The Best Independent Living Communities in Allen County, IN

"I will be moving into Heritage Park Assisted Living & Garden Homes. It's very convenient, friendly, and welcoming. The staff was very kind, courteous, and helpful. Utilities are paid for. They had a lovely dining room and a chapel. The area around it was light and there were lots of trees and hopefully birds. The dining area was very nice and looked welcoming and clean. Everything about it was good and it was clean."

"I went to Heritage Park. It was clean. They had a lot of activities for the residents. I have a friend whose husband is there now, and she is having some problems with clothing disappearing. The staff was less helpful, and I wasn't impressed with the food."

"The people at Arbor Glen seem a little more friendly. We met some real nice staff. The dining room is laid out very nice, and we liked it. Although maybe they could have a system to remind people it's meal time. But it's very nice. I would have lived there myself. "

"Towne House was very nice and had lots of activities, but it was expensive. The apartment was clean, and the staff was very friendly and very helpful. They had a room where you could exercise on the treadmill and a place where you could buy snacks. They had car ports, which you could add on to the cost of your place."

"Georgetown Apartments was a very nice place. You have to be totally capable of doing everything. They provide meals, recreation, and a room and help in keeping it clean. It's totally senior help. I only met one person there, and she's very friendly and knowledgeable. I have friends living there. It fits their needs and they love it. It's very good. "

"My friend is in the Golden Years Homestead. I have talked to some residents. There are a couple that I have known for several years, who just moved their homes in the last few months. The outside is definitely a five. It's very, very nice with lots of trees around it. It has nice shade as well. It's one of those places that you look at and you say, oh, just relax and enjoy. The people I know there have said they haven't found a place more friendly than it, and the staff is great. They were very pleased that they found the place. The activities were much more to their liking, and they enjoyed them. They were well pleased. I can only say that they're very clean, and they have excellent cleaning staff. They didn't have anything bad at all to say about them. I found the staff to be very helpful and always see them with a smile on their face. When you ask them a question, they know the answer. They are very helpful, very engaging, and very honest."

"I really liked this place and I'd definitely consider it. But it is not on right side of town for me. staff were nice and knowledgeable. "

"The staff who gave me the tour of Coventry Meadows was very attentive and listened to my needs. She showed me one of the model apartments and it looked very nice. It had a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom. It seemed this facility offered all the amenities that we would need. They had transportation to doctor's appointments, and I saw a dining room."

"I'm going to Quail Ridge Villas. I went there last year, and I was there again today. I liked the complete setup; it's very new and very nicely decorated. They have a lot of amenities. I can use the swimming pool and recreation equipment, I can have my own garden, and it's the kind of community where I like to be. It's out in the country and it's what I'm used to, and that's very important to me. They have different kinds of living arrangements, all independent. Some of them are villas and some are separate, two-bedroom apartments with an attached garage. They have a high-rise, senior-living complex, they have two-to-three-bedroom homes that you can rent, and it's all laid out in a beautiful place."

"My father has lived at Sacred Heart for about 2 months. The staff goes above and beyond to take care of its residents. I sleep much easier at night knowing he's in a safe and caring environment. "

"The resident rooms are spacious, very nice wall & carpet colors. The whole facility is well maintained, new & tastefully decorated for a comfortable environment. The staff are qualified, friendly & helpful. Residents have art class & bingo, church services & other games, more activities are coming & monthly fun themes that are celebrated. The residents are well cared for, hospice is allowed, it is a safe serene environment. My dad received hospice care thru a separate organization that came in. Caregivers are very compassionate & knowledgeable. The Director helps with any concerns we have & resolves them."

"We were very pleased with Betz Senior Villas. It's a little on the small side as to what I expected. The price is reasonable, and it's a nice, quiet little community. It's rather small, the whole community. They're duplexes with garages. The dining area, kitchen, and living room are kind of one long room, with kitchen being at the one far end and living room at the entry. It could be furnished, you can enlarge the living room or enlarge the dining area, whichever is preferred. It's a relatively small area, but it's doable. We definitely want to downsize from where we're at anyway. There's no food provided; this is totally independent living for me. The staff who gave me the tour, she was very pleasant. There's a walking path that goes into a wooded area, and there's a small pond with a gazebo and a nice, cemented walking path that leads into that area. There was no staff for care or for serving food. It's just the staff would be doing the maintenance outdoors and indoors, and the woman who gave us a tour."

"We've moved my father to River Terrace. So far, he's been really good. He has only been there five days. The main thing why we chose it was because they do a Medicaid assistance program. Everybody we talked to said it was a good facility. The people are very nice, helpful, and any questions we've had were answered. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. I was a little surprised on how small they were, but other than that, it was fine. They have activities, workout room, and outings on buses. Aesthetically, it is beautiful, and it has a nice setting. The rooms and the dining area are beautiful. "
