American Senior Communities

Most employees are friendly and nice. Slight odor in hallway. Maybe shampooing would help. I like the food. It would be nice not to have to put the cup in the air, sometimes I just give up.

Nice facility and staff. A little costly for what we were looking for, but location was good. Facility gives off a bit of a nursing facility vibe. May prove difficulty in adjusting for someone looking for a little more independence.

I think, overall, Rosewalk is a decent facility. I think my mom feels safe and secure, which is huge. One area that concerns me is the quality and availability of food items. If you don't get there early, (4pm for dinner), they run out of entrees, desserts, just about everything. The food is frequently served cold, whether it be meat or a frozen waffle barely unfrozen. Frequently on weekends, they will have run out of any kind of pastry, muffin, English muffin, etc. for what we are paying, there should be other options than toast. Another area of concern is that in the evening, the front door is locked at 7 p.m. This is fine in regard to safety, but I have experienced myself and witnessed others standing outside and waiting for someone to open the door. It has been cold and dark (think about the weather this winter), and literally elderly people are waiting for 10-15 minutes to get in. They rely on the 3rd floor nurses to come down and open the door, and either they are busy or not very expedient. Overall, I think people are nice and attentive, especially the LPN's and aides.

My aunt was here and my mom was here for three or four years before her. In fact, my mom was one of the first people enrolled. When my mother was here it went very well then my mom passed away and my aunt was still there, she had a couple of issues here. They found her on the floor all beat up and she was taken to the emergency room before we got there, we never knew what happened and they didn't know either. They said she had fallen and hit furniture but we were a little weary after that. We did notice my aunt was worsening, she was in assisted living when they decided that she should go into the alzheimers unit after that incidident but they gave us 24 hours to either move her in or leave and we didn't think that was considerate. It was very good to my mother but my mother didn't have any mental problem so she was able to tell us what was happening.

Was good, but didn't think it was good for Mom at all and wasn't really sold on it for Dad.

Very nice but concerned about socialization, and getting to the dining room in bad weather. We did not get to eat there, so don't know about the food.

My mother was only here for three weeks, it's skilled nursing. The sotry [removed] my mom has ms and my dad had pancreatic cancer and he was in the process of trying to get medicaid for her but he passed before he could do that so we needed to find a place for her. I wasn't a big fan of this place, the smell. It had that nursing home smell and she hated having a roommate and I was there a lot at dinner time and I didn't feel like, not just my mom, but that any of them were getting waited on fast enough.

My comment would be: Assisted Living is ok if your loved one doesn't need any individualized attention to their needs and has minimal dementia behaviors. Memory Care is an absolute disaster unless your patient is placid and docile. The limited staff and administrators have no tolerance, training, or understanding for falls or advanced dementia behaviors. If you love them, find a more suitable facility at the beginning rather than risk getting "dumped" when your family member needs care most.

Hopefully new ownership, new management, new caregivers will improve everything. I haven't seen improvements yet so at the moment we would not recommend this community to other families.

Beech Grove Meadows and Garden Homes is slow to respond to maintenance issues. It took 3 months to fix a shower valve, missing backsplash and two weeks to get a trash collection can. Mom wants to look for another place to live. Turnover of helpers has been an on-going issue here. The maintenance crew it not good at following up or resolving problems. They lack basic skills. They over-promised and under-delivered which is common.

The tour guide was cold and she didn't interact with the residents during the tour. The community felt dark.

Anthology's staff was not very friendly and the person we set up a tour with was a no show and no one else was available for us. We did not go back after being turned away.

I was not impressed with this facility at all. The appearance was between a Nursing home and a hospital. Wheelchairs were everywhere...in the halls. There is not enough room in the actual patient rooms to keep the wheelchairs inside the rooms. Patients have to share rooms and there is just a curtain separating the patients.....yes patients. It was set up more like a hospital than a home. I would not want to live in a hospital. It just seemed like a place to warehouse the elderly.

My dad died as a result of a fall in their parking lot. If it hadn’t been for a kitchen worker going out for a smoke, god knows how long he would have been lying in that parking lot. They are all happy happy when they lure you in- even using their residents singing to a pianist to seal the deal. They can only handle the elderly that don’t need much assistance beyond a substantial meal

Area too congested.

After visiting this facility with my wife, as my father in law is currently a resident there, I can't believe how dirty it is, how bad it stinks, what they serve as food, and how difficult it is to reach someone if there is a problem. I see reviews that employees of the facility have posted, but they are not the ones that are being held [Removed] and treated like third class citizens. Horrible place.

I had a decent tour of this facility. The staff was friendly and nice. The appearance of the community could had looked better. The cleanliness of the facility could use some improvements. It was not the community for us.

Everything looked very nice on the tour, but the level of service once you move in doesn't live up to what they presented. There appear to be issues with staff turnover, and they seem understaffed in general. Based on our experience I would not recommend Zionsville Meadows.

Too much of a nursing home feel.

This facility is old and needs updated. Most activities take place in the dining room, as the public areas are small/non-existent. Had an odor.
