The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Miami County, IN

"We went to see Five Star Residences of North Woods in Kokomo. I think that's where my dad will end up going, mostly because that's what he's going to be able to afford, and it's a really good place. They're really friendly, and they've been really helpful in answering questions. The person who gave us the tour went above and beyond trying to help us understand everything. She has given us a lot of information. Her name is Katrina, and she's done a great job. We were there, and she just kind of went over what the place provides, the cost of everything, the levels of care, and what we could expect while my dad is there. What we've seen is really great. There wasn't any odor; everything was great."

"My sister is in North Woods Village. It's a much older facility, but the people there are awesome, they have taken very good care of her. She's got lots of health problems since she's been there. She doesn't want to move anywhere else, and I know there are better facilities, because I've looked at them. She likes the people, she likes the nurses, and the higher ups in the facility are concerned and care about her. They do a good job and seem to care about the residents. I've been there a lot, I have never heard the residents complain about their treatment, and I've never observed any kind of abuse. I'm happy with the care they've given my sister. They could make some improvements in the facility as far as they have bathrooms with bathtubs that are never ever used, they need to remove the bathtubs and make those storage closets so that they can eliminate the two little, tiny storage closets they use and make more space for the residents."

"This is a beautiful community with friendly staff and large clean rooms. we visited this past week to seek a new place for my grandfather. everyone was so nice and helpful. we stayed for lunch in their large restaurant like dining room and the food was better then most restaurant in town. 10 out of 10 would recommend if seeking independent living."

"Our tour experience at Northwood Manor was great. The man that took me on the tour explained everything and pointed out things to me. He stopped to speak a little bit to some of the women who were sitting in the front room, then showed me three different apartments and pointed out the different things in each of them. I was able to speak to the lady who was in the hair salon and see the TV room where they have movie nights. The place was very clean. The units I saw were recently vacated, so two of them had new carpets and had a door that goes out into the patio. Everybody got either a MedicAlert on the wrist or one to wear around the neck. The man was very clear and very detailed about everything that is going on there. He gave me all these different brochures and papers that explain the process for payment and asked if there were any questions. My daughter was with me and asked a bunch of questions, and he was very patient and answered everything. He was very good. He was soft-spoken and he was perfect for that job. He even walked me to the exit."

"When it came time for mom to enter an assisted living facility, I chose Colonial Oaks Retirement Community. I will forever be glad that I did. Mom entered the facility at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I live 400 miles away. I was never worried about her. The staff was friendly, caring, helpful, attentive, and responsive to my requests. They treated mother as if she was their own mom. Mom received excellent care for the two years she was there. I have no hesitation in recommending Colonial Oaks."

"We toured Peabody Community. The staff was very friendly, very helpful and very welcoming. They had a little welcome sign for me and my family. It was so good that they were thinking of us and took the time to make an effort for us. The facility was very nice, big, and offered a lot of things. Besides assisted living, they had rehab or memory care or the nursing home all in the same complex. If my mother-in-law had to go into memory care and her husband could stay in the assisted living, they would be right there together, which would be very nice. "
