Our Experience
My loved one is a resident at Grand Emerald Place and things have been good overall. However, some of the nurses are not as friendly as others. It depends on day shift and night shift, both are ruder and some are just not friendly. Also, I personally would never eat the food there. It all looks the same and it's never a balance meal no veggies and they use a half of a banana as dessert or like 5 grapes. Weird. The activity director is great. It's too bad they don't have temp work or volunteers on weekends to help keep them active. I think the money that is paid should come with more interaction with higher up. If we find a water leak it shouldn't take 2 weeks to fix it. My mom is a different circumstance with her memory. I just think better communication would help between us and management.

Pretty Nice
I appreciate how friendly everybody is. Most of the time the care is okay. Getting my loved one to keep the fall detector lanyard on her neck has been a challenge, but that's not on them. They have a back patio, and I think they're going to be having a garden. And the inside is pretty nice.

Our family had an in person tour and we were so impressed with the staff that greeted us and showed us around. It was a high top contender, but there was just a few more extra amenities that another community had that this one did not. Other than that it was a great experience.

It's Pretty Decent
I would recommend the community to others to other's for their loved ones. Overall we are happy with our experience here. This is a smaller community and allows the staff to get to know the residents on a personal level. Everyone is friendly. There have been times the community hasn't been able to accommodate the dietary restrictions of my loved one.

My review of Grand Emerald Place (Enlivant)
We were able to do an in person tour twice, the first time there were not covid restrictions so we were able to see the residents out and about. The second time had restrictions and they were actually in a bit of a lock down so we did not get to see the resident. We did however get to see two different model rooms and walk through the different facilities they had. It is a very nice place, but it was just not the right place for our loved one. With her dementia to get to the dining room she would of had to gone from her room to the elevator, downstairs and to the dining room. We were worried she would get lost, and we did not know if someone would accompany her. Also right by the elevator was a stairwell, which also made us afraid if we didn't choose the elevator that she would get lost in the stairwell or even fall.

A Great Place to Put Your Loved One to Be Safe and Happy
It is a beautiful community. The staff take care of the residents, and are great here. They keep the residents busy with activities. They have brain teasers, games, bingo, corn hole, and more for the residents to choose from. The communication with the staff is great. They are responsive to changes and requests. They have a new director in place. My loved one really likes the food.

Great Smaller Community With a Home-Like Feel
We've found they've been very caring about best care possible in a smaller, individualized environment. We were thrilled that they had a good Covid protocol. It seems like Coivid-wise, they're in a good place. They're still offering activities. In the Fall they had a sing along with residents inside, and a couple of family members outside per resident, and they served hot chocolate and cookies. We observed the activities director coming in one-on-one offering crafting activities. The family has been able to go in a couple of times for visits, two of us at a time. We were pleased to see photos of our loved one around the Holidays where she was sitting next to other residents, wearing a little Christmas hat, and she was smiling and looked so happy. That made us feel so good. We love that the staff have fun with the residents, for example doing elf on the shelf. If there are care services they don't offer on-site, they were able to authorize off-site care for her. Once safe with Covid, they'll be offering more on-site services like haircutting, etc. When small issues have arisen, they have been in touch, and we've felt like we've worked through the issue together to a satisfactory result. There's only about 60 units here, with room for about 77 residents, and that really spoke volumes to us about the more direct attention our loved one has received. When our loved one needs something, they let us know right away. Whenever we've needed anything, they've bent over backwards to help.

I talked with [name removed] and this community does not have a memory care option. But [name removed] said their Michigan City community has a dedicated memory care building and [names removed] will call me. Michigan City is too far away but a good memory care option is very important so I’m keeping the MC community on the plate!

Don't go there
Food is terrible and portions are skimpy. Residents rarely if ever receive their choice from the pre-selected menu because there isn't enough, there weren't sufficient ingredients to make an item, or the cook was "off" and someone else is filling in. Consequently, meat is predominately "processed" and fruit/vegetables are either from a box or can. There is a shortage of staff so basic housekeeping of residents is random or non-existent.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Indiana regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Indiana regulations for Assisted Living.
