Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Gary, IN
Wittenberg Village, a CCRC in Crown Point, IN
4.7

I moved in and liked it so much I bought a second apartment for my mother! The staff is the most caring I have ever encountered and the facility is top-notch. Hope to meet you soon.

Valparaiso Senior Village
4.3

We would recommend to others and have already done so. We picked this community because it was good and they accepted Medicaid. Only Disappointment is with the Rx system in place.Very difficult to make the many prescription changes weekly & monthly as needed for Parkinson's with two additional people / offices in between the Dr and patient.

Aviva Valparaiso
3.5

The staff greetings were very pleasant at Aviva Valparaiso. The admissions and finances were also pleasant and helpful. Most of the staff in the Memory Center were always helpful, not enough of them. Housekeeping needed a little more effort, but again not enough of them. Meals were usually warm at best and sometimes cold. I would be hard pressed in recommending Aviva but that would be mostly for the cost, kinda of not getting what you're paying for. I know almost all the facilities like Aviva charge the similar amount, tough for us on fixed incomes. I will end by saying that my wife was treated well and was comfortable.
