Assisted Living Communities in Michigan City, IN

"My mother has moved into Rittenhouse Village. It's been very nice. She has been very happy there. The rooms are very nice and very comfortable. My mother is very happy with the staff members. She said they all know her by name for the short time she has been there. The dining is restaurant-style. There are people who individually wait on the tables. They have bingo, exercise classes, and field trips to the store. They have a library, too. My mother hasn't attended too many activities, but they offer everything."

"The rooms are clean and good size. The staff is great. Very friendly and helpful. The staff is very attentive. There are rooms with great views. There are a lot of social opportunities."

"My sister is at Trail Creek Place. It's very good. It's very clean. The staff is caring and conscientious. They know all the residents, take care of them, and they're very communicative. I very much like the place. They have entertainment. They do quizzes and games in a group setting. They do art. They do light calisthenics. There's a wide variety of activities."

"We have visited Silver Birch of Michigan City. It was very clean, there were a lot of activities for the people there, and it seemed like they had a very good meal plan. The rooms are very spacious. We only spoke with one staff member, we didn't interact with very many. They have bingo, they also have a puzzle room, billiards, and they have some ladies there who put together a weekly fun night for the girls."

"The apartments are very spacious. My loved one is able to retain their independence but have have services that help make their life easier so there’s more time to enjoy activities and friends. The food is amazing and the staff is wonderful. I definitely recommend Oak Woods Manor to anyone looking for Independent Senior Living with some assistance available."

"Symphony Chesterton did not smell. Everything's nicely furnished. It's an uplifting place. The staff was very nice and kind of just went above and beyond. I had four small children and they went with me to visit my dad every day when he was there. So, we got to know the staff and they just treated us nicely. They were nice to my kids, too. They gave them tours of different areas of the establishment, including the kitchen. They showed them how they prepare the food. They had a movie theater room that we went in and visited often. The menu looked good. There are a lot of different options and different choices each day. They played poker, they had paintings, and people came to do music or dance. For St Patrick's Day, they had a lady dressed as a leprechaun and visiting all the rooms, giving out candies."

"I toured Pines Village Retirement Communities. It was a lovely experience. There's even people there we know because we live here. There's two levels which if my husband was in a wheelchair, I wouldn't like him going on the second floor. So, that was not a plus for my thinking, but they had a really nice exercise room, I thought. They had where you could go have breakfast and you come at your own time. They gave you one meal a day it included, so you could do breakfast, you could do supper, you could take it to your room. Another thing that the other place didn't have which was good is they had a wellness button. So, before you go to bed, you press that button so everybody knows you're in your room and okay. Then in the morning, you press the button. If the button isn't pressed, they give you a call to make sure you're okay which I thought was very nice. The disadvantage compared to the other facility was, there was no washer and dryer in your room. I mean, they did your linen and they did your bedding, but your regular clothes, you have to go down the hall to a community washer and dryer room. The staff was nice. The upkeep and maintenance was very good."

"My mother moved into Avalon Springs Health Campus. I'm very happy with the place. The staff has been really nice. The food is very good. They give them good portion sizes and lots of vegetables. The food has a very good taste to it and smells awesome. They have stuff going on all day long. Somebody comes in and does their hair. They have a podiatrist that comes in, checks their feet, and does their toenails. They have everything. They have an in-house doctor. They have everything they need there. They have a courtyard. They have a small exercise area where they do group exercises. They have one of those reclining bicycles for them to exercise on. It's less expensive than the others I've seen. It is small, well decorated, and peaceful. It's definitely a good value."

"My parents are residents of Aviva Valparaiso. Most of the staff was very nice. I ate there. They have lots of choices of food. The food is good. The facility, it's nice and clean. It's pretty much updated. They have all kinds of activities. It is a lot of money, but you're getting a lot of stuff. It had a nice atmosphere. My mother has Alzheimer's. So if she progresses, she can still be in the same building but be in the memory unit, which is right there. So we don't have to move her."

"It started off great, and it ended in a nightmare! FYI, this place does NOT accept any income OVER $40K annually. We were told it was $50k from start to finish, turned in all of our financials very early (that should have been the end of the process because they knew we made too much or should have known) and kept turning in all the requested documents. On the very last day, after getting my Mother's hopes up!, they called us and said, "You make too much money"...I can't express the negligence on their part and the utter frustration it caused us!"

"So many kind and caring people at Miller's! The food is excellent with so many options to choose from. Lots of activities to keep people as involved as they like. "

"Brookdale Portage Wyndmoor is a nice place. The staff was nice, the facility is nice, and they cook the meals for them. They also have people who assist with my mom's needs. With the restrictions and everything, I took my mom, got her settled, and that was it. But my mom says she likes it when I talk to her. They have activities and things like that -- it's just with this time of year and there's COVID.... Overall, the staffing, assistance, and the placement specialist there were very helpful. I haven't tasted the food, but right now she likes it. They have a salon, and they take them on trips."

"Hamilton Grove was nice. The room that I had visited with a friend of mine that was there was an older complex, but it still was clean. It was very roomy."

"My aunt lives currently at Miller Beach and she really likes it. We have had meals with her in the dining room and the food is very tasty. The staff is super friendly and really seem to care about their residents. While there they were having a luau and the owner was manning the grill. They had large pretzels with cheese, cotton candy and even a balloon artist. The best part was the petting zoo. "
