Aspen Prairie Homes sits at 10713 E. Lakeshore Dr, Carmel, IN 46033, in a quiet, secure area with easy access to six hospitals, two theaters, four places of worship, one transportation option, 22 restaurants, 24 physicians, 19 pharmacies, five parks, and five cafes, so residents can get around or have visitors over without much trouble, and the place itself is a one-level, single-family ranch-style home built back in 1975 but since then updated with a new kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, new furnace, and laundry area, along with new exterior paint done in 2021 and landscaping completed in 2024, plus Pella windows and sliders installed in 2008 for added comfort. The home comes with three private bedrooms, two baths, a common living room, laminate flooring from 2015, a fireplace with a gas log for heating and comfort in the colder months, and a deck for sitting outside, and a fenced backyard with a full rear fence for privacy or letting a pet out since cats and dogs are allowed.
Residents get private rooms and use shared spaces, with everything needed on one level, and there's a main level laundry with washer and dryer, plus appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and a water softener, so chores stay manageable, and the house has a slab foundation, a two-car garage with keyless entry, and a new well tank and pump for watering flowers or grass. The place belongs to the Chapel Ridge community near Carmel Clay schools, so there's access to HOA amenities, including a clubhouse, tennis courts, swimming pool, lake, walking paths, bike trails, and even the Chapel Ridge Golf Course, offering Tee Time information and more.
Aspen Prairie Homes isn't a big nursing home but rather provides what's called "board and care" in a residential setting, meaning three to five residents live together in a small home and get 24-hour help from experienced, live-in caregivers who help with dressing, bathing, meals, and other daily needs, all while trying to keep the feeling like a family home. The unique names for services or programs add a touch that helps folks feel more at home, though every care type - residential (24-hour) care, companion services, day care, respite stays, "pop in" service, and care management - gets offered to match the level of help needed. Seniors get help but keep their dignity since the house is designed for comfort, independence, and peace, and close transportation and parking make it easier for people to come and go or visit. Aspen Prairie Homes also has special features for supporting independence, like simplified accessibility, private spaces, and updated interiors, and the covenants and restrictions in the neighborhood help keep things orderly and secure, with the Home Owners' Association managing shared amenities. Those features, along with amenities like modern private bedrooms, a remodeled kitchen, pet-friendly options, and an easy-to-navigate backyard, aim to make life simple and comfortable for seniors who want more support without living in a large facility.
