Independent Living Communities in Plainfield, IN

"My sister moved into The Oaks of Plainfield. We chose it because my husband has an aunt who lives there, and my sister was already familiar with the area as well. That was a good place for her to be. I've not had communication with the staff. Every time we've been there, we've been there to visit our aunt, and she's the one who gave us a tour. I think everything just seemed organized and clean, and it has a very pleasant atmosphere. Meals were prepared. They get three meals a day plus snacks."

"I will be moving into Encore Boutique 55+ Apartments - Plainfield. It's limited to people that are 55 years and older. It is a new facility that opened up in October or November last year, and they were still filling the vacant apartments that they still had and I was able to get one of those. The place is very nice and new, and there are a lot of amenities that I liked. There are lounges on all four levels of the apartment complex. There is a fireplace and lounge area in the main lobby. There is a gym facility with machines that people can utilize for exercise. Entry into the buildings is controlled by a fob that allows the tenants to open the doors, which are locked all day long, and the only people that have those fobs can enter the building. They told me that if there were ever to be a need for me to have any kind of assistance from a company that would provide that, like somebody come into my apartment on a weekly basis and help me with medications or something like that, that they had some contractors already available in case I needed them. If I need to have assistance with housecleaning or laundry, they have people available that I could hire for that also. Right now, I don't need any of that. I'm pretty much on my own and I love it that way. I have a one-bedroom, and it's almost as big as the two-bedroom apartment that I'm currently living in. It's very nice and wide open. I couldn't have picked a better place. They offered me a deal where if I signed a two-year lease, they would buy out the end of my lease at the place where I'm at. The staff is very friendly. They told me that if I needed any help when I move in to have some curtain rods installed on the windows, the maintenance people would be glad to come and do that for me. It's brand new, so there's not a whole lot you can complain about. They have a really good maintenance staff. They're friendly and they're willing to do anything you ask them to do because they all have the attitude that it's a new community in Plainfield and they want to put their best foot forward and the object to them is to make the tenants as happy as they can to make it more of a close-knit community for everybody to enjoy one another. They do not have a dining area. Being a community for people that don't have to rely on other people to cook their meals or eat meals in, they don't offer that. I think that's why they have four lounges, one on each floor, plus the main floor, there's an area where people can sit. They have a bar and some tables where people can sit and communicate with one another, but they also have a refrigerator where they have a beer and wine for the tenants. Anytime they want to sit down there and talk with one another and just sit around and enjoy each other's company, they can also enjoy something to drink. They have snacks every once in a while. There's a lounge on each floor and the second floor is a mini-theater where there's a big-screen TV that's about 6 feet wide. They got 12 to 15 theater seats in there, and you can go in there and stream Amazon Prime or any of the movie channels, stuff over the internet, and view those movies on that big screen TV in that theater on the second floor. I can't wait to get over there at the end of the month to be around people that are my own age, people that I feel more at ease with than the people in the community that I'm living in right now. I'm glad I'm moving into a 55+ community. They're all friendly. They're willing to do whatever it takes to make you happy and to make you feel comfortable in the community. It's so new, but you see maintenance people around there, running the vacuum and keeping the wood floors cleaned and waxed up. The facility is beautiful. They do a great job of keeping it up. When I saw Encore 55+, I said there's no sense in looking anywhere else. I'm completely happy with that place."

"My husband andI have lived here about a month and love it. We live in the garden home and love the space. The rooms are spacious and so are the kitchen cabinets (my favorite). The garage has no step to get into the hallway. It’s all flat. The staff have been very helpful and will work with you. Exercise room, beauty shop, and dining room available. If you want a place to live that is beautiful and peaceful this is the place to be."

"My brother moved into Meadow Lakes. They have a very nice setup. I like the apartment, and the food quality is really good. His apartment has an outdoor-facing window, and the size is very nice. He has plenty of room, even though it's a studio apartment. He has a nice little food area where he has a microwave, a refrigerator, and a sink. The staff is wonderful. They keep me up to date on his needs or wants. They help him every day to move in and feel comfortable. They have games available. They have little seminars on finances and things for families and residents. They have a physical fitness area that they can use. They have laundry that they can use at any time. They watch television together. They go to the movies, they go to outings, they go to restaurants on a bus, and they go shopping once a week via the bus. They get people to doctor's appointments if they need assistance getting there, and they have a doctor also there in the building. But I'd like to see more activities."

"We had a great visit to Traditions at Reagan Park. It was fabulous and beautiful. It's a little pricey, but they had great amenities and we loved it. The people were wonderful, caring, and very personable. They talked to everyone, were very helpful, and answered all the questions that we had. We noticed that the residents seemed to be very happy as well. The facility was clean and very well decorated. The atmosphere was very inviting and they had a lot of activities and things for the residents to do. I highly recommend it if you can afford it."

"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."
