The Best Nursing Home Communities in Kosciusko County, IN

"Upon driving into Timbercrest, one can't help be struck by the beauty and simplicity of the facility. Regardless of the season, the grounds are well-manicured and very well-taken care of. In the winter, there is never any ice or snow obstructing the walks; in the spring and summer, there are always flowers and planters placed everywhere. Although I have never had any prolonged contact with the staff, the facility always seems very-well staffed, and the receptionists on duty are always very friendly and eager to help. In fact, every employee that I pass by on trips in and out of the various corridors are always quick to say hello and ask me if there is anything I need.I think what impresses me most about Timbercrest is the facilities and amenities offered for residents. There is a large kitchen area that is available for residents to use for family reunions or other gatherings. In this area, there are also dart boards and pool tables. The exercise room is large and fully stocked with machines of all kinds, and there is a craft room, a hardware, and a variety of other specialized areas to entertain hobbies of all kinds.The grounds of Timbercrest -- those beyond the front door -- are beautiful. There are gardens and walking paths that are easily accessible for anyone in a wheelchair or motorized scooter, and this is where I have spent some of the best time with my aunt. "

"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."

"I did not like Miller's Manor. I thought it was old and I did not like the layout. The nurses were very nice, but the facility was awful. There's nothing comfortable looking, or feeling about it."

"My mother is now in rehab at Greencroft Healthcare. So far, they're very caring. It has a family-like atmosphere. The staff has been excellent working with her. We're just extremely happy all the way around. They have a lot of things, but she does not do any of those right now. I can see that they are available for use like games and puzzles and they have books and colored pencils to do adult coloring, and they have reading. They have a multitude of things that she can do, but she's not been able to do that yet. They have a beauty shop and I know that my mom has used it and has been very happy with that. We've been very, very pleased with the caring atmosphere. They treat her like she's their grandmother. It's very clean there. Their staff is very diligent about keeping the areas picked up. I would give them high marks for that. I feel like all of those facilities are way overpriced, but they are very comparable and we had to find a place that accepted a Medicare waiver and they do. We're very pleased to have such a quality place of care and we're pleased with the financial end of it also. I have never had the food, but my mom likes it. She had to move from independent care to 24-hour nursing care."

"We did find dad a facility and he is at Courtyard Healthcare. It's a great facility. He was familiar with the place because he volunteered there for about 10 years. He knew all of the staff there so it was like moving one home to another and that went very well. He also likes the food there. The care has been very good. They are really conscientious about the care of their residents and they keep me informed on any kind of changes that he thinks that has come up. They give me a call right away no matter what time – day or night. They have an activity director and we have known here for a long time. They have activities published in each room. "

"We decided to have mom at Miller's Merry Manor in Wakarusa, because they had an opening, and compared to other places in the area, their price is a little bit more reasonable. The staff is very nice and very helpful. Her room is very nice and clean. It's a studio. The food is very good. They have bingo and an exercise class in the morning."

"My mother has blended into the community and loves the social interaction. There is something going on at all times. Balloon tennis is her favorite. 🤗 Everyone is friendly and helpful. She feels valued and cared for. "

"Overall everything seemed to be very well taken care of at all times. Everyone seemed to be genuinely happy with their work and they were always more than happy to help with whatever questions or tasks that needed to be done. The food and entertainment was also a plus and all of the residents seemed to be in high spirits. Honestly, it turned a bad situation and make it tolerable for everyone.Obviously, my mother in law was very happy to finally get out of there after her physical therapy was complete. Though, it never would have been possible without all of the help and dedication from the friendly doctors and the extra helpful staff of the facility. It was a pleasure and I hope and pray that all facilities show the same love and respect to all of their residents. So, I guess in conclusion, everything was amazing. The care exceeded all of my expectations and took away some of the fear and stereotypes that I had heard about assisted care facilities and retirement homes. Good work! "

"My mother has been in Miller's Merry Manor twice. She was there for a few months and left because she wanted to move back in the house, but then she ended up breaking her leg and she's been back in there since December of this past year. She's been there overall about a year. I would rate them very high. It's a beautiful facility. The staff is extremely caring and nice. I have eaten there a number of times and the food is excellent. The rooms are big. She's got a nice 1-bedroom apartment with a huge closet, a fullt appointed large bathroom with all the facilities that she needs as far as handrails and a sit-down shower. They monitor her three times a day. They have plenty of activities. I can't say enough nice things about this place. They're really great. They have weekly trips, they take them shopping, and they take them to plays and other activities in the community, which she does participate in. She's happy where she is."

"The place that we most want is Hubbard Hill Estates, but they didn't have any openings. They got three on the waiting list already, but by far, Hubbard Hill would be perfect for my sister. There, they have freedom because it's almost like a greenhouse, where if she can't sleep at night, she would still be able to go out and walk around and feel like she is outside. It is almost like a classroom. My sister had been an elementary teacher, so she would have loved it. They put up all their artwork, so this would be stimulating for her to wander around and look at all the beautiful artwork that the clients have done. Hubbard Hill is just amazing. The staff members were nice and patient. It seems like ever since COVID, everybody is nasty to each other, but none of these people were nasty. Nobody said anything negative. They were all very professional, informative, and understanding. They have the artwork everywhere. Just very colorful. There was a welcome wreath on the door that was made out of flip-flops, just really cute little things like that. My sister was a bit of an artist, so she would love that stuff."

"This facility looks better and better every day with the new management team in here now they have been treating people with respect and integrity. They have been doing updates and keeping the facility clean and friendly looking. I would recommend this valley view to anyone that need a safe and secure environment to anyone in this area. The staff are really nice and try their hardest to please the residents to the best of their ability. Call them and talk to them and they will answer any of your questions."

"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."

"My husband moved into Golden LivingCenter-Elkhart a week ago. The staff was very nice, all the staff that we've met, my husband's content, and he's happy with it. They have a kitchen they can go to at any time to get a cup of coffee, they have courtyards where they can go outside frequently if they would like. They have nice areas to visit with family. It seems to be safe healthwise, and they check for COVID. They do have activities. They feed them pretty well from what he says. It was clean, I noticed in a few places they could use some paint, but it was very clean. There were public restrooms, and it was very secure."

"I'm here at Sprenger Health Care for rehab. I think it's really nice. The staff are fantastic. The food is very good. If you need transportation, there is a woman here that arranges the transportation. It's very good. It's very clean. I don't see anything wrong with it at all. The cost is like any other one."
