Journey Senior Living at Merrillville was very nice. It was clean. The staffing was nice. I liked that it was one level. They were nice people. They have a library area, a beauty shop, and a barbershop. They have activities, and veterans are also welcome. It was one that was too expensive, and we really couldn't do that one. But it was nice, and it was a comfortable place. I would stay there if it was me. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable.

Journey Senior Living at Merrillville was a nice facility. They had activities to do for the residents. Everybody had their own separate room. It seems like they're a little more independent than what I'm looking for. My father-in-law can move and get around, but he doesn't do anything for himself. We have to take him to bath and everything. He can move and walk with his walker, but he's not attentive like that. I guess he has dementia.
The staff was real friendly, and she walked me around. Everything was really nice. It was a nice facility, but I think it was more for independent than dependent. They have a game room or a sitting room, where they all have things to do. All the rooms had TVs, and they all had access to the kitchen and everything. They had meals. The layout was really nice.

Hello, Journey Senior Living in Merrillville is a Residential Care Licensed community that is the home of both Assisted Living residents and those with Memory Care needs. All staff are trained to care for all levels of dependence and each resident is given an individual care plan to ensure their needs are met, regardless of level of care. This allows for the resident to have the ability to stay within the community as their needs increase. Journey Senior Living received the best of 2021 Senior Living Award. We encourage you to come back and partake in an activity with our residents and your loved one. Sincerely, Melissa Director of Operations

My husband is staying at Journey Senior Living at Merrillville. I've had a good experience there. The workers are very nice and they take very good care of my husband, so I'm satisfied with it. It's just that I knew he wouldn't be there that long. We were just waiting to get him into the veteran's home, and they were willing to take him, so I appreciate that very much. He's in a private room by himself, and they keep it very nice and clean. It's a nice environment. They have activities daily for them. I'm not there when they have the activities, so it's kind of hard for me to comment exactly what they do, but I know they get them up and get them busy every day. They have a barber shop and a courtyard. The staff is very friendly.

I toured the memory care unit of Journey Senior Living at Merrillville and it's a very nice facility. Really comfortable, clean, and very homelike. The people were nice and you could see that the residents were well cared for. They all looked great and they all seemed very happy. It was a very positive experience.
The rooms were also nice. They were spacious, bright, and the furniture was well appointed and it's got beautiful bathrooms. The staff was excellent too. They were very friendly and they just gave you a good feeling about the place in general.

My mom moved into Journey Senior Living at Merrillville. Meriam, the director, was very nice and said that she's not gonna leave my mother to just sit there in her room, that they would keep her active, keep her going, that she will be taken care of, that she won't be locked in a room, and she won't be just left there. I feel like a lot of these places they just leave them and they don't have a staff and nurse that could watch over them, but Meriam said that she'll make sure that my mom is good.
Meriam works with you with everything. Everybody else is more run like a business than they do personal care or memory care. It's smaller, but then it's nice and clean. Her staff, the doctors and nurses, kept me informed about everything, so they make it so easy for me. I had no problems with the company yet, which is good, everything I asked, they answered, and everything I need to know they got back to me. Everybody was asked different questions and they all gave me the right answers.
Meriam showed me a room and she said she painted and washed the floors and carpets. The whole area was clean and so nice. With the value, they're a little bit lower, but I didn't take them because they're lower, I took them because she can handle the care better than other ones can, and she will work with you with the price too.

My mother has moved into Journey Senior Living at Merrillville. So far, so good. I like the price and the facilities. The facilities are modern and nice. They seem to be well equipped. The dining area looks comfortable, clean, and well kept. The staff members are kind, friendly, and respectful. I have seen the food and it looked good.

My husband stayed at Journey Senior Living at Merrillville for three weeks. The staff was wonderful and went above and beyond. His room was nice and big. He did good there. The food was great, and the atmosphere was wonderful. It's really a great place. I saw some seniors participated in the activities.

Journey Senior Living at Merrillville was a very small facility. The staff was very friendly. The residents can go into the kitchen and have somebody get them something at almost any time. The rooms were very pretty, very clean, very small, and I liked the coziness. They also had a room for people who can't sleep and get agitated. They had a recliner in there with blanket to help comfort and calm people, and they had music and lights in there. Between affordability and what I think my husband would need, that would be what I would pick. They had Bingo and games. The facility was very new, and they had a very pretty lobby. The residents there seemed happy.

My husband is living at Journey Senior Living at Merrillville. I chose it because I wanted to be closer to him and I won't have to drive very far. It's very clean. We are happy with it. They take care of my husband. He is in a wheelchair, but he is doing good. There is a doctor that comes in, but he hasn't needed one. They serve three meals a day. There are few activities, but they are trying to get more.
Memory Care Reviews for Journey Senior Living at Merrillville
April 22, 2022
I visited this facility
Journey Senior Living at Merrillville was a smaller community. The whole community was memory care, so they weren't kind of locked into one wing, which was nice. It's not a locked wing, it's a locked building. They're not just in one little section, the whole building is designed for memory care. The appearance was fine. It's small and clean. They have a beauty salon.
The staff was informative and friendly, the whole bit. The dining area was well-lit and medium-sized. It was fine, it was noisy because it's right next to the interstate, so it's very loud. It felt like an institution.
