Reviews of Assisted Living Facilities in Indianapolis

January 14, 2021

I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of Southpointe Healthcare Center

I'm at Southpointe Healthcare Center. We don't have rooms like in the assisted living. It's basically 100% care here, and they have nurses on-duty. It's pretty much like a nursing home, and I'm here for long-term care and rehab. Due to my stroke, it kind of took away my ability to walk. They say I will walk again with proper therapy, but they don't have a timeframe on it. The rooms have a flatscreen TV, a small closet for clothing, a dresser and drawer, and a nightstand with two drawers, so it's not very big. There are at least 25 rooms on my wing, but they have three different wings. They serve our meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they have snacks available. They provide non-refrigerated items like chips or something like that, and they provide drinks like soft drinks, and coffee in the morning. They take care of your medication, and they assist with getting out of bed, and showers two times a week. They have on-site therapy, a beautician on-duty, and there's a bathroom in our room with a mirror. The occupational therapist helps me pretty much to shave, and the CNAs assist you with bathing twice a week. We have fun activities, card games, and bingo. There's a big screen TV, and they allow us to congregate in the dining hall and watch different movies, but we've been quarantined to our rooms for the last month. They also stated that there were zero cases of Corona patients here. They're giving us the nasal swab testing twice a week. They're pretty adamant about keeping it to where it is, and we don't allow visitors right now. It's a beautiful place, clean, and nice. The food is pretty much what you can expect. It's like a hospital setting in here. I'm only 55 now, and this is not how I want to live even if it's not long term. If there was a senior assisted living apartment community situation here, I would stay. It's not bad, it's just to my mental therapy, I'd like to be in a more home setting. There's a skeleton crew as far as CNAs and QMAs, but other than that, the quality of care is above average. There aren't enough people to answer all the call lights in an expediate manner. Other than that, if they had full staff, this place would be rated a 5/5. I don't have anything bad to say about it. The staff is very respectful, cordial, understanding, and patient with you, but we have to be patient with them too because they don't have full staff to answer everybody's call light in a fast manner. They don't really season the food here because they have lots of people with hypertension and diabetes. The food is good, but it could be a little bit better. It's easily accessible, the lawn is kept up to par, and there's no trash on the parking lot or on the grass areas, It's well maintained.

I visited this facilityReview of The Harrison

We visited The Harrison. The exterior could use a little sprucing, but the inside was fine. It's an older facility, but it's being kept up well. The residents seemed happy and content. The gentleman who gave me the tour did a good job and answered all the questions I had and concerns. The room was older designed. They worked on some trying to modify it and keeping it updated.

I visited this facilityReview of Magnolia Springs Southpointe

I loved Magnolia Springs SouthPointe. When I walked in the place was beautiful, from the surroundings to everything inside. It was nice and homey; it was just lovely. The staff member who assisted me was very helpful, explained everything to us, took us on a good tour, sat us down, and explained to us that they might not have a room ready but they'll help us as much as they can. The dining room was very pleasant; it was like a restaurant. They have a snack room so the residents can go down and get a snack in-between meals or get some drinks. It was a really nice set up and very clean; everybody was super nice. Their menu looked super nice and well-balanced; it looks like they set them up well. The place was beautiful.

I am/was a resident of this facilityReview of Traditions at Solana

I was a resident of Traditions at Solana's assisted living while my husband was in the memory care. The appearance of the community was very nice, and it was very nice inside and everything. They were near a small lake and they were very good at having things outside that you can set up on different lawns and patios; it was very nice. They had an independent section which were small cottages that went down a long street that's connected with them. I stayed there before moving into the assisted living. They didn't list it as independent, but they allow you to move in and pay less than assisted living. They have new directors now. There were no issues while I was there, and I didn't use a nursing aide. If I needed someone, they were there right away to help you. And that's the one thing that I miss compared to my current community. They had excellent activities and things during the day, like different ladies groups for braiding hats or doing jewelry. There was a van that has a nurse driver that drove people where they wanted to go. The food was good and it had a nice dining room, but the food was not always what you wanted; but I guess it's like that everywhere. The place was good and it was clean. The only thing was that they used to take Medicaid but that changed with the new directors and everything, so they stopped giving out Medicaid for new patients. It's not the cheapest game in town.

I visited this facilityReview of Rosegate Commons

Rosegate Assisted Living and Garden Homes was clean and nice. I liked that the fact that they were a husband and wife team, both retired doctors, and they were there in this facility themselves. It made me feel pretty good to think that out of all the places they could have gone, they chose this one as well. Medical-wise, it just felt like there was more access to medical needs and rehab facility. The lady who helped me with the tour was fantastic, wonderful, knowledgeable, patient, and spent a lot of time with me. She did a very nice job with the tour.

I visited this facilityReview of Hoosier Village

Hoosier Village is obviously very good, or I wouldn't have bought into it. The best thing about the place are their amenities. I like the fact that my loved ones are moving into a new unit thats being built. It's got everything, and it's very upscale, plus the people were very nice. The person who gave us the tour was excellent. They have everything, a health center, a huge heated pool, a hot tub, and an exercise room. They just have a lot to offer, plus the assisted living is quite lovely also. It's also good that we get 80% of our money back. We have 60 days of free health care service once we move in.

I visited this facilityReview of Rosegate Commons

We visited Rosegate Assisted Living and Garden Homes and were treated nicely. The accommodations were very nice. The staff was kind, warm, knowledgeable, and informative. The physical appearance of the assisted living place was nice, but it had an old people feel.

I visited this facilityReview of Altenheim Senior Living

Altenheim Senior Living was interesting. The main campus was much older, with retro-modern buildings, but they didn't have any units available. The unit we saw was a 3-bedroom, 2-bath. They showed us that, and they offered to put us there until there's a unit available, but that did not go well with us. They have amenities, they served us lunch, but that was not so good. It took my husband 15 minutes to get a hamburger, and the special of the day was cold. It was not the place for us. The staff member left us sitting there, we didn't get to meet anybody, he never came back, and we didn't know what to do, so we went home. Also, it was in a bad neighborhood, and we didn't feel safe at all.

I Am A Friend Or Relative Of A Current/Past ResidentReview of Traditions at Solana

They did not change his clothes. They did not bathe him. They did not transport him to dining room for meals, they served them in his room after we expressly told them not to do that. Most were still untouched after 9 days. There were feces on his sheets and on his toilet and bathroom floor but none on his diaper so it had been there for awhile. He fell while he was there but they did not notify his doctor or anyone in his family. They said they called the doctor but they lied. The nurse who told me about the fall when we picked him up was let go. A beautiful facility in all the common areas, lots of expensive furniture, but the care is no good.

Care Cost Comparison

As shown in the Cost of Assisted Living comparison chart, location can greatly influence the cost of senior care. Another major factor is the type of care required. In Indianapolis, the cost of skilled nursing care averages nearly $2,000 more per month than assisted living. When comparing assisted living with home care, home care appears to be significantly less expensive (about $700 to $1,200 less a month). However, it’s important to consider what kind of home care services are needed: homemaker services, home health aide services or both. It’s also necessary to weigh other costs related to staying in your home, including rent or mortgage payments, general maintenance and unexpected repairs. The cost of assisted living generally includes most of these expenses. Cost of Homemaker/Home Health Aide Comparison Chart
