Independent Living Communities in Avon, IN

"I'm living in Pinnacle West. I can't walk up and down steps because I would fall, and I can't get up then. The problem is I have a scooter and I can't use it because the elevator is out. It's been out for about a month. It worked for two days. Now they're telling me that it's gonna be another two-and-a-half to three months before it gets fixed. My problem is getting outdoors to do anything. There are four wings on the unit, with ten per wing. I'm on the second floor, and there's a third floor. The problem is that the rent is high for not getting outside and not getting to do anything. The only good thing is that I have Walmart, which brings the food to the door. I'm a loner, and I don't usually have friends, but here, everybody's nice. The people are great. I haven't met anybody that I dislike. Unless I need something, I don't see the staff. The only reason the last week that I've seen staff is because they come to take my garbage out. They come and get my key and go get my mail. They won't help me up and down steps because if I fell and got hurt, they'd be liable, but when you had groceries or something, they would bring them. Other than that, I have no problem with the staff. They're always good to me. They have a hairdresser, a hair salon, and a nurse's area, so if you get a cold or cut yourself, you can go in there rather than go to the hospital. They have weights and stuff for doing lifting and working out. It's pretty good. They have a staff that comes in and cleans. They do the hallways and the intake area when you first come in the door. They do a pretty good job. It's pretty busy here. They have bingo in the morning at 10:00, for just the tenants. Two or three times a week, they have bingo at the main hall with real money. They have special activities for different things. They have a bus that comes every day. It sometimes goes into town, to Wal-Mart, and uptown."

"My dad will move into Meadow Lakes, and I like that assisted living is separate from full-time living. It's very clean and roomy. He can go in and out as he pleases and walk the grounds. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a barber salon there and a doctor who came in. They have lots of activities, laundry facilities on site, and transportation to community events. It has a family-style dining area."

"My mom moved to Independence Village of Zionsville West. I liked the way the memory care was laid out. It seemed very approachable and comfortable, and it reminded me a lot of what my mom would like. Knowing her preferences, it felt right. I also connected, I think, with the director of memory care, and some of the people that I met, for some reason connected with them. They do an excellent job. It's very well kept, very clean, and tidy. I've been there twice now when they've cleaned her room. It's a lovely job. The facility is really beautiful. It just seems like a lot of care is going into keeping the surroundings safe and comfortable. So far, she's been very active. There's something to do every day or every afternoon. She can pick and choose what she wants. She's gone to karaoke. She's watched a comedy show. They've taken her to breakfast with the little group. They have a birthday party. They had a piano player/singer come in. She sat and watched that. They baked a kind of cookie one day. It's very active, and she gets to pick and choose what she feels like doing. So far, she's done all of those. I've eaten and I've been there when she had lunch and dinner a few times and she gobbles it down. She's a good eater, so I think there's plenty of choice for her, and she seems very pleased with having no problems adjusting to the food that they're offering. I've been very impressed with how caring they are and sweet, whether it's kind of a helper staff versus the directors. Everybody's been very approachable. They have been sending me pictures of her doing some fun things. They had dogs come in twice now. The director took pictures and I got pictures with Mom and dogs. I think they're staying very attentive to engage the families. So I'm very pleased with the staff. There are other places less expensive, and yet there are others more expensive, so I would say they're kind of in the middle-high."

"Zionsville Meadows was half a mile from my house and I liked it. It had the little independent houses and cottages and it's a real close walk to the activity center. Everything was nice and the price was right. It was a good choice. We also got the assisted living tour. The activities sounded very adequate, which the staff showed me, and I even met the activities person. It was an older facility, but adequate."

"King's Reserve College Park is OK, but for me, I wanted that spaciousness that the other place had. I liked it, but I didn't like the space. It was all about the space for me, and I wasn't getting the space that I wanted for myself. They were fine though. The staff was great."

"I did not tour there be cause they did not provide what I needed but they were very friendly and employees were laughing, They were honoring an employee in a very big way. She gave me suggestions where I could find what I need. If I was looking for their skills I would consider them."

"I toured Traditions at North Willow. The people are cordial. It was a nice visit. The staff was excellent. The rooms were nice. The upkeep was excellent."

"I toured Grand Victorian of Zionsville East. My children live within 10 minutes of the place, and I'm very happy with the rooms. And I got a cat that I'm bringing with me there. The only thing I can't bring is my bird feeders, but that's okay because my son is an active bird feeder, so I'll give it to my son. And he is not that far from me, so I can go see him anytime I want. So I'm very pleased with this place. The staff answered everything. They've been very good to me. The size of the rooms is good. They're better than what I've got now. The upkeep of Grand Victorian is going better. It seems like everything looks good. I was really impressed with the facility. Everybody was friendly. Everybody was nice to me. I just felt wanted there. Regarding the food, I have kidney failure and heart failure, so there are a lot of things I'm not allowed to have, and I have to be very careful because it's landed me in the hospital a number of times. And Grand Victorian will offer me the diet that I'm allowed to have. I've seen the menu, and they serve a lot of chicken, a lot of fish, and a lot of salads. They serve a lot of the things that I'm allowed to have. The rooms are big. And that's good if you have an animal with you, and I got a cat. Everything looks good. I couldn't say anything bad about it. As for activities, they have activities, and they have trips that they take. They're active and I like to be active. I don't want to sit in my room all the time."

"American Village was nice, and the staff was nice and helpful. They helped a lot with the questions I had. From what I saw, the overall condition of the facility was good. It was clean. The rooms were nice. I liked that they cater to the needs of their residents, so that was good."

"Altenheim Senior Living is a wonderful place. The staff is very attentive. Mom gets good food and good care. She has a nice studio and it's clean. The memory care facility where she's at is very secure."

"The Commons on Meridian is bright. It's not dark at all. They have good-sized rooms. They have a nice kitchen and bathroom area. The common areas are very nice too. They will do laundry for you or you can go to their resident laundry area if you like to do your own. They have a courtyard that's very nice. They offer respite care for a month minimum. The community was quiet, but they have a movie room for residents to go and watch movies together. They have an arts and crafts area. It was very nice. The dining room was not very nice, but everybody was very friendly. The sales director was very accommodating. The people that we met in the hallway all said hello, and so it seemed very friendly."

"I toured Traditions at Solana. Their price was competitive. It was very fair for a couple of other places that were of similar quality. So the pricing was very good. They were very willing to work with me on that. As soon as I walked into the building, I got this very homey kind of cozy vibe. It is a very comfortable feeling. The facility was very clean. All the staff I interacted with were very kind and polite, especially towards the residents because I got to take a peek behind the doors into memory care and see what all that looked like. I just liked the general attitude of the environment. The apartment looks nice. It was very well taken care of. It didn't look like a rundown or anything. It was very up-to-date and the safety features were all there when they needed to be and all that stuff. It was a very adequate facility."

"My mother is in The Forum at the Crossing. It is great. Everyone is very nice. The staff is great. They will drive you places that you want to go individually or you can go with the group. They will sit you at dinner at individual tables and move you around so you can meet new people. She is in a one-bedroom apartment with its own bath. They have a library and an exercise room."
