Nursing Home Communities in Valparaiso, IN

"My mother is at Life Care Center. It's a good place. We have no problems at all with her being there. She said the food is good. The staff is wonderful, and I deal with them almost every day. It's a great place to go. They take good care of her."

"My husband was in rehab at Golden LivingCenter - Valparaiso. They were wonderful. We thought my husband was going to pass away when he went there. They got him into rehab, and they got him walking again. He does have the onset of dementia, but that's improving a bit. The place is just immaculate. The service and the care they took of my husband, they just did a wonderful job with him. It's expensive. Anytime I called, they always took the time to talk to me because we live in Michigan City, and it was hard for us to get over there to see my husband. He got acquainted with the staff. They were very friendly and attentive. He was always neat and clean when we went to see him. They were excellent as far as the care that they gave him. He said the food was good. He was always happy with what they served. A lot was like the taste of home cooking, nothing out of a box. He was more or less in a locked community because of his Alzheimer's, so he didn't do many activities. They had a few things, like in the afternoon they would have popcorn and a movie, or they would do maybe some bingo or some arts and crafts. They did have activities."

"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."

"The nurse especially on 400 floor mom room is big beautiful room staff there are great they hug mom makes mom feel like family they have lots of entertainment me and my sisters go to entertainment we enjoy it they always keep mom busy doing something like games singing I highly recommend this place"

"The facility was very clean, well maintained, and tastefully decorated. The staff seemed to care about the patients and were friendly to us when we visited. I must say that my mother visited her mother at least 3 times a week. She would file a complaint any time she thought her mother was not being taken care of. The bad thing about this facility was that they kept losing my grandmother's hearing aids and glasses. Clothes went missing even though they were clearly marked with my grandmother's name and my mom took the clothes home with her to wash them herself. The facility was not very thorough in trying to get stains out of residents' clothing nor would they make sure the residents had bibs.When my grandmother first went into this facility, she was still aware. My mom would always have to ask to have my grandmother included in events. Overall I would say that Golden Living Center is a place I would feel comfortable placing my own parents into for long term care. "

"Miller's Merry Manor is close to where we live here in town. Everything seemed to be pretty good compared to the ones I had seen in the past. I didn't notice any particular problems with the sanitation of the place other than the usual smell that you could find in most places. "

"I visited The Waters of Hobart. They were very friendly. It seemed very accommodating and clean, and they could handle his medical needs. The rooms are double occupancy. So, he would have a roommate, but I think that's a good thing to have someone else with him that he can talk to. The rooms seem very nice. They have activities like bingo and some other games and gatherings that they do."

"The New Director of Nursing Cynthia is very professional, great and was helpful. The facility is clean and staff is helpful. "

"My mom has been in this facility for a year now. I can honestly say at first the care was basic. Now they have definetly upped the ante in her care. They watch out for her esp taking the time and effort to make sure she is eating bathing and getting her meds. Trying to get her to interact with the other residents. Thy know her very well and know what to expect from her. Also the place while not decorated well (working on it) is immaculate and very clean "

"Great facility and service! The staff is dedicated and the facility is clean! "

"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."

"When I stepped into the Arbors, it was like being in my own home. It was nice and refreshing to be honest. When I first heard that my father was going to be appointed there I was upset. When I thought of those types of places, it made me a little uneasy. But to my suprise it was more then I expected. Its a nice and friendly environment. Everyone was so nice. My father could still do everything he loved to do when he was at home. As I walked through the facility everyone seemed so happy to bet there. Therewere activities, church, a diner room, and. rehabilitation as well. Overall it was definantly more then I expected it to be. I would highly recommend this place to others who in search of assisted living in the michigan city, in are. "

"I placed my grandfather at The South Shore Center in Gary, IN. There were many rumors and when we arrived we were pleasantly suprised. The facility was clean, friendly and professional. His stay there has been amazing. "

"This facility is immaculate looking and the staff are wonderful people! I absolutely would recommend any loved one to receive care from here! Keep up the great work! "
