Assisted Living Communities in Greencastle, IN

"The building is very nice and the rooms are generous in size. There is very good maintenance of the facilities. The staff is friendly, caring and well trained. All seem to work well together. The building is always clean and we'll staffed, even during holidays. There are activities planned throughout the day, even on weekends. Family is always welcome to visit and if concerns arise, staff are quick to respond. Our loved ones has been in several facilities and this is one of the best."

"The Springs of Mooresville was attractive. It was nestled into a wooded area. We liked it very much. It was close to where we used to live, very close to our bank, and very close to a hospital that we've been to before. It was designed and started to be just a physical therapy place, but they had recently decided to transform it into assisted care. When we went there, they were still transitioning. They were very hospitable. They offered us a room that opened into another room to make it larger for the two of us. They had a nice discount rate for the first three months, and financially, that is what made it reasonable."

"I moved into Glasswater Creek of Plainfield. I've only been here a month. They have a lot more activities than the other place I was at. They provide transportation. They take us shopping. Something is going on all the time. The rooms are small, which is to be expected, but they're not extremely small. They're a little bit smaller than what I had before. Cleanliness is good. The staff is very nice and willing to help. They've been having trouble keeping a cook. We got a new cook and it's just not up to par. I think they could be better."

"I'm at Brownsburg Health Care Center. They don't offer assisted living. It's a rehab, and then it's long-term care and memory care. They have things that could improve, but there are a lot of really good things going on here. They have very caring nurses and some excellent aides. The good aides are the ones that have been here longer or are a little older, not the young girls. They have great activity programs, too. One of the best things I appreciate is that they would work with you on your diet. I'm on the Mounjaro shot, and I get to order what I need to eat for each meal. They also come down once in a while just to check and make sure everything is okay. They have some very caring cooks, and the food, in my opinion, is very, very good. Maybe some people don't like it, but they do a good job. Regarding outdoor spaces, I'm in their outdoor space right now. They have three different places, too. They go out of their way with regard to activities. Every holiday, we have a party. The one thing I really, really like about it here is that they have entertainers coming in from different places. Usually, once every two weeks, we have music, which could be a choir, and a lot of it is individual singers who are retired, and that is just a lot of fun. We also do bingo and church activities. There are a lot of things that way. However, the value for money is not good. When I came, their rates went up considerably because the new company did that. Many people moved out, especially private care people, because it was too expensive. I'm not giving it a very good rating on that."

"I visited Lane House. I had no problem with them except that their rooms were double occupancy. Other people that I knew who had relatives there, and they liked it, but it would not fit the criteria that my father would want. They were OK, but it was not what we were looking for. The director gave us the tour and explained very well what their philosophy was, how things worked, how they did, and how many staff members they had. We were informed of what care you would be under. "

"I toured Grand Valley Gardens Senior Living Community. They have an activity room and an exercise room. They serve meals three times a day. If you're on a special diet, you have to cut your calories and stuff yourself. They have an RN on the day shift, but they don't have any nursing staff on the other two shifts. They showed me a one-bedroom. It has a little kitchenette, a little living room, a big bedroom, and a bath with a shower. It has a bench, so you can sit down on a bench and take a shower. It has lots of closet space. The staff were pleasant."

"My mom is in Wellbrooke of Avon, and they take good care of her. They have people come in and give shows. They have buses that take them. They cover all of their food. If she has a problem, they address it immediately and take care of it. The atmosphere is excellent. It is a very new facility. The only issue that we have with the food is that if you try to go in there like on a holiday, they only have a skeleton staff ,and most of the relatives pick up the people to eat in a restaurant, so there isn't much food available. However, they are very good. "

"I toured Autumn Park of Ellettsville. What I really liked about it was the fact that it's a smaller facility, and it's a very new facility. I liked the fact that it's not in Bloomington so that when I need to go see my mother, it's less crowded. Traffic isn't as bad. The units themselves are very clean and spacious. They have a studio, which is what I think she needs. They have that available. It's a really good option because they have lots of things that make you feel like you've got your own kind of independence to a level that you can handle it, such as you have a microwave, you have a refrigerator/freezer, and you can bring in your own little appliance. They have lots of activity spaces there. They have indoor and outdoor recreational areas. They have a movie room where you can go watch movies with others if you want. The staff is very friendly, and very interested in working with me. They were very knowledgeable about what kinds of degrees of assisted living are available, and what needs to be done for those who require more assistance than others. So, all in all, I really, really liked it. The only possible downside would be while it's not in Bloomington, it's still a little bit out of my way, but that's just a very minor inconvenience, so I really couldn't think of anything major or negative. They did show me the menus that they had, which I thought was really good, because they have their basic food that they serve, but they also give you options if you don't want that. I got to talk to the cook and he also seemed incredibly knowledgeable and very energetic, so I think they've got a pretty good staff overall from the people I met."

"We looked into Wellbrooke of Crawfordsville, and they would not take my mom because it's an unlocked community. It was classy, and there's even a bar. There were two dining rooms, but one of the things that discouraged me about that is who decides who goes to which dining room. They said the residents do, and it turns out they form cliques. They have a bus that takes them shopping and to places. "
