Bloom at Kessler

Donella

My husband is a resident of Bloom at Kessler. He's doing pretty good. I like the attention the nurses give to him. I like the cleanliness of the facility and the activities that they provide. They go on different outings. They have bingo, drawing, coloring, and that kind of thing. They have three meals a day. As for the staff, it's mixed. I was satisfied with some of the staff and had problems with the other staff. We chose them because of the location, which was close to home.

Kesslerwood Place was excellent. The facility was warm, inviting, charming, and beautiful. The staff I spoke with was very caring, empathetic, and really went above and beyond to help me and help guide the situation. They were excellent. They have events, scheduled activities for residents, and social areas within the facility for social activities. They have a courtyard that's lovely and people could visit out there and spend time outdoors. It's secure. They require a code to exit, so I liked that feature. You know that they have an eye on your loved one, and also that they couldn't just wander off and be in danger. They provide whatever level of care is necessary. They have all the meals provided. The apartments are nice with a small kitchenette, bathroom, a room for the bedroom, and sitting area, which is all in one. They have a lovely wraparound porch. So, if people want to go out to the porch, it's a nice touch of the community.

We toured Kesslerwood Place. They had good amenities. They're a nice place, but it's just farther from our house up to the north side, and it's not an easy way to get there. The staff I met was great. They have a hair salon, a movie theater, and kitchens and kitchenettes up there that they could use. In terms of location though, there is nothing around it, but it looked clean when we walked through it.

Kesslerwood Place was a great facility, and it was clean. The staff was nice, and they have adequate staff. The rooms were a little small, but they were more than adequate for what was needed. The residents seemed that they enjoyed it there. I haven't tried the food, but everything was cooked in-house, nothing was brought in pre-prepared. The facility was super clean in there. In memory care, they have something planned every day for them from 10:30 in the morning till 6:00 at night. They can take part in any of the activities or all the activities. They have a big courtyard that's fenced, a coffee bar, and a greeting area where you can come visit your family, have coffee or tea, or whatever you want.

Kesslerwood Place in Indianapolis has accepted my husband. We have not moved in yet but they have all our paperwork. I met with the community relations manager and we had our grand tour of the facility. My husband already has a room assignment, they're just waiting on my surgery date so that I can give them a date when he can move in. He will be there for respite care, anywhere between 2 and 3 weeks. We already saw the room and it's a studio. They offer studios and 1-bedroom apartments there. They offer physical therapy there, which is a contractor that comes in. They have a bus and the activity director takes the residents on outings. If people want to go on their outings, they have an outing 1 to 2 times a week. They have a hair salon and a barbershop. They have formal dining in the dining room. All the residents come to the dining room and they order from the menu. They have a choice, an alternative if they didn't like what was on the main course. They have 3 big meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have activities, they have games like bingo, that type of thing. They have a library where you can use the computer. I haven't tasted any of the food but they do have a chef and the meals are prepared on-site. There are no meals that are brought in and heated up and served to the residents. They serve right there on-site and they go to the formal dining room. There are 3 floors to this building. They have a big wide, open porch that the residents have come out in the evening and sit out on the porch. It's a covered porch, and it curves around the building to the front. When you walk in, the receptionist will buzz you in. The main floor is assisted living, the second floor is memory care. My husband will be staying on the assisted living floor. The facility is gorgeous with beautiful French doors. There's a fireplace in the main lobby area for the patients and the residents can sit and watch the flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. They have popcorn in the evening, snacks while they sit there and watch TV. There's a beautiful winding staircase that goes up, there's an elevator around the corner, and there are adequate restrooms. The director of the nursing's office is up on the second floor. They have laundry once a week, it's included. They take you to the appointments as well. If they know ahead of time they will take you to appointments and will wait for you, but they cannot go in with you to the doctor's office or whatever appointment you're going to. The staff can't accommodate that but they can take you and drop you off and come back and give you a ride.

We visited Kesslerwood Place for my mom and I thought the rooms were small. They have mostly studios, except for very few one-bedrooms, but the studios that we saw were very small. The staff was very knowledgeable, and I think she worked for these places a long time. They had an active group at that time. They were watching a movie and they had a discussion. They might have a small library. It seemed pretty well. The place seemed adequate and newer than the other one we saw, but it was fairly small, with only two or three floors. It is built on a circular floor plan so everything seemed to be convenient.
