Independent Living Communities in Elkhart, IN

"Brentwood was the one I liked best of the three places I went to. They have some small residences, and 2-bedroom residences that are different from the others. They showed me the dining area, some areas where they have parties, and they described the activities they offer, and their transportation. The staff member took me around, showed me the facilities, followed up with some phone calls, and invited me to their functions. I think they're excellent. The food looked good and was well presented."

"Tanglewood Trace was one level all around. It's very nice. It had patios, grills, and all those kinds of things. Shawna toured us around and she was very nice, too. She was even going to give my sister a discount for two months. The food looked very good when we were going by it. They have two dining rooms. They have three meals a day and they have a breakfast bar that's always open with cereals, juices, and water that the residents on either side can get. They also have a beauty shop, card games, board games, libraries, and all kinds of stuff like that."

"Hubbard Hill was very nice. My father stayed here for a little while, and it’s very nice. He got really good care, and the place was very clean. They were efficient and helpful. They also had a physical therapy room. "

"I brought my father here to visit a friend and noticed how happy and at home all the residents were. The apartments there are bigger than what I expected, so beautifully updated too. While I was there, there was a holiday party going on for New Years and it was amazing to see how many staff there dressed up and helped out. Primrose knows how to throw a party and the residents always have something fun to do! My father has started to consider his options and we are surely heading back to Primrose."

"My parents moved into Greencroft Goshen. They have multiple levels of care. Since my parents are in independent living, they get their first choice if they have to move up to either assisted living or nursing care, so that was one of the main reasons we chose it. The area is very close to doctors and grocery stores. It is a very good area, and it is easy to get around. I've heard a lot of great reviews. The staff has been wonderful. My parents seem to like the food. They have a lot of activities."

"We live at The Village at Arborwood Senior Community. It's an independent living community and we've been here for about a year and a half. It's been a very positive experience. We're very pleased with it. They're very loving in the sense that they take good care of the people who are here. They're open to suggestions. We've enjoyed it. We're very positively oriented towards it. There's a library onsite. There's an activity sheet. At the beginning of each month, they publish a brochure consisting of about six to maybe ten pages with the activities that are planned for that month and a calendar of events so that if you want to see what's going on next week, it's easy enough to do and then they have buses that take you shopping if you wish to. They have different activities for people, both men and women. They've got bingo. The food is ala carte. You get a menu of different items at the beginning of the week, and then you select what you'd like. If you like to have a meal at that time, you can. If you don't want a meal, you don't do that. It works out pretty well. They'll have singers come in. It's a very positive experience for people who live here. I don't think I've ever run across anyone who has a bad word for it. Like every place, you probably can find room for improvement, but I don't have any problems at all. I'm sure most of the people here don't either. They're very positively oriented towards it. It's just a good community and it's a safe community. The staff members listen. They fix things if needed. They're very attentive to what you have to say. If you need help, they're there to give you help. They have people who come in, for example, they'll do your wash if you want and they maintain your area. They'll do whatever is required to make sure that you're comfortable. They have the pull cords in case you need help. There are a lot of activities that you can choose from, from card playing to bingo to bowling. They have Wii bowling and a ton of different activities. The value that you get here is exceptional for the money that you pay. We couldn't be happier. We're not rich, but at least we're not destitute either because of the monthly payments."
