85 Independent Living near Facilities Bartholomew County, IN. Page 4

I had an awesome tour of this community. It is a really nice facility with kind people. My tour guide was very helpful, and informative. He gave my good information on elder care. The community looked nice, but the apartment I was shown was to small for my mother. It was a lovely experience overall, and my tour went very well.

The facility is attractive and clean. The staff is caring and capable. Their target demographic is independent seniors. While they do offer special care for those that may need it, they are somewhat limited with what they can do if the client is not mentally or emotionally sound. My mother's deteriorating condition quickly overwhelmed the staff. However, they really did well for longer than was probably best for them or my mother. I'll also take this opportunity to say how much I appreciated the help I got from Karen Marlatt at A Place for Mom. She was an invaluable resource and her experience and caring attitude were greatly appreciated.

We have a gathering area with chairs, tables and umbrellas where many of our neighbors gather weather permitting in the evenings. Its in the center of our little housing group so it's right out front. Lots of good conversation and laughter. Wonderful neighbors.
