The Best Memory Care Communities in Porter County, IN

"My grandmother moved to Two Hearts Homes for Seniors - Crown Point. It's a small community of only 15 bedrooms. The number of caregivers to residents ratio is awesome. The caregivers there make the food for the residents. It's got a big open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room, so they all eat together in that same room. They watch TV together. It's family-owned and operated. The owners have been great to work with. The administrative team has been great to work with. It's more of a home setting than a facility setting. It's just a family vibe. The staff is very outgoing and tends to go above and beyond. There's a small number of residents. So, they can take the time to get to know the people. It's very intimate. The facility is clean. The facility is brand new. They just sent me a picture of my grandma painting a coaster today. The whole building is in the shape of a U. At the bottom of the U is like the living room, the kitchen, and everything else. Then the branches of the U, the one bedroom, the large studio apartments, and they have a nice bathroom and nice-sized high ceilings."

"Mom is at Brentwood at LaPorte. I like that it has several steps of care and that it's indoors. You get your apartment, but still it has levels, and the prices vary. So, you can have a level that's a lower price range and still have some extra care. They have a chef. They have three meals a day. It's easy to transition to more extensive care there. The staff is really good. Their food is healthy, but it's still enjoyable to eat. They have snacks, too, so you get to eat plenty. It is very clean and the building is really nice."

"Toured with my mom for my grandma, very nice. Tried the food it was excellent. "

"Two Hearts provides my mom the most OUTSTANDING care anyone could ask for. She absolutely loves living everyday in this home! She is always talking about the staff on how kind, and loving the workers are to her."

"We choose Arden Courts for my father. They do the latest research with dementia. They have wandering trails, and they let them go outside. They don't use psychotropic drugs, they don't have chemical restraints, and they don't stick them on the top floor and not let them come out. "

"My mom was here. The rooms were a lot bigger than the ones at another place we had visited. The facility was small and intimate. However, they didn’t accept Medicaid. They didn’t have as many activities, but it was a very nice place. I would definitely recommend them. They treated us well. "

"My mom has moved to Avalon. The staff is friendly and courteous. What I like best about it is that their memory care is a separate building from their assisted living. It’s small and has about 32 rooms. The entire staff in that building, from the custodians to cooks, are trained for memory care. The grounds are well manicured, and the location is fine for me. "

"My dad was in Symphony Chesterton for rehabilitation, and it was very nice. He was in rehab, so his room was just a basic room, nothing fancy, but it was clean and nice. He had heart issues, so they have him walk and do things like that. There were just strengthening therapies. The staff was nice and cooperative. They did try to get him out of there as soon as possible, but I didn't feel he was quite ready to leave. They were good with activities. They had a nice dining room, they had a lot of extra activities for them to do, and they had get-togethers that you could attend if you wanted to."

"We went here. Everything was nice. We had no problem with it. It was all compact and very available. We liked it. It was very neat and clean. The staff members were very pleasant, very nice, and very informative."

"We had a great tour at Brentwood at Hobart. I liked everything I've seen. It was a little of an older building, but everything was nice. The staff was very pleasant and answered all the questions that I had. I was fairly surprised with the size of the rooms. They were generally larger than I was thinking. I was thinking more along the lines of like a hotel room, and it was more like an apartment room. It had a living room, a bedroom, a fairly large size bathroom, and a little kitchen. I did not get to try the food, but the menu looked fine. They said even that if there was something special she wanted, she could put in a request for it. They had an arts and crafts room and patios, where they can go and sit outside and do a little bit of gardening. She showed us the calendar. During the time we were there, they had no activities really going on. I think that they had an exercise class on the memory care unit going on at the time we were there. The one that assisted us was very nice, very pleasant, and answered all our concerns. She did a really good job."

"My husband stayed here 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."

"My brother is in the memory care unit at Spring Mill Health Campus, and he seems to be enjoying the place. He likes the food, but with his limited memory capacity right now, we just take what he said. The staff is very friendly and nice. My brother has only been there a week, so I can't make a definite determination right now, but what I've seen I'm okay with. I can't really go in too far because of this health crisis; just one person meets me at the door. It's a fairly new place."

"I liked Towne Centre. They offered a lot of things. The rooms and the dining area were very nice. The residents were very comfortable, and they seemed nice. The place was beautiful. It had a garden."

"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."
