My aunt has signed in for Aster Place. It was clean. They were excited that they had a new resident that was interested in moving in. The rooms were clean and spacious. They seemed to have the activities that my aunt was interested in. They have a great exercise area, a little library, and activities that will help her with socialization. They have a variety of rooms. They have studios, large studios, deluxe studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and garden homes. The staff who accommodated us were inviting and encouraging.

When it's time for my mother-in-law to move, she'll be going to Aster Place. That's what we have picked out of the few we looked at. The facility was just very nice. We already know one of the residents there as well, so that was helpful in making that decision. It's an old family friend, so it was kind of nice. The facility was just beautiful, and the activities were really nice. The facilities were very beautiful, and they were decorated nicely. They had really good food options. The menu was nice. The activity areas and the common areas were very nice. The staff did a really good job with the tour and explaining things. We just really like it.

I did a tour of Aster Place in Lafayette; I like them, but my mom needed a higher level of care than what they provided. Their rooms were so nice. They have a church that comes in and does hymnal songs or gospel songs once a week. They also have a beautiful gazebo and garden, and the rooms have a window that looks out onto them. They have activities daily that are based on senior developmental needs.
The staff was very attentive. I was able to watch an activity with the residents. The staff member was reading this story, and then afterward she was serving dessert to them. Then another staff member, later on, I was able to watch her interact with one of the residents, and it was so sweet.

We visited Aster Place. It was a very nice, great place. They also had a memory care unit. They start out with assisted living and analyze whether the client needs a different type of care. The staff was very nice. We had a good tour and the staff answered all our questions. They have everything. They have a chef and you can eat anytime of the day you want. They also have a movie theater, a bistro, a really nice cafeteria, and they have an exercise gym.

So far, I'm happy with Aster Place. My mother seems happy with the staff. There's plenty of room, and she's comfortable with everything that we've brought in. They have quite a bit of amenities, but she's still under quarantine because she just moved in. The meals are OK. She's not thrilled about it at this point, but everything is being delivered to her room, and she can't go to the cafeteria.

Aster Place was very nice, clean, big, and friendly. The food looked okay, and the dining room was nice. The rooms were pretty good sized. They had a recreation room and a weight room.

Aster Place's staff was really friendly and the people were great. I like that you could come and go if you want to, and I like the freedom. They have an exercise room, board games, Bingo nights, and card night, which would be good for the social aspect.

I visited the Aster Place. The rooms are a nice size, with lots of space, and lots of areas where you can be away from everybody. They have internet availability, a library, and easy access to the hospital or doctors' offices.

The nurses aids are over worked and have a hard time keeping up. This reduces the care for those who need it most. If you want a true account of what goes on you need to speak to the residents who live there. I'm sure it's hard to keep staff up to full strength due to the demand of needing people nation wide. However this is no excuse for residents to have needed medication not given to them in a timely manner. $5,000.00 (approximate) is a lot of money. Per month.
Provider Response
Since the 2-star review from August 2017, there has been a change in leadership at Aster Place. The community takes each concern it receives seriously and has taken all measures to address these concerns. According to the Indiana State Regulations for Residential Care Facilities, “A minimum of one wake person, with current CPR and first aid certificates, shall be on site at all times. If fifty (50) or more residents of the facility regularly receive residential nursing services or administration of medication, or both, at least one (1) nursing staff person shall be on site at all times. Residential facilities with over one hundred (100) residents regularly receiving residential nursing services or administration of medication, or both, shall have at least one (1) additional nursing staff person awake on duty at all times for every additional fifty (50) residents. Aster Place staffs in accordance and above state guidelines with an average of one nursing staff per every 12 residents. Aster Place conducted a brief survey with a sampling of (10) residents. These residents had no concerns with the staffing pattern and felt that they received adequate care and medications were dispensed in a timely manner. Please find below so direct quotes from residents during the survey: “The nursing staff always does a great job and I never have concerns. They are always kind and ensure that they bring me my medications on time.” “The staff here do everything for me. I believe that there are enough staff here to meet all of my needs. I have never not received my medications.” Aster Place continues to encourage resident and family feedback and has partnered with NRC to collect on going data for current residents, admissions, and resident who no longer reside at the community.

My parents are about to move into Aster Place in a couple of weeks. It is a very nice place, and everyone there is really nice and welcoming. They try to make you feel at home, and they have just gone out of their way to do whatever they needed to make mom and dad feel like they are going to be comfortable there. The residents seem to be happy and excited any time I’ve ever been in there to visit. We’ve just gotten a really good positive feedback. I have eaten there several times, and the food is fantastic. They’ve got a really nice facility. It is very clean, it smells fresh and clean, and the whole time I’ve been in there, I have never once smelled a sense of odor anywhere in it. Mom and dad are getting a room that has an outside entrance to it, so if they want to go outside they can. The only problem that I see in terms of outside activity is that right outside their front door, there is only like a 4 x 4 square piece of concrete, and if they want to put a chair or something out there, then there is no way to walk to a sidewalk from out there. So they’ve got an outside exit, but they both have walkers, so you can’t walk out to an outside sidewalk. And I saw that in all the places that I went to, it wasn’t just Aster Place. The other thing too is that if you are in an outside area, every place where there are chairs sitting outside is rocks and stuff. It makes it difficult for anyone who needs a little bit of assistance walking and kind of makes it dangerous. Again, that was not just Aster Place; every place was like that. The places for people to walk outside, there just wasn’t a really safe place for them to go. I would recommend it, and I have already.

Aster Place was newer, very enjoyable, and pleasant. The dining room was beautiful, large, and spacious. The food looked good. The rooms and living quarters were small.

