Recent reviews of Independent Living in St Joseph County, IN
Brentwood at LaPorte in La Porte, IN
5.0

We are thankful that we found Brentwood for mom. After breaking her hip we were not sure what to do next. The hospital sent her to rehab and that lasted only 24 days before another move was needed. Being out of state we were unsure what to do. We called a place for mom and they recommended Brentwood. We visited with [name removed] and toured the building. They actually do what they say, care. Mom is in a good place and we feel she is well cared for. Between my sisters and myself who which we could be more available, we thank the staff at Brentwood.

Oak Woods Manor in La Porte, IN

After my Dad passed my sister and I did not want my Mom to be home in the country alone. Greatest choice we made was to move her to Oak Wood Manor in LaPorte, IN.! She made so many new friends, got involved in so many activities such as crafts, bingo and games! She also enjoyed the Bible studies and entertainment that Oakwood provided. She 100% enjoyed living at Oakwood! Had she stayed at her home, she would have sat and watched TV all day and evening! Thank You Oakwood Manor!

Tanglewood Trace in Mishawaka, IN
3.8

The staff is okay. Not unfriendly, but not proactive either. It's the cheapest option in the area and isn't bad. On the Independent Living side there is zero assistance. It would be nice if they added Ala Carte items, like help with meds. They are raising the rate in 2024, but it's still the most affordable option compared to other locations.
