Story Cottage Living sits in a peaceful, suburban neighborhood in Carmel, Indiana, and you'll find it carries a quiet, home-like feeling that keeps things calm and comfortable for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The homes remain small, holding only about eight to ten residents each, which makes it easier for staff to give more personal attention-there's always one caregiver for every four residents. That sort of close ratio helps make sure nobody ever feels forgotten, and the Senior Home Companions staff take pride in showing respect, using gentle methods and focusing on keeping everything safe, especially when helping with things like bathing, oral care, or getting dressed.
You'll notice the quiet setting means less bustle than a bigger facility, and the rooms, sunroom, and library let people gather for meals, activities, or just to enjoy a sunny afternoon. The interiors have hardwood floors, wide windows, and decor meant to remind folks of home, while personal safety gets attention too, with passcodes on doors and monitoring systems that track night-time movements in a discreet way.
There's no loud marketing here, but the monthly cost does fall on the higher side, which reflects the upscale touches and personalized care. The homes sit close to shops, parks, doctors, restaurants, and places of worship, so families know nothing feels isolated. People living here join activities to stay social and engaged, and staff-always trained to support dementia and memory loss-find ways to include everyone.
There's a focus on making every day feel calm and secure, from special bathing techniques to simple tools for decision-making in the room, and families who want to know more can use their online resources like a video library, decision toolkit, and even take a virtual tour. Story Cottage Living connects with other locations too, like Williams Creek, Carey Grove, West Clay, and Meridian Hills, so the same approach runs through several neighborhoods in Indianapolis and Carmel, keeping the homes small, safe, and dedicated to memory care above all else.
