Assisted Living Communities in Goshen, IN

"The Brentwood at Niles was clean, it was nice, and the people seemed happy. We looked at both assisted living and memory care. We are looking at assisted living for now but it will eventually be memory care for my friend. It was nice, we were pleased with it. I only really met one staff member and she was friendly. I don't know what specific activities they have but they had some people singing yesterday. The staff said that they have a lot more but we didn't ask what they were."

"It was very clean. A lot of people had their doors open, and everything was clean and smelled nicely. The people were incredibly nice. It was a quiet neighborhood. I liked the whole setup of it. They don't have a nursing home, but they will keep you until the end. The staff has been in constant contact with my relative and with me too. I liked it so well and it was convenient, so I didn't go any place else."

"My parents moved into Greencroft Goshen. They have multiple levels of care. Since my parents are in independent living, they get their first choice if they have to move up to either assisted living or nursing care, so that was one of the main reasons we chose it. The area is very close to doctors and grocery stores. It is a very good area, and it is easy to get around. I've heard a lot of great reviews. The staff has been wonderful. My parents seem to like the food. They have a lot of activities."

"I toured Waterford Crossing. The difference with them is that you buy a duplex, and when you leave, you sell it. Whereas the others, you kind of buy in, but you don't get your money back if you have to move, so that's a big difference. It was more out in the country. Everything seemed nice, friendly, and clean. The staff who toured me around was very nice. It was more like a little village with little houses and stuff that you bought into. It's like a little community and everybody has yards and stuff."

"Waterford Crossing is a very well-rounded assisted living center. I really like the way in which it helps keep friends and family connected to its residents. I especially enjoy the Happy Hour they have every Friday (friends and family as well as residents can attend)! Most of the staff is friendly and helpful, though we have had a few "gruff" interactions over the years - but not many. There are a lot of different activities for residents, from social activities like playing cards, to exercise groups, to worship services, and more. The residents also seem to enjoy the nearby elementary school, which often has the kids come in and do performances for the residents. The rooms are big and spacious, though it depends upon the number of rooms you choose. The building itself is relatively new and well lit, and some of the rooms have a great view of the pond out back. They also have a "driver" who can take residents to appointments, church, or other places in town. About the biggest problem we've ever had with Waterford Crossing is with the carpeting. It was too thick and it caused my friend to tire more quickly when walking around in the hallways. She even tripped and fell once because of it. Overall it's a great place for the money. "

"Mom has moved to Cottage Garden. The people are really good and caring. They only have six residents. There are two caregivers there all the time, so the ratio of caregivers to residents is high. It's like a home setting. It's a big house, so it's not like a lot of the care places where you walk out of your room and you're in a hallway. Mom walks out of her room, and she's right in the kitchen, and the other side of the kitchen is the living room. It's set up nice. There's a lot of individual care. She's got a full bath off the bedroom. She's got a TV that they installed, and she got a hospital bed. The room is average-sized. She can help with the cooking if she wants to. They have games and knitting. They have an outdoor patio where she can birdwatch. They have a lot of feeders out and stuff like that. It was a little expensive."

"My mother-in-law moved into Green Oaks of Goshen. They've been very welcoming and accommodating. It's a low-income housing. They were very helpful to us during the Medicaid process. It's brand new, so it's clean and in good condition. The one thing I have been dissatisfied with a little bit is the maintenance. She's had a couple of maintenance issues and they haven't been tended to as quickly as they should have. The staff is kind and attentive. The food is fine. They offer bingo, they offer trips to the store, play cards, they have UNO, they had Thanksgiving dinner, a luau, and trick or treating. The residents passed out candy to the neighborhood children. The rooms are very spacious, and the layout is good."

"Greencroft Middlebury is closer to us. But they only had a studio available. The facility is small. There are only 12 residents in total and 12 rooms available. It's easier to get around. It's brand new, so it's clean. They have activities, but the area outside where they could walk is not private. The staff members were all great. We talked to the cook, and she was right there preparing their meals. They have games, movie nights, and a rec room. It has restaurants nearby. They have a grocery store. It's more like a small local downtown shopping area."

"HolistiCare Homes would fit us if we can get my sister on Medicaid. You could get three meals a day and housekeeping once a week. They have a salon. The facilities were very clean."

"We decided to have mom at Miller's Merry Manor in Wakarusa, because they had an opening, and compared to other places in the area, their price is a little bit more reasonable. The staff is very nice and very helpful. Her room is very nice and clean. It's a studio. The food is very good. They have bingo and an exercise class in the morning."

"It is a very clean place. All the staff is very helpful, and we've had a good experience so far. My mother gets three meals a day and they distribute her medication. The dining area is very clean. They keep the residents spaced apart and they have assigned seating, so she knows where she's going to eat every day. It's very nice. There's a lot of activities such as balloon volleyball, noodle ball, and some other physical activities. My mother seems to enjoy it."

"My father has moved into Heritage House Senior Living. It's very nice. The outside faces a golf course, and it has a beautiful pond with geese and a screened-in area to overlook it. The inside is beautiful. I only got to go in to tour it. They have outside visitation during COVID. They have studio apartments, and he got the bigger one. They do activities down at a lower level of the place, and they have an ice cream bar. There are things in the hallways set up like puzzles, and they have places to sit in the hallways. They allow pets. The staff is very nice, and meals seem to be good. The food looked good the one time I saw it, and they have a choice if they don't want what they're serving. There's an alternative menu they can choose from, and he liked that. The rooms are very nice. They are well priced and one of the lower ones I saw. I was really impressed with it."

"The memory care unit offers excellent care for my mother in law. I appreciate the engaging things the life enrichment team offers. The rooms are beautiful. The food is always hot and good. My mother in law is at ease and enjoys interacting with her neighbors there."

"I brought my father here to visit a friend and noticed how happy and at home all the residents were. The apartments there are bigger than what I expected, so beautifully updated too. While I was there, there was a holiday party going on for New Years and it was amazing to see how many staff there dressed up and helped out. Primrose knows how to throw a party and the residents always have something fun to do! My father has started to consider his options and we are surely heading back to Primrose."
