Assisted Living Communities in Valparaiso, IN

"Majestic Care of Saint Anthony was very clean, very warm, and inviting. The staff that I met seemed very cheerful, knowledgeable, and engaged with the patients. They had activities. I saw the activity rooms. In terms of location, it was next to everything. It was centrally located."

"My dad moved into Brentwood at LaPorte a few months ago. They're very attentive to him. His room is very nice. They have good activities. They can do their laundry, they have a pool table. They have a garden outside, and they have computers for them, and a little library for them to read books if they want to. They have very good staff, very nice, and I wish they had a few more people."

"My grandmother moved to Two Hearts Homes for Seniors - Crown Point. It's a small community of only 15 bedrooms. The number of caregivers to residents ratio is awesome. The caregivers there make the food for the residents. It's got a big open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room, so they all eat together in that same room. They watch TV together. It's family-owned and operated. The owners have been great to work with. The administrative team has been great to work with. It's more of a home setting than a facility setting. It's just a family vibe. The staff is very outgoing and tends to go above and beyond. There's a small number of residents. So, they can take the time to get to know the people. It's very intimate. The facility is clean. The facility is brand new. They just sent me a picture of my grandma painting a coaster today. The whole building is in the shape of a U. At the bottom of the U is like the living room, the kitchen, and everything else. Then the branches of the U, the one bedroom, the large studio apartments, and they have a nice bathroom and nice-sized high ceilings."

"My mother's staying at Settlers Place. I am satisfied with it. The rooms and apartments are fine. The dining area and the food are very adequate. They take them to concerts and play bingo. They do a lot of things for them and have a garden and a small library room. The staff is very helpful and caring. It's clean there. "

"The tour at Residences at Deer Creek was very good. The community is very nice, clean, and seemed to be well run. It was quiet when we were there, and the employees and residents we interacted with seemed friendly. The staff member who showed us around was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a calendar of activities, we looked at the activity rooms, and the dining room we saw was open, clean, and felt comfortable."

"We recently toured Two Hearts and found the facility to be brand new. The size seemed right as well - not too large, not insanely large. The staff seemed kind and friendly as well. We're considering this home for our mother when the time is right. "

"My mom was here. The rooms were a lot bigger than the ones at another place we had visited. The facility was small and intimate. However, they didn’t accept Medicaid. They didn’t have as many activities, but it was a very nice place. I would definitely recommend them. They treated us well. "

"Pines Village had a more of a home feeling. They have gardens and pines, bus service and a small cafe. They have aging in place and whatever apartment they live in they can be independent residents and if they need assisted living they can stay in the same apartment. My aunt and uncle have a one-bedroom apartment with a patio, small kitchenette and a large handicap bathroom. They have PHBs that the residents wear and if they need help they can push the PHBs. They have aides, nurses and case managers 24 hrs a day. They have chef prepared food, outings to different places, theaters, casinos and they have church every Sunday. I can't say anything bad about Pines Village. "

"My mother moved into Avalon Springs Health Campus. I'm very happy with the place. The staff has been really nice. The food is very good. They give them good portion sizes and lots of vegetables. The food has a very good taste to it and smells awesome. They have stuff going on all day long. Somebody comes in and does their hair. They have a podiatrist that comes in, checks their feet, and does their toenails. They have everything. They have an in-house doctor. They have everything they need there. They have a courtyard. They have a small exercise area where they do group exercises. They have one of those reclining bicycles for them to exercise on. It's less expensive than the others I've seen. It is small, well decorated, and peaceful. It's definitely a good value."

"Green Oaks of Valparaiso was spotless, and the people there were friendly. I liked the staff I talked to. They were very nice. I talked to a few people, and then we ate there. They gave us lunch, and it was good. Really, really good. So I would rate this community very highly. The staff who gave the tour was really nice and very informative. The rooms are beautiful. There are mostly one-bedroom apartments and studios. They have no two-bedroom. It's a fairly new place. It's only a couple of years old. The facility is really nice."

"My dad was in Symphony Chesterton for rehabilitation, and it was very nice. He was in rehab, so his room was just a basic room, nothing fancy, but it was clean and nice. He had heart issues, so they have him walk and do things like that. There were just strengthening therapies. The staff was nice and cooperative. They did try to get him out of there as soon as possible, but I didn't feel he was quite ready to leave. They were good with activities. They had a nice dining room, they had a lot of extra activities for them to do, and they had get-togethers that you could attend if you wanted to."

"We went here. Everything was nice. We had no problem with it. It was all compact and very available. We liked it. It was very neat and clean. The staff members were very pleasant, very nice, and very informative."

"We toured Miller's Senior Living Community of Portage. That place was over and above excellent. The grounds were beautiful. The inside was very clean. They even had an ice cream parlor inside the place, it was nice. The room was beautiful. The staff who toured me was very nice, very approachable, and well-knowledgeable. The dining area was clean. Everything was impeccable there. I would have picked that place, but this other place was closer, and it was a little bit cheaper. They have bingo as an activity. They also have days when they take them out to do shopping and field trips."

"Sterling House is two floors. One is for the Alzheimer’s, upstairs, but it is called assisted living. I visited it, but they thought my wife was a flight risk. The rooms looked very nice, and the price probably could have been all right, but they didn’t think they could handle her. The staff was very good. They showed me around, and it was clean, and everything looked good. "
