Senior Suites of Central Station

I toured Senior Suites of Central Station. The staff was nice, but I thought the apartments were small and kind of old and dated. The neighborhood was very nice, though. The place was clean, too. I was shown the laundry room and the community rooms. They said they offered food at one point, but people weren't taking advantage of it, so they stopped. The only activity I knew about was bingo, but I think they said they provided a shopping bus every week.

I liked the Senior Suites of Central Station very much. The shower is a big bonus. There's no bathtub. I've got a problem with a knee that doesn't bend all the way, so that was a big bonus. Also, there's parking in the back. I have a car, and there's no additional charge for parking. The manager of the place was very hospitable, very knowledgeable, and professional. She showed me the room and the amenities. There were laundry facilities on each floor and group rooms where people can meet with their families and watch some television. She showed me the parking, told me about the price, and took me to an available room that was open, so I could judge for myself if this would be something that would work for me. I was very happy with her and with the facilities. They have activities and they also have a bus that takes people to the grocery store, maybe once or twice a week. They also have an alarm button in the shower as well as the bedroom. It's like a security check. If you don't hit the button before 10:00 in the morning, they will call you. She says they'll call you twice and if you don't answer, then they come by to make sure you're not on the floor. I think that's smart. I like that. The rooms were a little small, but you get everything else. I like the security of the pull string that goes down to the floor, so if you're on the floor, you just have to do the military crawl to get to it. That's important for me. I've got neuropathy and I've got a problem with my knee, so it's a smart thing to do.

Senior Suites Central Station said they had all the amenities, the extra food, activities, and things like that. It was not true. They did not have one activity. I don't recommend that place. They have a lot of smoking people, and that's not what I wanted for my parents. I asked them if it was a non-smoking facility and they told me it was, but they can't seem to stop it. They let everybody smoke, and then people come in anytime they want. They're able to get through the door. They don't have security. Half the time when they were shut down, they didn't have any patio doors open, so the residents couldn't go out to get fresh air. They never answer the phone if you call. Yesterday, I called three times, and no one returned my call. I think they just need to have somebody who cares about what's happening. It just seems like there's nobody there. They don't have the managers on staff. So, when you go there, it's empty and anybody can walk in. The facility itself does not look bad, though.

My mother is a resident at Senior Suites. The quality has really gone down. They have not been able to retain staff. It's not a secured facility. It's right on 14th of Indiana where there's been a lot of traffic cones, and so it's a pretty vulnerable place in that regards for the elderly. When my mother first moved in, they used to have the pull cords. They used to check just to make sure that everyone was OK, and then there's none of that. It operates very much like an independent apartment building, as opposed to an actual senior community where there are community events, community building and care for the seniors. Since my mom has been there over time for six years, the administrative staff turned over four times.

Senior Suites of Central Station had nice studio apartments. The staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. The amenities were very nice. I liked the library and the TV area on the first floor. I also liked that therewas a laundry area.

The location of Senior Suites is good, and they have plenty of activities. They had lunch at the time we visited. They showed me the 1 bedroom, and it’s nice. The staff was very nice and cooperative. They have a common area where they have activity area and meeting room. They have a parking space too.
