Zionsville Meadows is a senior living community in Zionsville, Indiana, that offers assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, memory care, and respite care, and it's found close to shopping centers, restaurants, and full-service hospitals like IU Health North and St. Vincent on 86th Street, so trips for errands and medical appointments are pretty easy, and folks who need emergency health care have quick access. The campus has garden homes with attached garages and sunrooms, as well as apartments with open floor plans, full kitchens, walk-in closets, and either private or semi-private rooms, and there are services that cover everything from cooking and cleaning to personal care like bathing and medication help. Residents eat three meals a day in a big dining room or can ask for meal delivery to their rooms, and the place does restaurant-style dining all day, so people never have to worry about eating on a schedule if that's a challenge.
The gardens and walking paths give people a place to get outside, while inside there's a computer room, TV lounge for movies, entertainment spaces, and regular social or hobby programs like table games, crafts, music, reading, and horticulture, so it's hard to feel at a loss for something to do, and the THRIVE Wellness Program and New Energy Wellness programs keep folks moving with low-impact exercises that work on strength, balance, and agility for older adults, and if someone needs to keep up with rehab, there's a Moving Forward Rehabilitation program with outpatient therapy focused on restoring health after an injury or surgery, and that covers physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
The facility is staffed 24/7 with nurses (part time), caregivers, and therapy staff, and the care philosophy follows the C.A.R.E. model that emphasizes compassion and attentiveness, with a full care continuum so residents can move between independent, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and even hospice as needs change over time, and there are memory care apartments that keep folks safe with structured, supportive programs. Zionsville Meadows allows pets, but no small dogs or cats, and there's always a response system and 24-hour security in place, so residents can feel safe, and the building provides most utilities except for telephone, with cable and Wi-Fi throughout so people can stay connected.
If families want to visit, there are guest parking spaces and overnight guest options, and if someone needs a break, short-term respite care is available. The place also includes a beauty salon and barber shop, general store, fitness and wellness rooms, religious services, and community town hall meetings where residents can have a say. Transportation for errands and scheduled medical appointments is included along with weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance-free living, such as snow and trash removal, so day-to-day chores are taken care of.
Special features include financial guidance, move-in help through SMART Solutions, meal plans, outpatient therapy with attention to inflammation and pain, medication reminders, on-site pharmacy, and a program called "Road to Recovery" that helps folks and their families plan for going home after a hospital stay. Zionsville Meadows is run by American Senior Communities, which works to keep the services connected for seniors, and although it's won awards like 2nd place in the 2025 Best Assisted Living for Suburban North Indy, the focus always stays on making life comfortable, clean, safe, and engaging for older adults at whatever stage of care they need, and there's a 100% satisfaction guarantee for new residents with a refund within 90 days, though respite and short-term leases aren't part of that. The staff provides care that's meant to be personal, and there's an emphasis on letting people keep as much independence as possible, along with all the support they might need.
