Jean 2022-06-19 Trail Creek Place was very nice. They allow you to bring your animals. When you walk in, it did not smell anything, even though they had animals in there. It was very clean, which was a plus for me. Dawn followed up with me many times after the tour. There was another lady there and they were both very nice and friendly. All meals were included and then you can smoke out in the courtyard. It's like an open-door policy. There's no curfew and they can have their own vehicle. It was a really good fit, because they give your medications for an extra fee and maid services are included in the rental fee. There were studio apartments and they were very good. The eating area was full when we visited and they all looked happy. I visited this facility

Bernadette 2021-11-14 We went to look at Trail Creek Place. The room they showed for us was just too small for a couple. I thought for a single person (for myself), it would be just perfect. But for both my husband and I, I just didn't think that the room was large enough for the two of us. The facility was nice and clean. The staff was very nice. She really went out of the way to get information for us, as far as the cost and everything. She was trying to get us some money to help us with the cost of the unit. I did see a calendar that had activities. They have bingo, games, arts and crafts that they could do. I saw that they would bring in entertainment for the patients to keep them busy and stuff. I visited this facility

Elisabeth 2021-11-06 My mom moved into Trail Creek Place a month ago. We chose this one because they offered an urgent placement, which is what we needed at the time. They had a room available and we met the criteria for their urgent placement protocol. Everyone was wonderful, they took the time to answer questions. I had to call and review prescriptions or check in on my mom, her phone wasn't working, and they've just been wonderful. The staff was very helpful. They were very genuine. They didn't give us the runaround or delay the process at all. They were very upfront with things. The food portions are small and probably not the best food, but not inedible or anything like that. The rooms were small, but they're very clean, and there's a lot of different rooms that my mom can go visit for activities and things like that. There's the dining room and there's a game room. There's like a little TV room on her floor that she can go to. She said there was like a room for crafting, so she can take her knitting and go down there and knit, and there are some nice windows that face the garden. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Diane 2021-10-19 The staff at Trail Creek Place was very knowledgeable. She had additional ideas for me, too. She was very good. It's one level and it's set up in a square. You can just walk around the whole area and it's very easy. You wouldn't get lost walking around the place or moving from place to place. They had exercise equipment, and the barber shop was there. The barber/hairdresser has recently retired, so they were looking for a new one. The garden was very nice. It was inside the square and there's a lot of outdoor seats. You could easily go out onto the patio, and it had tables and chairs set out there, and that's where we were conversing. I visited this facility

Kathleen 2017-10-13 I really love Trail Creek Place. I've got the largest room here. I've got a small kitchenette, small living room, small bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom. However, I'm not crazy about the food. It's not very healthy, there's no nutrition, and everything is breaded. We've got an activity director, there's an exercise class, we bake cookies, and twice a week the residents play Bingo. They check on me twice at night. I feel safe here. I am/was a resident of this facility

Jenna3 2015-07-28 We are in the process of having my mom in here. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, caring, compassionate, and kind. The rooms are very clean, well-kept, and fresh. The dining room has an easy access. They offer activities like exercises, outings or field trips, games, movie time, and music. They have gardening outside, sitting areas, and nature walk. They have current events and things to help with their cognitive skills to keep them up-to-date. The security seems very well; like in the main entrance, you have to be buzzed in because it is locked. I visited this facility

Leann 2021-06-23 My mom is at Trail Creek Place. We are fine with it. The amenities are nice. The food is OK, but there is a big turnover in staff. My mom is in the memory care over there. Security is very good. You have to buzz in, you can't get in without someone asking you the Covid questions, so they're really good about that. Some of the residents are mobile enough that they can try to open the door, but there's a lot of alarm and you can't get out without somebody noticing, so the security is pretty good. For the staff that has been there since Mom has been there, they're good. They have an activities director that I like. She's very, very nice, and she helps me. She does Zoom calls with Mom for me, so I can see Mom and talk to her through the Covid things. She's really good. She has been there the whole time. I like her a lot. As far as the other people, I can't say much because the turnover has been so high, and I don't live in Michigan City, so I can't go there every day to see her. My mom's room is big and it's very nice. She has her own bathroom. It's a large bathroom with a sink and a toilet. There's plenty of room for her wheelchair. The food is pretty good. She is kind of particular with what she eats. I've asked for different things for her to eat because she doesn't like tomatoes, and she has trouble chewing like chicken patties and things like that, so the food is OK. The activities are good. My mom sits down and participates when they go and get her. They play bingo, they throw the balloons back and forth, and they have music. The activities are good for her. She's got lots and lots of prizes, so I know she's participating. I don't know a lot of the people that are there now since they have a new director, and we haven't been able to get in. I want to say that the assisted living portion has had a lot of covid cases. My mom did get Covid at the very beginning and she pulled through miraculously, but that memory care facility has not had very many Covid cases at all. It's always zero, so that's good. However, there's not as many staff as it used to be. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

She072319 2019-08-02 Trail Creek Place was very welcoming and homey. My issue with it is cost and that there were very few males and a lot of women. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were more like home, not like a hospital room, but I don't have nearly $7,000 to spend. I worked at nursing homes all of my nursing career, and I have nothing negative to say about them. They're excellent, give excellent care, and in compliance with most things. I just don't have unlimited funds which is not the problem of the community. They had great activities and great things to offer. I visited this facility

Sue101155350 2015-03-27 I had visited and it was nice, but it was expensive. I don’t know anything about the staff. Other than the way it looks, I can’t say much about it. It was out of my mother’s price range. It was neat and pretty. The person I talked to was very friendly. She answered all my questions well and gave me time. I visited this facility
