Elkhart Place sits in Elkhart, Indiana, and offers assisted living and memory care for seniors, including those who need extra help because of Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and the place tries to make sure each resident feels at home with safety, dignity, and independence. Residents get private studio or one-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes-those have microwaves, small fridges, and freezers-along with personal bathrooms, wall-to-wall carpeting, in-suite climate controls, and emergency call systems, plus indoor mailboxes and walk-in showers, which you don't always see everywhere and really helps with privacy and comfort, and they've got apartment entryways that are lit up for safety and heated and cooled rooms, and they keep closets and storage generous, too. The building holds a State License number 4353 and has a welcoming outside with white columns, a covered front porch, a pretty water fountain, trimmed bushes, and flower beds, and when you step inside you see a lobby, common living rooms, media room with chairs and computers, a crafts room, a dining room with breakfast, and there's also an outdoor courtyard, walking paths, and gardening club. The facility allows pets so people can bring their four-footed friends, and they're proud of having a homelike atmosphere where both people and animals can settle.
Elkhart Place has care staff on site 24 hours a day and includes a full-time registered nurse who oversees health service and is on call all the time, plus a nurse who works part-time and a team called Resident Care Partners who get to know what each resident likes and needs, trying to give the right level of support, which could range from help with showers or dressing to medication reminders and managing health plans, with personalized care plans set for everyone. They offer weekly housekeeping and linen services, laundry, and maintenance, and there are on-site salon and barber services for grooming and haircuts. People enjoy restaurant-style dining with three fresh meals every day, and there are snacks, too. There's scheduled transportation for shopping, doctor visits, and outings, and the staff organizes group field trips, games, art classes, exercise sessions, devotional programs held offsite, and weekly social events with outdoor and indoor activities, like walking club or movie night, so there's always something to do with others if you want.
For those who need more health support, Elkhart Place provides skilled nursing, short-term rehab, home health care, adult daycare, and even respite care if a family just needs a little break for a few days, and if someone's health changes, they offer continuing care so residents don't have to move somewhere else, and have tailored health and wellness assessments for everyone, trying to keep people as active and healthy as possible with regular wellness programs, fitness classes, and specialized therapy on site.
Residents have plenty of common spaces to relax, whether that's reading in the lounge, chatting in the dining area, using the computers in the media room, or just being outside in the courtyard, and the whole place-staff and residents-seems friendly and tries to make everyone feel like they're part of a small, caring community, which is a real plus. The apartments and building include safety features like smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and emergency call buttons, and the staff supports residents in English and can communicate in more than one language if needed.
Elkhart Place is run by Enlivant, and the focus stays on supportive care and tailoring things to what each person needs, whether that's meal choices, activities, or health support, and the rates are set to be affordable for the area. All in all, this senior living community tries to bring peace of mind to residents and their families by offering a supportive, active, and safe environment while respecting every person's independence.
