Altenheim Family-first Senior Living sits on 32 acres of pretty lawns in the Beech Grove area of Indianapolis, Indiana, and has been serving seniors since 1977 as part of the CarDon family of communities, with a gentle "family-first" approach that encourages family involvement in care plans. The campus offers several options like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, long-term care, memory support called Memory Support at The Neighborhood, rehabilitation, home health, adult day care, and even on-site dialysis. People can choose garden homes with attached garages and patios, assisted living apartments with living rooms, dining spaces, and kitchens, or join the dedicated memory care wing that's built for safety and peace of mind with custom plans for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and peaceful common areas and outdoor courtyards with walking paths, gardens, ponds, and fountains.
Staff are on site 24-hours a day, trained to provide help with bathing, dressing, medication, skilled nursing care, and all the little things like laundry, weekly housekeeping, trash removal, and move-in help, along with laundry and linen services, scheduled transportation, and a 24-hour emergency response system in every residence for safety. The list of amenities goes on with indoor and outdoor social areas, a wellness center for exercise, a therapy gym with equipment for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, a salon and barbershop, a chapel with an organ and piano for spiritual needs, and even restaurant-style dining rooms with round tables, linens, and good natural light from those big windows that are easy on the eyes. Residents can stop by the on-site café or store for snacks or gifts, enjoy patios with comfy seating and grills, or walk along those paved paths by the fishing pond and picnic spots.
The staff make sure there's always something going on, from social and educational activities to outings and entertainment, art and board games in the activity room, or devotional gatherings and beautician services for a bit of pampering. Families and residents get support from a "family" of team members-people who know senior care and are happy to talk you through questions, with resources like the "Journey to Senior Living" guide. The community brings together people for friendship, learning, and well-being, and features nice open spaces, brick buildings, and landscaped gardens made for enjoying the outdoors. Altenheim Family-first Senior Living keeps a good balance of independence and help, quiet time and activity, tailored for what each person needs under that Family-first philosophy.
