Assisted Living Communities in Richmond, IN

"Friends Fellowship was a very nice place but just too big and too ritzy. However, it would be our second choice. They have long-term care, assisted living, and independent living on five floors. We’ve been to two funerals there and know people who still live there, but Grandma didn’t want to live in such a big place. They provide everything, like trips out, cleaning, and laundry. It’s an excellent place. The staff was functional and polite. I'd rate it as a five because it’s a well-run business, but it’s not where we want Grandma to be. She did not feel comfortable even though one of her friends lives there. "

"My mother is at Vancrest Health Care Center. I'm not crazy about it, but she chose to go there because her old friends are there. The facility seems understaffed. The food is not good, and that's a complaint she has had since day one. Her apartment is quite nice, and the wing that she's on is fairly new. Some staff members are quite nice, but I'm not overly impressed, and it costs more. The assisted living side is nice, and the apartments are nice. It's kept clean and it's fine. It's okay. "

"We visited The Greenbriar because of the residents that they have and the types of program that they offer. The facility itself was very clean. It had no odor and, to me, that was important. Their rooms were average. Their dining area seemed very nice-looking. "

"We placed my mother in Brethren Retirement. The staff basically have to do everything for her. They feed her; she can't walk, and she can't do anything. The room is pretty good. The food is not too bad at all. "

"Dad moved to Autumn Trace in Connersville. We chose it because it's brand new and the view that he has from his room is nice. The rooms are spectacularly clean and roomy, and the staff is nice. They have several different sunrooms and TV rooms. They have a movie theater and a small gym. They also have a dining room where the residents or their families can go in and cook a meal and have a big get-together gathering. It's nice. I haven't eaten the food but I have spoken with my dad and several other residents, and they all say that they have amazing food and that the only thing that they don't like is that they give them too much food. So, they feel like they're wasting it. They've played cards and board games and watched movies together and things like that."

"The Knolls is a large complex with scenic grounds and a condominium-style layout. Mobile residents live in well-appointed housing with their own kitchens and living space and enjoy a degree of independence that does not exist in one-building elderly care facilities. I have visited a number of persons at this facility and they speak highly of the facilities, and the attention of the staff who visit them. Overall, for mobile retirees who merely require periodic assistance, the Knolls seems to be a fun, safe place to live with dignity and poise. Many special holiday functions, continuing education classes, and more are on offer.Individuals who require more constant medical care must live in or near the main building and for these guests the situation seems less ideal. The full-time-care staff is dedicated but small, and it is not uncommon to see elderly guests confined to wheelchairs simply left to wait in halls without company rather than be located to common areas or attended. This is a small matter, but to an elderly and infirm person extended time alone can be very taxing.Overall I would say the Knolls is an excellent place to live if you want independence but are no longer able enough to own your own home or live in a normal apartment. If you are totally dependent on others, the Knolls is still a good facility but does less to distinguish itself above other facilities specifically dedicated to intensive elderly care. "

"The one that my parents really liked the most was Brookhaven Retirement Community. They had a villa or a cottage with a garage and two bedrooms, which my parents liked a lot. Most places that we had looked at charged $500 for the extra person, this one only charged $50. I knew they offered apartments, but we weren't able to see them and I thought they would like to go back again, so they could see those. My parents are independent now, but they would want to have that graduated care as they need it. "

"Heritage Independent Apartments Union City needed a better entryway. I'm on a walker, and so it was very hard to get in. And the place is carpeted, which is very hard for someone on a walker. The lady who showed me around was very helpful. It was a nice place, but I don't want to live in Union City. It was a nice place, and it would be worthy of consideration. The rooms seemed to be very roomy, and there was a faint odor, which I noticed in a lot of places. However, if I wanted to live in Union City, that would be the place that I would probably go to. The lady that was there was very nice. The facility looked very nice, but I didn't like the showers. Just a slight step to get into a shower is dangerous. It ought to be a flat entryway. If I was to have a complaint, it would have been looking at the shower. I would have to be very careful. I am very careful at home when I take a shower because I get into a tub, and I know what it's like to have to step up, so that would be the only thing. The rooms looked very nice. The one that I looked at was big. It would accommodate me if I needed to go there."

"Everyone at Heritage House was very friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and they seemed to be patient focused. They have quite a variety of activities for the residents like craft and puzzles. "

"Glen Oaks Assisted Living at Forest Ridge is located on a wooded campus tucked on a hillside in New Castle, Indiana. It is part of two larger buildings within the medical complex. Forest Ridge Medical Pavilion and Lamberson/Malott Eye Center are the other two practices in the area. They are independent of GOALFR. The campus is wooded and picturesque with walking trails and a pond. Inside, the facility has an aviary at its northernmost entrance. The multistory building appears more a 4-star hotel with amenities than an assisted living facility. A fireplace with mantel and seating group greet visitors. Nearby is a central office, gift shop for residents, laundry, fine dining room and elevator. A tall staircase adds ambiance to the room. The amenities for residents include meals, programming, music, exercise, hairdresser and more. A piano is available which my Grandfather loved to play. Residents enjoy private rooms with housekeeping services and three home-cooked meals/day. A bus shuttles residents to shopping trips. My grandfather lived in this location , then known as the Woodlands, for seven years. Thank you. "

"My dad moved to Glen Oaks Health Campus. I like it because of where it's located. There are not many businesses around except for a church on the one side, but that's about it. They've got open spots, I can take him outside and they seem like they got their heads together. They've got therapy and then they've got bingo, a religious service on Sundays, and a game room. Then they've got a bunch of different TV rooms, so if you don't want to sit in your room, you can watch it down there. My dad has no teeth and they brought him something he couldn't chew. When I told them, they said I could just take it for myself and then I went and got him something else. The food was good. The facility is very nice, very clean, and very up to date."
