been larger. They have an enclosed patio with an open patio on the second floor directly above it, so they have an open area within the building. They also have a sidewalk within the area so you can be outdoors. The dining area was nice and very bright because it's right next to the patio. Maybe it's a bit small, but from the size of the building, it's very adequate. They had a nice sitting area and a game room. They were playing some kind of game while we were there. There weren't many people to start with, but it looks like they have things to keep them busy. It seems like they've only been open for two to three months."

"I toured the Life Care Center of Fort Wayne. They offered activities for the residents. The staff were friendly and seemed to be caring for the residents. The facility was clean, and they had good security. However, it wasn't up to my standards. They could improve a little bit on everything."

The staff was very nice, and they took us on a tour. They have church for them to go to, rehab, and a gym with equipment "

"I would not recommend them. It's a very mixed income. It is not maintained. It was filthy. They only had one person trying to keep up with staff that were all over the place. I had an appointment to talk to them and they did not know I was coming. They are going to call me back, but I would not recommend that one for my aunt. They didn't have staff. They were way short. I did not see the dining room. It was on the second floor, but I talked to the residents and the consensus was sometimes the food was good and sometimes it was not so good. The activities were very poor. They had a person, but they left and they lost their activity coordinator. It looks like they lost their maintenance, their staff, and activities. They're just not going to cut it."

"Evergreen Village at Fort Wayne offers great features and everything my grandparents are looking for. The staff members are polite and helped with the move in process. So far everything is working out in our favor and they are excited to go. They have a walking area and a garden, and my grandparents love that very much. It is everything they we were looking for and more. The one-bedroom apartment is very spacious with a nice kitchenette. They also have alert buttons that you can carry around in case anything happens."

"We checked Saint Anne Home and Retirement Community. They had very nice staff, but it was a really old building and they had I think a fire at one time, so there were apartments that were renovated, but the available ones were older, and I don't think they would have worked very well for my sister's wheelchair. My mom would have done fine in it, but I think my sister would have had difficulty getting around. I didn't talk to all of the staff, but the ladies that I did talk to were very, very nice, and it was clean. The dining area was clean. The ladies were very helpful to the people that were living there. I didn't see the new renovations, but those were all filled."
