Memory Care Communities in Granger, IN

"My mom is a resident here. The rooms are nice, and it's a very nice community. They have exercises, games, and activities for the residents. The last time we were there, she was watching a movie in their movie room. They are very friendly, and the staff is excellent."

"The rooms are a nice size and the staff are always friendly."

"My mother moved into Wellbrooke of South Bend. It's a new place, it's very nice, the staff is very knowledgeable, and they have a rehab facility on the campus. They've been very accommodating with the food, my mom is a vegetarian, they're working on a menu together about a menu, and that's going well. We have eaten there, and the food was very good. They have a lot of activities, they have a library, and they have a room where they can view films. The facility itself has a lot of windows, so there's light, and a lot of sunlight comes in. Their assisted living section is full, but they're adding onto their facilities. I was very impressed with it."

"My mother has been in the facility for close to 4 years. Yes Covid has changed a lot of things that we used to be able to do. Not once though have I questioned if she was safe and being taken care of. It’s a huge relief knowing she’s in good hands. The staff has always been great. "

"Staff are caring and responsive. Rooms are small but comfortable. Large windows. Great bathrooms! Lots of activities to participate in including music, bingo, card games, informational activities, exercise choices, movies, ball games, outside trips to theaters, plays, music, restaurants, etc. Library, hair and nail salon, small store for personal items and food."

"My mom is a resident of Chalet of Niles and we liked the Chalet very much. We like the staff. My mom is 89 and we have been having problems as far as her healthcare is concerned. She has the propensity of bawling and her needs have increased. But the staff, the people there, are very caring. They did really well during the pandemic. The food is good. I like the administrator, and so does my mom. It is not bad; it is actually really good. Her room is nice. It is an older facility, but they keep up on it. They just now started back up with activities. They were doing activities during the pandemic, things like hall bingo, connecting with all the residents, and they did well for being in the middle of a pandemic. Now she is able to go to the dining room, she is able to join in the activities if she wishes. She loves bingo, and so they play a lot of that. She is also the resident council president. I can't say enough about the Chalet of Niles. I think they are very professional, caring, and loving human beings."

"I've been to Hubbard Hill Estates for a visit. The rooms that they have is fine to me. The people that work there are very good and helpful. I have not heard any complaints about them so far. "

"My aunt was in Greenleaf Health Campus. It was a good location for her, and they were good in working with her. She was recovering from a stroke, and she is feeling much better. The rooms were very nice and very personal. You can bring your own things to personalize it, so it was really good. I saw the dining room. They had lots of activities, and they had treats they took them on and eating out. They were kind. I just didn't see a lot of therapy compared to the hospital, but they made her comfortable and worked with her a little bit. She needed a lot of speech therapy."

"My father has advanced dementia and has lived at Elkhart Meadows for seven years. The staff is exceptional as well as the administration team. They communicate very well with me about my dad‘s care and health. He has a decent little room with his own television and bathroom. There is plenty of space in the common area and the dining room For all of the residents and guests as well as a giant fish tank that is well maintained. My dad seems very happy there."

"I toured Waterford Crossing. The difference with them is that you buy a duplex, and when you leave, you sell it. Whereas the others, you kind of buy in, but you don't get your money back if you have to move, so that's a big difference. It was more out in the country. Everything seemed nice, friendly, and clean. The staff who toured me around was very nice. It was more like a little village with little houses and stuff that you bought into. It's like a little community and everybody has yards and stuff."

"Waterford Crossing is a very well-rounded assisted living center. I really like the way in which it helps keep friends and family connected to its residents. I especially enjoy the Happy Hour they have every Friday (friends and family as well as residents can attend)! Most of the staff is friendly and helpful, though we have had a few "gruff" interactions over the years - but not many. There are a lot of different activities for residents, from social activities like playing cards, to exercise groups, to worship services, and more. The residents also seem to enjoy the nearby elementary school, which often has the kids come in and do performances for the residents. The rooms are big and spacious, though it depends upon the number of rooms you choose. The building itself is relatively new and well lit, and some of the rooms have a great view of the pond out back. They also have a "driver" who can take residents to appointments, church, or other places in town. About the biggest problem we've ever had with Waterford Crossing is with the carpeting. It was too thick and it caused my friend to tire more quickly when walking around in the hallways. She even tripped and fell once because of it. Overall it's a great place for the money. "

"I will be moving into the Woodland Terrace on the 30th of May. It's very well-maintained. It's very clean and bright. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. She's followed up with me to assist with the admissions paperwork and all those kinds of things. She's been very responsive. The food looks great. I saw a menu. I also happened to be there at lunchtime, so I saw people eating. They provide very nutritious meals and plenty of food. The people that spoke to me, both residents and the staff were very friendly, obviously very happy. Every resident that I spoke to highly recommended living at Woodland. And I didn't hear a single complaint."

"Very good overall experience. No complaints at this time. Employees seem to work very hard and care about what their doing for the most part. They answer call lights in a timely matter and are very polite."

"I went to The Willows Assisted Living. The staff was very helpful and willing to give information and go beyond if they didn't know to gather it. The facility seemed to be very resident friendly. I didn't get a chance to visit the rooms. We addressed that for a later time, being that the person that did the touring of it wasn't available at the moment, but I was able to get a rundown of what took place in the facility. I was able to observe an outdoor activity. There was an indoor activity facility where the residents did puzzles, games, and exercises."
