Memory Care Communities in Valparaiso, IN

"Brentwood at LaPorte's community has been very helpful and attentive to my father. He seems to have taken a little bit of time to settle in, but they're very proactive in trying to get him involved. They make sure that my dad eats every meal, they talk to us when we're there, and make sure we know how my dad is doing throughout the day. We also get regular phone calls from them if anything changes or if he has fallen. They've been very quick to react and we're very pleased with how everything has progressed. My dad started in an apartment in regular assisted living, but they noticed over the first couple of weeks that he was kind of confused, so they recommended him going into the memory care unit, and now he has his own bedroom space, but he shares a bathroom with another gentleman, so they're kind of like partners so he's not in the room all by himself. They do have a wall that separates the two bedrooms. They have two or three different activities throughout the day in addition to all the meals, and once a week they actually have a little trip that they can go on for assisted living. They have a cafeteria, an exercise room, pool table area, an area for arts and crafts and movies, and a piano. It's a very nice facility for both units."

"As our mother, Sarajane, aged, she needed different stages of help. Initially, she moved from her home in which we were all raised to an apartment for seniors near me, to living with my sister during Covid, to living at Two Hearts near my brother, which opened providentially at the precise time when an assisted living facility was needed for her care. We felt like we had personal family care with each new challenge. As mother aged from her 90s to 100, Two Hearts provided social, physical, and personal care beyond what we were capable of providing for her. We felt like we had an extended family through the owners and caretakers at Two Hearts. The three of us are thankful to God for his timing for mother’s care at each stage of life and for the loving care of Two Hearts Assisted Living."

"My mom has moved to Residences at Deer Creek. We chose them because they've got the highest ratings in Indiana over the last few years. It's very clean, has very nice facilities and the staff is fantastic. Her room is very nice, it's a studio apartment. They have things going on every day, there's breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they also have physical therapy that comes right there. They've got a full restaurant, 4-Star or 5-Star restaurant on site. It has also assisted living on the other half of the building. It's a very nice place. The food is fantastic. It's easily located right off of U.S. 30, just west of Route 41. The staff is very caring, very helpful, and they're very attentive to everything that's going on with my mom. It's a little more expensive than other places but they have a lot more to offer."

"My mom has lived at Two Hearts, for just over one year now. The care she received is outstanding! They met Mother's physical needs and went beyond to take care of her like family. The interaction between staff and residents is life sustaining. The whole place is very beautiful and feels like a real home."

"My aunt is now at Arden Courts of South Holland. It feels very homey. It's a small facility where they get excellent care. Everybody knows everybody's name. They have different houses in the facility. Each house can have up to 15 patients, and each house has its own common room, dining room, and kitchen, so it makes her feel more like she's at home, rather than in a facility. The staff has been excellent. I have no problem with them. Any time anything goes on with her, no matter how small, I am given a phone call for an update on how she's doing and what's going on. They care there, and they know how to talk to and deal with patients with Alzheimer's and dementia because they need a special kind of care. Activities are music, crafts, trivia nights, and TV-themed activities. In the common part of the facility, there are different stations where you can have a gardening station, a sports station, a handyman station, a book station, and a little store station. They have different things that people might be interested in, and they could go to the station to just see the things, touch them and get hands-on. And I think that's important because they take into consideration all the different ways the people might have grown up or what they might like. The food is excellent."

"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."

"I visited Avalon Springs Health Campus. They were very helpful and worked with me when I got there. I did not have an appointment, so they made time for me and spent one-on-one time with me, answered my questions, and gave me a total tour. I've tried to reach out to them by phone, no one picked it up, then I had left a message and I didn't get a response, that's the only problem I had with them. The apartments seemed clean and it's a good spot for the elderly that needs some assistance. They gave me a calendar, and they had bingo, and they had a sing-along going on as we walked through. They recently had an Oktoberfest type day, and they do something like that every month and that would be a special meal. They had the German hats that they got for them and it looked like they had fun with that. I saw a dining room and outside spaces, and they had tables and chairs set up. There was a sitting area up front, which was like a family room area setup. The facility seemed clean. They were friendly and helpful. They would have transportation for doctors' appointments if needed. They have respite care where dad could come in and stay at the facility for a short time like a week or so and see what he thinks, so I liked that idea."

"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."

"It is perfect for my mother-in-law because it is not assisted living. She is in her own villa with a bedroom and two baths. She is still very independent. It seems like a great place, and it is close to my wife and I. The people working there are fantastic. We have nothing but good experiences since she has been there. The villas are fantastic. It is a two-bedroom duplex. They have tons of activities. They play cards. They have trips. They have socials, happy hours, and everything."

"The memory care environment is wonderful! The care my father received was amazing. I am so thankful for all the staff and Amelia and Clare. A wonderul ploace for your parents to live. 5/5 stars. "

"My dad is going here. The thing that I liked about it was the peace and calmness of the place. We liked the atmosphere. There was an outdoor space, so they could go out and walk in the courtyard. The staff who gave the tour was so pleasant; I love her. She was very understanding and considerate. She was very patient with me. The cleanliness was fine. It didn't smell. It smelled like a nice and clean place. I think they need to update their foyer area."

"Spring Mill Health Campus was nice with everything they had to do. My grandmother was there two years ago and their apartments were well taken care of. The staff was nice They were great. They had bingo and card games."

"I visited Towne Centre for my relative. It was very pleasant. I was really impressed with it. They had plenty of activities. I was really in awe when I'd seen it. "

"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."
