The Best Assisted Living Communities in Hamilton County, IN

"My mother moved into Majestic Care of Carmel. They do a great job of securing the facility and taking care of the residents and keeping it clean. They're very caring there. When she has needs, they respond very well. The staff has been great. They're very responsive. When there's a particular need, they act immediately. They're wonderful. She only gets meal service on a very limited basis. She only gets it as she needs it. Most of the time, she's fixing her own meals in her room because she has a full kitchen. They do specific holiday gatherings and events, and games. They have had entertainers that come and perform. And so, they've been very pleased with the entertainers and with the activities."

"We were looking for a place that would care for my mom the way we would, and we found that place at A Family For Mom. The Metzler family puts the residents that are in their care first. In all aspects of the day; from grooming, to feeding, to engaging in activities, to constant communication with the resident’s loved ones, there are so many reasons to feel at ease! I love the personal updates, photos, and videos offered throughout the day, and I feel like the Metzler family have become an extended part of our family now! Best of all, I am assured that my mother is receiving the attention she needs and deserves. With around the clock care,, the Metzler’s are always there to support my mother with kindness and dignity. We have noticed positive improvements in her quality of life since mom has become a part of .this special place, A Family For Mom."

"I toured Traditions at Solana. Their price was competitive. It was very fair for a couple of other places that were of similar quality. So the pricing was very good. They were very willing to work with me on that. As soon as I walked into the building, I got this very homey kind of cozy vibe. It is a very comfortable feeling. The facility was very clean. All the staff I interacted with were very kind and polite, especially towards the residents because I got to take a peek behind the doors into memory care and see what all that looked like. I just liked the general attitude of the environment. The apartment looks nice. It was very well taken care of. It didn't look like a rundown or anything. It was very up-to-date and the safety features were all there when they needed to be and all that stuff. It was a very adequate facility."

"The Commons on Meridian is bright. It's not dark at all. They have good-sized rooms. They have a nice kitchen and bathroom area. The common areas are very nice too. They will do laundry for you or you can go to their resident laundry area if you like to do your own. They have a courtyard that's very nice. They offer respite care for a month minimum. The community was quiet, but they have a movie room for residents to go and watch movies together. They have an arts and crafts area. It was very nice. The dining room was not very nice, but everybody was very friendly. The sales director was very accommodating. The people that we met in the hallway all said hello, and so it seemed very friendly."

"Copper Trace was nice. They had a great facility. It's very clean and very new. They all had full-sized appliances in their units. I saw their menu, and it looked amazing."

"I've already moved into Sanders Glen Assisted Living. I chose it because of the care that they give. The nursing staff is great. Physical therapy is very good. Everybody's friendly and welcoming. It's pretty central to my friends that help me. I like the size of the apartment I'm in. It's very nice, just the right size for me right now. I like the little kitchenette, the small living room, and the small bedroom. I'm recovering from an amputation of my leg below the knee, so I don't need much now. The staff is very nice and very supportive. They care about all the residents. The food is very good and balanced every meal. It's an ala carte line where you get to pick what you want for each meal. They have different classes, watercolor painting class, bible study, and movie night. There's something to do all the time. There's afternoon bingo. You're just not stuck in your room the whole time. There's a lot of different activities. There's something for everybody. It's an older facility, but they've updated it and they've kept it pretty modern. It's a great place. They try to get a variety of different things. Value is great. You get your money's worth. I knew people that had been here before and they loved it. It's really hard to get an apartment here because there's not much turnover. People stay here."

"Hamilton Trace was a nice facility. The apartments were nice as well. The staff was very friendly. I like its convenience to where I live. So, it would be close for me to go and visit my dad if needed. I like that it's a bigger facility, because they tend to have memory care for Alzheimer's/dementia patients."

"I toured Traditions at North Willow. The people are cordial. It was a nice visit. The staff was excellent. The rooms were nice. The upkeep was excellent."

"The rooms are pretty big, clean, and functional. The food is awesome as I have eaten with Mom. All of the staff are caring, empathetic, kind and qualified. There are many activities for the residents to participate in. The doctors and nurses visit regularly. Medications are dispensed correctly. Independence Village of Fishers is a nurturing environment that if I needed to I would place myself."

