The Best Independent Living Communities in Hendricks County, IN

"We went to Meadow Lakes, and it was a nice place. The staff who accommodated us was very good. She was helpful in answering questions, brought up some things that we may not have even thought of. She was very good. I also like that their meal time was flexible. "

"The rooms are very nice and very modern, updated and the resident can make them feel like home. The staff is very nice and welcoming to the residents. The decor in all areas is beautiful, like being in a resort. They have so many different activities for the residents from crafts to card games, Bingo and outings. Very resident focused. "

"I was treated very well at Zionsville Meadows. I was given a tour. They were very friendly. They have detached housing units for independent-living. It was away from everything, but I really liked it. It has older units, but the units are larger. The community is quite attractive, and is laid out more like a housing community rather than an institutionalized building. "

"My parents liked Altenheim Senior Living very much, but there wasn't a unit available. They had individual homes, and duplex brick homes which was what my parents liked. The place was very clean and very bright. They also offer everything that my parents could use. Michael was the one who took us around, and he was very patient and helpful. The grounds and the layout were beautiful. It was on 32 acres of land and they had nice, paved walking paths."

"One of the reasons why I have chosen Grand Victorian of Greenwood for my friend is that we will be on the main floor if we get in. It's all been freshly painted and redecorated. Everything looks brand new even though the facility has been there a few years. Everyone that I spoke with was very kind and very informative. They answered all my questions without hesitation, and I liked that a lot. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly. I couldn't ask for any more help. She had gone above and beyond what regular help would be."

" Our experience with placing our mom in this assisted living facility has been wonderful! During the stressful time of indecision and inquiry when we knew a change was imperative to ensure Mom's safety, our family, upon visiting this facility, felt an immediate warmth and connection to the staff. The care and professionalism that has been exhibited since the move last April is absolutely exemplary!"

"My mom is here. I am really happy with the service that we are getting there. They are very caring people. It has been really a good experience so far. They have a library, a room for church services, and an activity center where people can do crafts, puzzles, and different projects that they want to do. The amenities are very nice. They have several dining rooms for different wings. The food is average. They are doing a good job and seem to be interested in helping the residents. "

"Astral at Franklin was beautiful. It's all brand new, it's all modern, and it's all up to date. It had a pretty courtyard. Residents also could transition to assisted living or memory care there. It was all very nice. However, I don't know if my parents could afford to go there. The staff we spoke with was awesome. I did not try their food, but they offered it, and it was all restaurant-style. They offered everything everybody else did and probably a tiny bit more. Everything was spotless, too."

"I recently looked at Hamilton Trace. I thought it was well-staffed. It had many activities. They seemed to be well-cared-for. As far as I can tell, the staff seemed to be knowledgeable. What I noticed was that they seemed to be very aware of what the responsibilities were with the other people that they were working with. They seemed to be organized. There was no confusion or that kind of thing. It was in an upscale and very safe area. It was easy to go to. It was right off a major interstate. If the people were out of town, it was accessible. The neighborhood was a very nice surrounding. I saw the activities list, and it was very similar to what I had seen at various other facilities as well. However, I cannot speak on the actual quality of the activities and how well they were run, but it looked like they had substantial offers in terms of the activities, and kept the people in the assisted area engaged in the community. At this point, based on the information that I had, I would probably make a recommendation for them to certainly look at it. I thought it was a very viable option. "

"During my visit to Northridge Gracious Retirement Living, I was shown some apartments. They were doing an open house before Christmas. I was not given a tour by the community sales rep, Kelsey, but she directed me to someone. I think he's on staff or he may be a resident, but I got a good tour. They had all kinds of areas where you can get together. They have a big library and a big theater. They had several different elevators to get you to different places. It's quite big. The newsletter said that they were going to have a New Year's party. They have been in the packet; I got a calendar of all of the activities. They have about eight or nine things every day going on. They have an exercise room, a theater, and a chapel, I like it very much. The thing was, I have just contacted them again by email asking for pricing, transportation, and whether they had first-floor rooms with an outside entrance for my puppy. I have a dog and I don't like to get her around other dogs, she stresses out. So, it's kind of important that I be able to get her in and out a door without going through the whole facility to get there. I didn't get answers about that yet. Kelsey was busy greeting people and directing people. So, she was kind of at the front, and not able to talk to anybody, really a lot. So that's why I've gone back and asked more questions."

"We visited Park Square Manor. They offered a tour bus to take into town and to doctor's appointments and places like that. The staff answered every question I asked them. "

"I toured Woodland Terrace of Danville. The best part was that I would get an apartment that nobody had ever lived in before. So, everything was brand new. It would make a difference in the cleanliness and the newness of the appliances and all that. I did not like the layout of the apartment though. The staff was super nice. It was super clean. I felt very much at home. I was going to go with them right away until I had a chance to go to the apartment I'd be living in and then I realized that it was a lot smaller. It was just too hard to figure out the placement of my furniture where it would go."

"I'm living at Broadstone Pointe Apartments. I've been here for less than one year now. I love my apartment. It's a two-bedroom. I use one bedroom for my office. It's not huge, but it's got a balcony, which I love. The staff members are not that interactive. They try to be helpful, but yet they don't do a whole lot. It's hands-off most of the time. They cut corners with maintenance, too. The elevator was down for about a week, and I live on the third floor, so everybody had to take the stairs. So that's my biggest problem. I noticed there were mouse droppings in the stairwell, too. I reported that and they cleaned that up. It's not there any longer, but there was a lot of it. If a resident had not mentioned it, they would not have cleaned it up. They have a pay washer and dryer on the first floor. I have access to that, but I didn't want to. I bought my own washer and dryer. I have a refrigerator and an electric stove. Everything's electric here. They have a garage, but right now it's full, and there's a waiting list to get on to the garage, and I'm on a waiting list for that. They have an exercise room, which is below average. It's got an old recumbent bike. It looks like it's been donated, and it doesn't work well. They have a treadmill and some weights. They have a library, which is stocked with donated things from previous residents. They have a computer station, but it never works, so that's pretty useless. They have a kitchen and dining area that if you want to use it, you're welcome to You just have to go in and tell them that you're going to be cooking down there. You have to reserve it, which is no problem. And once a month, a vendor will come in and we will have bingo. I like the location."
