Memory Care Communities in Franklin, IN

"My parents liked Altenheim Senior Living very much, but there wasn't a unit available. They had individual homes, and duplex brick homes which was what my parents liked. The place was very clean and very bright. They also offer everything that my parents could use. Michael was the one who took us around, and he was very patient and helpful. The grounds and the layout were beautiful. It was on 32 acres of land and they had nice, paved walking paths."

"My stepdad moved into Keepsake Village of Columbus Memory Care a month ago. We like it. It's all memory care. And their bedroom door is locked so that other residents don't come in and take stuff, and they can't go into other residents' rooms and take stuff. My stepdad has dementia, so we needed a memory unit. The staff are wonderful. It's small. They only have a total of 48 beds. We like the staff. The food is delicious. It's very clean. They keep them all together. They all come out of their rooms in the morning and have breakfast and they get them all up and dressed and everything, which I like they are completely dressed. They exercise. They go on outings mostly just like a bus ride out through the country or something like that or maybe to Walmart. He's pretty far advanced and gets tired quickly, although most of the residents are mobile. They have a courtyard. It's in a square and they have a courtyard that they can go into. It's really lovely, but they have activities all the time. And then in the evening when we've been there they are getting everybody like watching a movie and kind of quieting down, and then they take them out, one or two at a time and get them ready for bed and put them to bed. So they spend a lot of time together, but they can go to their rooms if they want. My stepdad doesn't like to be alone, so sometimes he comes out and sleeps on one of the couches at night and they let him. He's 92. I love the layout of the building. It's in a square. So, they can just walk around in a square and they don't get lost. And the courtyard is in the middle. So there are several doors. They can go out into the courtyard and they're safe. So, I think the layout is excellent."

"My wife had spent some time at Cumberland Trace previously in their rehab, so I knew a little bit about it to start with. I've had some of the meals and I would rate it five across the board. It was a little expensive, but that's about the only drawback I saw on it. My wife stayed in a semi-room. There's a memory care area and my wife was in rehab, but they were very similar in the rooms with a large bathroom and a large bedroom. They didn't show me any activity, but I could see some residents walking around. I saw a crafts room and some availability of space for family visits and whatnot."

"We went to Otterbein SeniorLife Franklin. They had a woodshop, painting, and a greenhouse. The rooms were fine. The only problem was they didn't have two-bedroom units. It was just a main room and a bedroom. The bathrooms were a little old and they had high curbs, getting in and out of them. Otterbein is a little bit older, but part of its charm was it's older. It would have been a lovely place to go. The atmosphere was wonderful. The only reason we needed a two-bedroom apartment is that our parents don't sleep together, but there were couples that were in their one-bedroom apartments and that wasn't the issue. The issue is, the price they were charging for the second person was almost as much as they were charging for one person. We have visited lots of assisted living places and usually, the second person is less than $1000 because mostly you're just paying for food. The first person is paying for the two-bedroom apartment, so the second person doesn't cost much, but Otterbein was charging like $3780 for the second person. Every place else we looked at is anywhere from $700 to $1000. Adding a second person made it astronomically expensive. If you need assisted living and you just need a one-bedroom, it's amazing, I'd go there. They had all the extra activity spaces."

"I think the staff at Franklin Meadows is great. My loved one has dementia and they are very well trained on how to handle it. The only complaint I have is the building its in very bad shape. Wish they would move to a new building. "

"My close relative's health was deteriorating quickly. We as a family needed to make some important, but rapid decisions. We had talked with and visited several facilities. None seemed just right. One morning during that time, I visited a local place of business. This facility's little bus was there. I observed the residents getting on and off after shopping. They were very happy, well dressed, clean, and well supervised by their driver. She was very professional and very kind to her residents. She made sure they were safe and saw to their individual needs. I was so impressed that I wrote down the name of the facility, I went home and called the facility. They were very professional and warm. They invited us to come visit. As a professional nurse myself, I definitely was looking for a professional environment that would provide excellent nursing care, including a very clean, safe, comfortable, and compassionate environment. i wanted to be assured that the meals followed the dietary orders and were served in an attractive homey environment. I wanted them to taste good too! I also wanted a medical and nursing staff that would work closely and accurately with our resident's own physicians and dispense the medications properly. We as a family wanted to be assured there was a great activity director and program that would enhance our loved one's life. We wanted family involvement and to be sure this was a "home" we could all be a part of together with our resident and the entire staff. After visiting and having excellent discussions and a thorough orientation with the administrators, we felt very comfortable making our decision to bring our family member to this facility. Our decision has proved to be a wonderful one. We have now been there six months, and are very pleased. "

"I live in Vita Senior Living of New Whiteland. The staff is helpful, caring and dependable. The food needs a bigger variety. Maintenance is excellent. We're going out to a movie, we have parties, there's bingo, euchre and games. The unit is small but it's very nice. The management is excellent. It's pricy here though. It's attractive and clean. The other residents are very kind. It's just a good place to be."

"My dad has been moved into Greenwood Meadows because he fell at the other facility and broke his neck, so now, he is in skilled nursing. It's comparable to what else is available around here. He is in a semi-private room, so there are two people. He is bedridden, so I don't see him being in other parts of the buildings to know what those other things would be like. They were recommended by the hospice. They were one of the few places that had the requirements and had an opening that was located close to his family members for us all to be able to visit. I thought his food is fine, appearance-wise, but I didn't taste any of it to know if it is bland or not bland."

"My parents are in long-term care at Rosegate. They seem to be taken care of well. I haven't had any problems with them. Their room is pretty homey. If I was to say something bad, it would probably be that they probably should have somebody cleaning it a little more. I clean the room twice a week because they don't get cleaned as much. Other than that, they do a good job, and they do what they can. Food is hit and miss, but overall, it's good. I substitute them with snacks. I bring stuff just in case what they get isn't filling. They get a lot better meals. I specifically asked my stepdad this question yesterday, and he said that he liked it a whole lot better than the other place. The staff has been helpful. If I have any concerns, they address it well. My mom got dementia, so they don't discuss a whole lot of matters with her, but they take care of everything."

"The Villas at Ashford Place is equally as good as with the other facility I visited. It was nice and clean. The helpers were helpful. The rooms were good. I would recommend this place to others. "

"Woodland Terrace's single room was beautiful, but very small, and it didn't have a stove. The place was just freshly opened so there weren't a lot of people yet. The dining area was outstanding and formal. They had an activity room and an excellent theater room. The person at the desk was very nice, the two activity ladies were outstanding, and the marketing manager was wonderful. The place was brand new, but it was a long way from doctors."