Aster Place was lovely and very nice. It's brand-new, so the apartments were very nice and spacious. Everybody seemed very caring and seemed like they knew everybody's name. It felt like home. We ordered dinner, and it was all very good. They made their own breads and desserts, had a library, daily activities, and a whirlpool bath, but no pool.

At Aster Place, the rooms were small but adequate. The facility is brand new, so everything is clean. They have kitchenettes with refrigerators and sinks, which was very nice. They had a lot of storage, which was very nice. The thing that I really liked was that they have a common area. The nurses' station is centrally located where the dining room is with a gathering area right beside it. I thought that was very nice and liked that setup.
Independent Living Reviews for Aster Place
December 10, 2021
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
We visited Aster Place. We toured it for independent living. We visited three different units: Two that was on a cross street, and one that was actually in the Aster Place facility. Two were older builds and one was a new build. We felt like the new build was a little bit cheap. The older build seemed to be a little bit built nicer and there wasn't anything wrong with that. My husband is a large man, and I just felt like that he might not have enough room in them for like a bigger chair or bigger table, things like that. They were combined with another level of care. You could graduate and go to another level. The two that were separate were together in one continuous building like duplexes, but they were one continuous thing.
They had lots of amenities and lots of activities. We didn't think anything was wrong with that. One of the units had a bathtub, and we felt like that was a strange thing to have in a unit that was geared for people that were elderly. We've eaten meals there, and they were very good. We know someone that lives there. They have an apartment and a car, but they eat their meals there and things like that. We were pretty much impressed with the price. It was less than what we thought it might be.

We chose Aster Place because of the facility, condition, and offering as far as care, dining facilities, and so on. Maintenance has been responsive. Living space is fine, new utilities, new appliances. The staff has all been very responsive to my request and needs, very accommodating, very personable, and professional. I'm using the dining facility and I am preparing food as well. I go three times a week to the fitness center where there's a personnel on-staff trained to work with people with Parkinson's. Facilities like this are more expensive than they should be. I suppose if it was assisted living it would be a different story, but independent living, it seems a bit pricy for our individual needs.

I toured Aster Place and it's a little newer place. It seems a little larger too and some units had a garage. They also have a fitness center that not all the other facilities have. They were very welcoming and everyone was very pleasant. You walked past people in the hallway and they all spoke to you. It was a very friendly place.

We visited Aster Place and it was wonderful. We liked the place that we saw, the one that we're going to move into. The lady we dealt with was very nice and very knowledgeable. The menu looked good. What we saw was very nice and clean. We saw the room where we had our meeting, and then the lobby and the place that we are going to get. The room was okay; it was a 2-bedroom, 2-bathrooms. I know they have a lot of extracurricular stuff to do.

We went to Aster Place. The tour went well, and they had covid restrictions in place. They have covid restrictions in the dining room, they're now like, bringing patients back in where they're dining together some what, and doing some activities still. She gave us lots of information on the other facilities as well, she gave us information on how to do Medicaid waiver on other facilities in the Lafayette area also.

I chose Aster Place because it had everything I wanted, the services I was looking for, and I liked the looks of the place. I liked the price, the option to eat there or not to eat, and transportation to doctors' appointments. It's fairly close to where I am now.

I have not moved to Aster Place yet, but the people were very friendly. I ate lunch there, and the food was delicious. The servers were nice. The residents were very positive about everything and very nice. Everything looked so clean and nice. It looked like a nice place to live. I probably would not participate in most of the activities, but I do a lot of cross stitching. I liked that they had a table with puzzles. They were very pet friendly, and I have three cats. They had bingo, a theater, and a nice library.

We placed my mother-in-law at Aster Place because they provide 24-hour nursing care. The people were absolutely phenomenal. The food is like fine dining; they sit down in linens. They have very good food. It’s very upper class, and you have to have money to live there. They keep her busy, and she is very happy. She loves to play bingo and Uker. Overall, they have a lot of activities offered. I would highly recommend them to others.

We're going to place my father in Aster Place. They have both independent and assisted living. I thought the staff was very competent, and they seem to be caring. The director of nursing was very helpful. They had a lot of structured activities, and there were a lot of great, positive things about them. They seemed to excel. They had a support group for dementia. Their prices were very good. They didn't have several tiers of pricing. They also offered to help pay for our expenses of moving my father from Pennsylvania to Indiana. They did not allow pets in the memory care unit.

My friend moved into Aster Place. The two big considerations were that it met her budget, and she wanted to bring her dogs. It was nice, clean, and very new. She has an independent little apartment off to the side of the main building, and she walks across the street to eat. She didn't want to go inside the big building nor be in a nursing home type environment. The staff is very nice. The day we moved in, they were there several times making sure everything was OK. They knew that she couldn't see well, so they made adjustments and did a lot of things that weren't asked of them. She told me she is going to some mild exercises. They have a beauty shop and a little room with a popcorn maker and movies. It's new, and they're going to be housing people that need the type of facility like a nursing home.

Memory Care Reviews for Aster Place
June 14, 2019
I visited this facility
Aster Place was very nice, but we want a place where eventually my mother could go on Medicaid if she has to. They didn't take me into any rooms, they just showed me sketches of them instead. The dining area was very nice. It was very clean and very neat. The place was impressive, but it wasn't the right place for my mom. At the time, the residents were just sitting there watching TV, so I don't know what kind of care they're getting.
Questions about Aster Place
Who assesses residents' health and cognitive functioning? How often is that assessment repeated?

What techniques does Aster Place use to support memory care residents during mealtimes?
Aster Place uses nationally recognized strategies to meet people where they are on their dementia journeys.
