Miller's Senior Living Community has served older adults in Portage, Indiana since 1964, and people say the sense of community is friendly and helpful, with staff who are described as wonderful and willing to go above and beyond. The place has both Assisted Living and Independent Living options, so seniors can get support when they want, from just upkeep-free living with activities to extra help with everyday tasks like dressing, showering, and medication management. Residents have a choice of studio and one-bedroom apartments that are roomy, safe, and come with kitchenettes, big refrigerators, freezers, and microwaves, and there are wide hallways for easy movement. The apartments don't require long-term leases, so there's some flexibility with living arrangements. The community has indoor common areas, lovely landscaping, and scenic views, and has a reputation for being a bit more upscale and elegant than the average place.
There's a structured schedule of daily activities, including bingo, card games, outings, and programs that encourage everyone to be active and social, with a library that includes a reader machine and internet. Residents can count on continental breakfast and two restaurant-style meals each day, plus tray service to rooms when needed, so people don't have to worry about meal prep. The staff provides laundry assistance on weekends, keeps up medication reminders, and helps with things like transferring from bed to wheelchair. Individuals who live here can get help with managing diabetes and incontinence care, though the facility doesn't do insulin injections. Standby transfer help is available, and there's 24-hour awake staff, nightly checkups, emergency call systems, and attendants always on duty to make sure someone's there whenever needed.
Miller's gives respite care and hospice services, and can handle light to medium care needs, though it doesn't provide heavy care. They support residents aged 55 and older, working hard to maintain everyone's independence while giving support where and when required. You'll find transportation for doctor's appointments and outings, a hair salon on-site, and a steady calendar of things to do. Personal care attendants encourage mobility and social activity, always paying attention to each resident's own needs. Miller's is known for its complete mix of services, senior-friendly design, and a holistic approach that helps people live as fully and independently as possible, which some folks have appreciated over the years.
