"Brookdale Granger had a very tiny apartment. All you got was a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. However, my parents really don't need a lot now in life. They had some of the most wonderful staff I met at any of the facilities I visited. Everyone there was so friendly, and everybody knew each of the residents by first name. They were actually having a birthday party, so we got to go down there. They had a couple of big lounge areas with TV's and DVDs. It was a really nice place. My mom and dad have a dog that they truly love, and the dog can go with them."

"My father is currently a resident of Tanglewood Trace. So far, it's been great here. I've noticed that the front-desk staff know most of the patients by their first names. They call most of the people who are living here by their first names. I have heard that the food is really good here. He's even been really happy with the nursing staff who come in and give him his meds. So, all around it's a good place. They already have his pictures up, and it looks like home. They have chairs and couches in the hallways where you can sit. If you feel like you need to get out of your apartment, you can go and sit out in the lobby. They do all kinds of fun activities. It's quite a nice place. They'll take a trip; they take a bus and go into town. They do bingo, crossword puzzles, and playing cards. They do card making, and they have a walking club. They'll have ice-cream sundaes, take a trip to Martin's, or take a trip to the Dollar Tree."

"We have placed my father at Brentwood at Niles. I would say that we were impressed with the facility itself. They encourage their residents to be active and socialize with others, so they have a sense of community. The staff has always been very helpful and friendly. He was just placed there on Monday, so it's only been a couple of days that he's been there. His room is very nice. He was able to bring some of his own belongings and furniture in to make it his home. I think the facilities are very nice. It was very welcoming, and the facilities were clean. We just feel very comfortable with him being there. He likes the food. They're hoping to loosen up things with COVID and everything, but they do have movie nights, card games, bingo, and family nights. We picked it because of the location. I only work maybe three minutes away, so it's convenient for family members to come and visit him."

"We just moved Mom to Harmony At Elkhart yesterday. They're accommodating what we need. It is brand new. Everything is bright and light, and it has lots of windows. They have a movie theater. They even have a bar in there somewhere. I had lunch there yesterday, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever. She has to be on a pureed diet, and they're doing excellent with that. The facility is very pretty. The staff is cheerful. They have all kinds of activities, and they take them out for day trips, as far as going to restaurants, and they can go to the grocery store and all that. At this point, it's very well worth what we have to pay. We have checked around, and I think it's very comparable to everybody else."

"My uncle is comfortable at Kelly's Hillside Manor. He likes the other people who live there. He likes the guy who owns the place who also takes him to all his doctors' appointments. My uncle shares a room with a fella and they get along really well. The owner's wife is from the Philippines and she does all the cooking, so she cooks Filipino food and my uncle really likes it. The owner takes them out for a pizza once every two weeks and asks them if they want to go to a movie and if they do, he takes them. Don, the owner, is a really great guy who cares a lot about the people. He always talks to them and listens to what they have to say."

"I have a sister-in-law living in The Village and it is a highly advertised and well-known facility in the community. The facility is very upscale and beautiful. The staff is very nice. My sister-in-law's apartment is very nice. She has bell access for help, but does not require assisted living at this point. But if she needs that, she can stay in the community and have it. She is happy to have a nice place to be without having to upkeep a house. "

"Cedarhurst, formerly Waterford, is by far the best independent and assisted living community. We moved my Mom and Stepfather in just before the COVID pandemic hit full force. So glad we did! Their apartment is wonderful with a small kitchenette, two bedrooms, two baths, and no kidding closet space! Unheard of in this arena. Tons of options and flexibility with eating meals. The nursing staff and other support staff genuinely care, and will communicate with the family on any and all matters. I looked at many, many places and none of them touched what Cedarhurst offers! "

"I have made so many friends since moving here. I love to do all of the activities. My favorite game is bingo. I like to do the shopping outings and when we could go out to lunch. I love that we have had to reteach ourselves games that we forgot how to play. March and April we could only do socially distant bingo and then the activites lady was off for a bit so we forgot how to play farkle!"

"We looked at Silver Birch of Mishawaka. It's close. They have activities where they can go outside. It's a nice area. And I think Wednesdays and Fridays they have things where they can leave the facility, and you can go to the store or something. The staff seemed to be respectful, and the people that were there seemed to be happy. The place was clean. All the people seemed to be well taken care of."

"My dad was a resident of Wellbrooke of South Bend. They did their best with him, but he wasn't happy there. Other patients came into his room, used his bathroom, and slept in his bed. He's about six feet one inch, and the bed barely fits him. It was just like a dorm room. And where he's at now, we had his bed from home, and he could have his furniture. So, that was a drawback. He was just in a unit. It's separate from the other areas. It was just like an open concept, and they had activities. It was mostly women, and my dad isn't into doing arts and crafts and activities like that. The facility was clean and very nice, and they had a happy hour on Friday. The workers were good, but they were understaffed. They had one guy there who worked so hard, and my husband sometimes would have to shower my dad because he wouldn't get a shower for a week. Once a month, they had a Sunday brunch, which was nice."

"I went to Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame. They're excellent, but they're a little pricey. I have a feeling that the occupants are more educated than we are, as a lot of them are professors from Notre Dame who went over there and are retired. So, I don't know if we would fit in. It was extra clean. There were a lot of activities, and it looked like the food menu was very good. The rooms were very good, but they were very pricey. The one that we looked at, you pay a monthly rent, but you have to buy your unit. It was only a two-bedroom. It was the nicest one we had seen. Even though it's probably 20 years old, it's very, very kept up. They had a library and a gym. They had two dining areas: One for breakfast and lunch, and then their main dining area, which was upscale, just like an expensive restaurant. The staff that we met answered all of my questions. She was very open. They looked very well-qualified. They were very good. I like everything about it except it's very expensive."
