Really liked the "home" feel of Two Hearts. It doesn't feel at all like a facility or a hospital. It was hard at first having Nan away from home, but this made the transition much easier. Everyone is so friendly and caring. The owner was so kind and made sure ALL of our questions and concerns were handled. The staff is always helpful when we visit. Nan loves that she can have others to visit with and company any time but also have her own space. Its small enough that you still get that one on one care, but big enough that they have activities, assistance, meals, laundry, etc. Personally one of the things I liked the best was how much they do for holidays and birthdays. Nan always loved the holidays and decorated and we always did a lot! They do crafts and have treats and ... well I don't have to worry Nan feels alone. The staff at Two Hearts has really become a second family and I am very grateful for that!

Two Hearts Homes for Seniors was more of a house. It was small and home-like, and there were just 16 people there. When I toured it, the layout was very, very good. They're real friendly, homey, and they offer family-style home cooked meals. The owner answered all my questions and took me around on the tour, and I've called her since and she called right back, so that was great.
The room was fairly small, but it'll be fine. I don't expect my husband to be in his room much. He likes people and he'll be out in the main common area talking and watching TV. It's a twin bed and they provided the furniture, so I didn't have to go out and buy everything that he would need. They were just accommodating.
The location is good. It's half an hour from me and it's on the outskirts of Lowell, so it's a quick trip and I didn't even have to go into town. It's right on this side of Lowell. That is going to be an easy transport for me.

I had an in-person tour of Two Hearts Homes for Seniors. I liked the independent rooms. They were very spacious. I liked that everyone sat together for dinner. They have a menu, and you have your choice at dinner. In other words, not everybody eats the same thing. Some like it and those who don't like it. It's a choice that you're being given for dinner. The staff members were wonderful and seemed to help the people when asked. This is a small unit and not a 50-person unit, so there's not as many staff on hand, but they were very cooperative. They showed me the place, and they talked to my brother. I've taken my brother there, and they've taken him to both assisted living and memory care places. They had a woman that came in as far as giving haircuts or hairdressing. They have activities that they do. They have picnics and things like that outside on their patio and where they cook outside. I was very happy with the service there as far as explaining things.

I moved my 91-year-old mother into Two Hearts. Its the best decision I have ever made. Janel and her team have created a wonderful environment for people at this stage of their lives. I know that my mother receives far more attention and assistance at Two Hearts than she would in a large assisted-living facility. I have never been disappointed with the care she has received. The Two Hearts team works very hard to meet the individual needs and wants of each resident. And when there are issues with my mothers health, the management team is incredibly responsive in working toward a solution. I now have peace of mind knowing my mother is safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend Two Hearts Homes for Seniors to anyone who needs care for an aging loved one.

The Best place for my mom, now that she is ready to have someone else finally take care of her. Two Hearts, Home for Seniors in Lowell, Indiana, It is a beautiful inviting place. I have been searching for my mom and FINALLY FOUND THE BEST of the BEST! This home should be perfect for her, being on one level and with such a wonderful staff. I just realized that one of the owners is a nurse and truly understands all the needs of those living in this beautiful home. Their children even often visit, and they have a dog that is around often! Very much like living in her own home, only with a staff to make sure she is taken care of. The place is always clean and besides meals, the staff also bring snacks and drinks to the residents regularly. It is so nice that she will not have to do laundry, cook, (leave the stove on..) or clean and enjoys visiting with people whenever she feels like it. They have doctors, nurse practitioners and physical therapists that come to the home to give regular checkups. What a relief this place is. A true answer to our prayers finding this place, Two Hearts was the answer for us My Mom is looking forward to sitting outside in the fenced in porch and enjoying the sunset.

I really have only great things to say about Two Hearts, Home for Seniors in Lowell, Indiana. My mom moved into Two Hearts in October 2020 and has been doing so wonderful there. The home itself is much like a family home and since there’s only room for 16 residents, the one-on-one care is excellent. The place is always clean and besides meals, the staff also bring snacks and drinks to the residents regularly. My mom says that it’s so nice that she doesn’t have to do laundry or cook or clean and enjoys her tea and cookies in the evening after dinner.
They have doctors, nurse practioners and physical therapists that come to the home to give regular checkups and assessments so no arrangements are needed to drive the residents anywhere and we don’t have to worry about finding doctors and scheduling appointments. That’s very convenient. They also do alot of crafts and often display their art throughout the home or on their doors. Even the men enjoy making things as well. There’s a beautiful, fenced in backyard that the residents can sit outside on nice days and they can also play games. My mom says that she has fun doing that too.
One of the best parts of Two Hearts is that my mom and some of the residents say how everyone there is like family. My mom has even helped a couple of the newer residents get acclimated after they moved in and told them how great it is living there. The other residents are so pleasant too. My mom has a few friends that she sits with for her meals and talks with. They are always so kind to me and I enjoy visiting with them too. The staff encourage the residents to not always be in their rooms and ask them to participate in crafts and activities. It’s so nice to see how the Two Hearts staff truly care about the residents and are always willing to help with any questions or concerns that I might have. It’s obviously a hard decision to make about having a parent or loved one move from their home but I truly believe that Two Hearts IS the best place for my mom. She would never have this type of 24/7 care and socialization if she still lived at home or with someone else. A live-in caregiver cannot do all these things, plus my mom’s in a much safer and fulfilling environment.

Two Hearts is a beautiful, clean and friendly facility. The staff there are very compassionate and loving. You can tell the caring staff love their job by the way they care for their residents. They treat everyone like family. The care my father received at Two Hearts we could never provide 24 hour care at home. It is very comforting to know he’s in great hands. We were very pleased with Two Hearts. Feels like home! Very affordable ! We were very lucky to have my father at Two Hearts! The only regret is that I wish we would of have him there sooner.

The caregiver team at the Two Hearts has been amazing with my mom. They are attentive, caring, communicative and kind and I feel lucky to have found this home for my mom. They do an amazing job of knowing what each resident enjoys and trying to make sure they feel the best they can at all times. Janel is great about updating our family and making sure we know whats going on.

We recently toured Two Hearts and found the facility to be brand new. The size seemed right as well - not too large, not insanely large. The staff seemed kind and friendly as well. We're considering this home for our mother when the time is right.

Thank you for the kind words.