"Facility-wise, Harbour Manor & The Lodge was very clean and very nice. The rooms they got weren't as big as the rooms that I visited in the other two facilities, but they were still nice. The young lady did a nice job. Her name was Brooke, and I would rate her very high. She's very knowledgeable and very friendly. She toured me to the whole facility. She took me into one of the private rooms and showed me all the different things that they did. They also had a movie room and just about everything the other facilities had."

"I toured Grand Victorian of Zionsville East. My children live within 10 minutes of the place, and I'm very happy with the rooms. And I got a cat that I'm bringing with me there. The only thing I can't bring is my bird feeders, but that's okay because my son is an active bird feeder, so I'll give it to my son. And he is not that far from me, so I can go see him anytime I want. So I'm very pleased with this place. The staff answered everything. They've been very good to me. The size of the rooms is good. They're better than what I've got now. The upkeep of Grand Victorian is going better. It seems like everything looks good. I was really impressed with the facility. Everybody was friendly. Everybody was nice to me. I just felt wanted there. Regarding the food, I have kidney failure and heart failure, so there are a lot of things I'm not allowed to have, and I have to be very careful because it's landed me in the hospital a number of times. And Grand Victorian will offer me the diet that I'm allowed to have. I've seen the menu, and they serve a lot of chicken, a lot of fish, and a lot of salads. They serve a lot of the things that I'm allowed to have. The rooms are big. And that's good if you have an animal with you, and I got a cat. Everything looks good. I couldn't say anything bad about it. As for activities, they have activities, and they have trips that they take. They're active and I like to be active. I don't want to sit in my room all the time."

"American Village was nice, and the staff was nice and helpful. They helped a lot with the questions I had. From what I saw, the overall condition of the facility was good. It was clean. The rooms were nice. I liked that they cater to the needs of their residents, so that was good."

"My dad recently moved to Fort Harrison Assited Living. What I have noticed since my dad moved in, the staff is very caring, the food is phenomenal, and you can see in the staff work how much they care about the residents. The management team is compassionate, caring and you can also notice they love what they do as well. Every time my family and I come to visit the ED door is always open and she make sure we feel welcome. Julie the BOM we love her, she is always helpful and don't mind going that extra mile to help anyone. I appreciate and glad I made the right decision to move my loved one to FH."

"My brother is a resident of Independence Village of Fishers East. He is in memory care. We had a wine and canvas event. Jasmine, the new director, kind of orchestrated it. She had somebody come in and we painted, drank wine and shared feelings because it's hard to have your loved one in memory care and it was just an amazing event. Jasmine is such a delight and a wonderful person. We are so lucky to have her there. It's like one big neighborhood. It's like we're all one big family. They call the memory care The Neighborhood. When you go in there, it looks like a lake house. It is enchanting. Everybody has their own little front porch with a beautiful wicker chair and a turquoise cushion. It just makes it look like home. In the eating area and the living room area, it's more like a lake house. It has a big fireplace that you see through and a big TV for the residents and us if we want to watch TV with them. They have a beautiful walk area out in the back that they have wind chimes and different kinds of things. The residents can pick up a wand and play different kinds of bells. It's just beautiful. The space is super clean. The cleaning lady is wonderful. The rooms are small, but the whole idea is to encourage them to be out in the living area where they can be watched if they need any help. To me, it's a very fun area and we're very happy with that place. The staff is excellent. We got all new staff and they all seem to be working really hard to meet the common goal of let's take care of these patients to the best of our ability. The meals that they have for Easter and Mother's Day were spectacular. There is a movie area and a community center upstairs. On the fourth floor, they have a pool table. They have outdoor areas with beautiful porch furniture and umbrellas to protect the seniors from the sun. My brother is more higher functioning for memory. They take him out as many times as they can with the other seniors. He just went to the Indianapolis 500 and got to drive around to go to the museum. They do town halls all the time, so they hear from their residents."
