Towne Center Memory Care Merrillville Indiana
reviewed on: 08/15/2017 by ShellyJust opened remodeled Towne Center Memory Care. The rooms are nice size with having living room, 1 bedroom, large walk in closet, large bathroom with roll in shower with seat, small dinette area with cabinets, sink, microwave and apartment size refrigerator and room for a small dinette set. I think they need more help either aids or nurses, although Everyone has been nice and helpful through this difficult time. The marketing person we originally talked to while looking for a facility has moved on to her next facility. There was information given to us that was incorrect but we are working through it without her help. Nancy, the RN director, has been helpful in most aspects. This is assisted living in memory care and I've only been used to nursing home care that my mother was in. I forget the staff doesn't do it all for their residents (not patients) and it's my job to do insurance, physical therapy , Dr appointments, etc since my family members can't. It's really quite time consuming and stressful. The food isn't the best but I know my family is getting a solid three meals a day plus snacks. There is a new activities director so that will hopefully get the residents out and more social with each other. It's difficult due to what of stage of Alzheimer's they're in. It's very difficult for my family that moved there. One is in a wheelchair and doesn't have dementia but his wife does. They are getting used to it and are happier getting to know some other residents Hopefully soon they'll get more residents and get more staff help and get more organized. I believe they will It's been hard but the staff is Trying to do their best to make the transition easier for all of us
Care and options
reviewed on: 08/18/2017 by AnonymousWe toured this community. We loved the staff and the environment. They did not have an outside area and my aunt likes being out doors. This is the nice community and they have a list of good activities. We would recommend this community for families to tour for the care of a loved one
A good place for the price!!!
reviewed on: 06/06/2016 by AnonymousMom started at this community in assisted living due to a fall but she is now in independent living and she is doing good. The food is decent and she has gained weight. The staff are trying to get her to participate in more of the activities offered. I Would recommend this community and it is clean and well taken care of.
Caring community
reviewed on: 07/09/2020 by MaryJust like at any other place, you have to be involved with the care. The staff is proactive and brings issues to me as well. The food is great. My mother in law is in the memory care, room sizes and layout are good. They have a non secured garden for memory care residents. They have a new director that has been very helpful.
I wish his health had allowed him to stay there longer.
reviewed on: 06/16/2021 by anonymousOverall, I think it was a great place. There was always somebody there to answer the phone, which I really liked. They were very pleasant. You can tell people liked their jobs, which really sets a nice tone for the culture. I would highly recommend them. My only frustration was communication with the nursing staff could have been better. They didn't always return calls right away, to myself as his caregiver or to other medical facilities. Sometimes it took a couple of days. Activities looked really interesting and fun. They really offered a lot, just some of the activities were not currently ongoing due to Covid. There were lots of little sitting areas to go and read. The entryway was a very spacious, three-story atrium, so it was very bright when you walked in. I was pleasantly surprised that it was the most reasonable of all the facilities I looked at.
