Independent Living Communities in Auburn, IN

"My husband is in Avalon Village Healthcare. It's excellent and the care is very good. He's thriving there. The staff has been very helpful, very courteous, and has gone overboard in a few cases. His room is small, but he has everything he needs. The food is pretty good, and they got him to start eating. He enjoys sing-alongs. They have a dining room, a therapy room, a common room, areas that have birds in them (which everybody loves), and a big sitting area. He's safe, they're taking care of his medical issues, their social workers and caseworkers have gone out of their way to help me get him on Medicaid, and get him the things he needs. They transport him to his medical appointments."

"We moved my parents into Smith Farms Manor. They have a 2-bedroom apartment. It’s very nice, very clean, and it has a little balcony. The facilities are well maintained and very pleasant. The staff is outstanding. "

"I had an in-person tour of Betz Senior Villas. The community did appeal to me. I would call it a duplex, like two houses connected. There are some nice walking paths that appealed to me. As far as the building itself, there's one bedroom and two bedrooms. I thought they were nicely laid out and not so small that I would feel claustrophobic. They all came with appliances, like a dishwasher, a stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a washer and dryer. Their rent is connected to your income. There is no staff, but there's somebody on the premises all the time. The person who showed me around simply manages the place. There's a nice little outdoor area with a small pond. They don't have empty units to let you tour. They just have a resident who agrees to allow people to tour her particular living unit."

"My brother was at Ascension Living Sacred Heart Village. I felt very sorry for them because he kept trying to get out and he was not in the locked down part at the time. They gave him good care. I liked the rooms very well and I liked this facility very much. It looked to me like they had just redone the rooms. They looked nice and they were in good shape. It was very pleasant. They had a special menu every day if you didn't want what was on the menu, and it was good food."

"My friends were residents of Towne House, and I liked their activities, food, staff, and location. The staff was very considerate and helpful. The facility was very clean and well-kept."

"We liked Arbor Glen. It's great across the board. It was excellent. The people that we talked to were very friendly. They seemed to meet all of the needs my brother would have had. The lady that took us on the tour answered all our questions. She was very helpful in letting us know what was available. We're very well pleased. There seemed to be quite a bit that he could've been able to do if he had stayed there. It's easy to access to everything. The cleanliness was perfect."

"Everything at Golden Years Homestead was positive. Everything was in one building. It included everything my mom would need as far as the utilities, food, and nurses on duty. One of the main things that we liked about this particular facility was that they also had a nursing home, and that's kind of one of her priorities. Once she does move, she has nursing home access if needed. And at Golden Years, you're a priority at the nursing home. So, that is very important to us. There was transportation available. There was a nurse on staff 24 hours. Church service was available, as well. There was a cafeteria available too."

"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."

"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. "

"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."

"My sister has moved into Heritage Park. I like the setting with the trails and the availability of the cafeteria and just the apartment itself was nice with the garage. The staff was very hospitable. I like the staff real well. From what I've seen so far, it's very clean and well taken care of."

"I think Saint Anne Home & Retirement Community is a very good place. The staff is very interested in getting to know my uncle and understanding what his needs are. We've been happy with them. He's got a nice little apartment, and it seems to meet what his needs are. Maintenance and upkeep have been really good too, as well as the food. They almost have a restaurant style dining. They come in with napkins on the table, and they try to make that a great experience. We've been pleased with that. The staff has been just terrific. They do what they say they're going to do, and that's been good. Also, it seems like every day he's doing something there. He's busy. I think from that perspective, they're doing a great job."

"The Yellow Retirement Communities is very clean. Everybody takes care of their little area. The community takes care of the snow plowing, mowing, and all the outside stuff. It's very nice. We found a 2-bedroom, one bathroom, and it's a little over 1100 square feet. The staff is very nice. They answered all the questions that we needed to be answered. They were forthright with telling us anything we needed to know or didn't know and how they took care of the water, the sewer, and the garbage. There is a washer and dryer in each apartment. They are all individual apartments. It's a regular apartment complex, but they are single-story homes. They've got one bedroom and two bedrooms with different floor plans. They don't offer any activities. If you just need to get into a smaller place, and you can still do everything you need to do, or at least most of everything you can do, it's the place to go in Fort Wayne. There are restaurants and shopping close by."
