The Best Independent Living Communities in Boone County, IN

"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."

"My mother moved into Majestic Care of Carmel. They do a great job of securing the facility and taking care of the residents and keeping it clean. They're very caring there. When she has needs, they respond very well. The staff has been great. They're very responsive. When there's a particular need, they act immediately. They're wonderful. She only gets meal service on a very limited basis. She only gets it as she needs it. Most of the time, she's fixing her own meals in her room because she has a full kitchen. They do specific holiday gatherings and events, and games. They have had entertainers that come and perform. And so, they've been very pleased with the entertainers and with the activities."

"I toured Rose Senior Living at Carmel. It was very nice. The staff members were very friendly. The dining area was very nice, and the rooms were very nice. I saw regular kitchens. We looked at a two-bedroom, two-bath. Upkeep and maintenance of the facility were very good. It's a fairly new facility and very well taken care of. They had a really nice outdoor area up on the top of the building with grills and tables, and it was well maintained."

"Sunrise on Old Meridian was great. My mother will have a little one-bedroom there and she'd have someone reminding her to take her medication. It seemed like a good level of care for her and they have lots of social activities. We got to see the calendar for activities and it is very informative. It's a very impressive, beautiful facility. There's no odor. It was very clean, orderly, and beautiful inside. I met Julie and she was great. She was very patient. We got to see where they eat and there's a private dining room where you can reserve for family dinners. There's a snack area as well. The dining room was beautiful and spacious."

"Since the moment I stepped foot into this community, I have been pleased time and time again about how friendly and welcoming each and every staff member is to me and my mother who recently moved in. The rooms are so nice, the building is clean and comfortable and there are so many activities and outings to choose from that make it such a great place to live. I was nervous about my mother moving into a community like this but now I feel so much peace knowing how well my mom is being taken care of each day."

"I was very impressed with Harmony at Avon. That was number one on my list of the three that I visited. I was very impressed with the director. She's very empathetic. I really liked it. If my niece moved there, I was encouraged to come and have a meal with her and interact with other residents. The food smelled good. I actually know someone who is there and that person is very thrilled with it also. There were lots of activities that are offered, especially during the week. They go places, they have crochet groups, and they have all kinds of stuff. The staff was very good."

"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."

"Traditions at Reagan Park is absolutely beautiful. The staff was very helpful. The only drawback that makes them be number two is the location of the independent living. It's not as convenient for people to get to the dining room. It's absolutely the most beautiful one I've ever seen in my life, but it's because it's separate. It appears to me that it could be difficult in winter or bad weather for people to go to the dining room or to the activities."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"What I like about Meadow Brook Senior Living, first of all, is the community relations director, she's the person who interfaces with the public as they come in and with the family. The main reason I wanted that facility is that she was so helpful to me in explaining the process of getting somebody into a nursing home and what were the requirements. Also, they can stay in the facility and transition to Medicaid after two years of self-pay. There are a lot of other good things about the place. It was nice to look at. It looked comfortable and friendly. And it's not far away from where I live. The units are one bedroom with an attached bathroom. And, for a greater amount, you can get a larger room that has a little room for a sitting area. If you pay for smaller rooms, they're just about small enough for a twin bed, a chair, and a desk, and they're pretty small. The staff who toured me was so excellent both in interacting with me about my particular situation, which was a little bit complicated since my sister was living overseas, and in telling me what the steps were that I needed to achieve before I could get her admitted and encouraging me and telling me about this Medicaid option. Just this very personable person that I liked. I wanted to work with her."
