"The staff members at Beech Grove Meadows are great and a lot of them have been there for a really long time. They have a nice dining area with a patio for the residents. The surroundings are very attractive. They really have great activities for the residents. "

"We lived in a cottage at the Stratford for four years. Our cottage was lovely, homey, and met all of our needs. All aspects during our stay at the Stratford exceeded our expectations. The facilities are immaculate and amenities are first rate. When we ate in the dining room, the food was excellent as was the service. There are numerous events & activities for everyone to enjoy if they choose. The overall environment is relaxing and courteous. The management and staff are very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We would especially like to mention and thank in particular Sam, Grace, Christina, Heather, and Jackie. You can definitely tell they love what they do and they represent the Stratford well."

"The Barrington of Carmel was my favorite. It was fantastic. That’s the one I wanted them to move into. I worked in a hospital, and I had that kind of level of care in my mind. When we went there, they had a memory care unit and if my dad could be in assisted living or a regular unit. The, he could visit my mom as often as he wanted or have her out. They had outings for them. They were not just stuck in the memory care unit. The facility was beautiful; you could not ask for anything prettier. They had a gated community. So, if mom did get out and walk, she wouldn’t get away. There were trees all around the property. There was parking for my dad. It was not a covered parking, but he could have parking come and go if they had friends there. They had a lecture series where doctors came and gave talks. They even had people like Bobby Knight. In Indiana, he was a big name, and they would enjoy hearing that. Then, they had two different dining rooms. One was for assisted, and one was for the regular residents there, but they could go back and forth and borrow what they wanted. They could go to one or the other. They had a beautiful library. Everything was accessible for walking. They had an exercise room. They had a TV room. They said they do not have church services because they could not get any pastor to come there. So, I said, “Well, why don’t you have them do the internet church service?” They said like “Oh?!” They had a laundry service at the end of the hallway. So, they had to take their laundry down there or they could have it done for them. The rooms themselves were in adequate size. They had a nice view. There was a nursing station on every floor. It was centered right near the elevator where you could see on and off the floor and still had the care for my mom as needed. The presentation was beautiful. Every question was answered. I took my parents back over to see that one, and they really liked it too. "

"I visited Westminster North. It had everything. It had independent, assisted living, long-term care, and memory care. It was convenient for shopping and lots of things. I thought it was a well laid out and well planned community. They had washers and driers in their rooms in addition to the microwave and refrigerator. The staff was fine and very thoughtful. "

"I have visited this facility for over 40 years. It is always very clean. The staff are friendly and show genuine care for the residents. They offer anything from independent cottages, to full nursing home care. They do tend to be costly, but if you are a retired Methodist pastor they do provide cost reductions. "

"My mom stayed at Compass Park Indiana Masonic Home for two weeks. It was a good experience. She had adequate care. The staff was very nice. I kept in touch with them on a daily basis. My mom had a very nice room. It was practically new and very clean. They had a courtyard and a little bistro. The food was good."
