Trustwell Living at Settlers Place sits on Michigan Avenue in La Porte, Indiana, and offers a range of living options for seniors, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and respite care, so folks can stay in the same place even if their needs change. The community helps residents who need a little or a lot of support, including those with memory-related conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia, with staff around day and night and a full-time registered nurse making sure medical care's always on hand. The private apartments include studios and one-bedroom units, both with handy kitchenettes, private bathrooms, cable TV, and high-end finishes, and the buildings are easy to get around in with wide hallways and bright, cheerful spaces.
Meals are cooked by chefs and planned to give a good mix of vitamins and nutrition, and folks eat in a lively dining room decorated with elegant chandeliers and a Wall of Honor, or they can have meals in their own apartments if they want a quiet night in. People often gather in the lounges or living room, where there's a fireplace and large TV, and those who like to get out of their apartment will find activity rooms, a game room, a creative studio for art, and a full-service salon with barber services. Outside, there's a landscaped courtyard and patio for family visits, and pets are always welcome, with policies that encourage having furry companions around.
Settlers Place puts lots of effort into their calendar, so there's always something going on, with daily activities, exercise classes, church services, bingo games, live entertainment, outings to the nearby park, and special events like ice cream socials or card tournaments. They schedule both planned and spontaneous outings every weekend and provide transportation for errands and group trips.
The staff helps with bathing, dressing, and taking medicine right on time, and they work out personal care plans for each resident. Management and maintenance take care of weekly cleaning, laundry, and repairs, and there's an emergency call system in every apartment. For peace of mind and safety, the building is fully staffed and secure, with lots of seating areas, a mailbox area, internet access, and handy mailboxes by a welcoming reception area decorated with tasteful fixtures and chandeliers.
People can continue living at Settlers Place even if their health gets worse, since the team coordinates care with outside providers, such as rehabilitation and hospice organizations, to make sure every need is covered. Residents with memory conditions live in specially designed areas that reduce confusion, and every effort is made so that folks can bring their own things and keep their routines as much as they can. The community's won awards for its meals and resident happiness, and folks who live there often talk about the friendly, joyful staff and the strong sense of belonging. There's no pressure to participate, but for those who want an active, social, and comfortable place to call home, Settlers Place gives plenty of choices and support.
