Staff are friendly and keep residents busy with activities.

Continually work to provide the best care possible

We're very happy with Independence Village Fishers South. We went up there one day, we had lunch with my aunt, and the food was good, and all the attendants that worked there were very friendly and very helpful. A situation arose with one of the patients and we weren't quite sure what to do. They were right there and they knew how to handle it and handled it very well. It's a very nice place, all the rooms are nice, and when you go in, you have to sign in so they'll know who's there and they give you little badges to wear, so they'll know you're a visitor and stuff. So I kind of like that. They have a calendar they print out every month. They can go to church on Sunday and they have music. They bring someone in that they can attend to, and they have basketball, and chair volleyball and they have people that come in and sing and they even have a happy hour if someone chooses that. They play cards and they just do all kinds of activities. They did a Father's Day cookout if you wanted to go there and be a part of that, and then they did a little 4th of July thing. They're always active, doing stuff. Since she's in memory care, the main door is locked to her side. It's kind of like a U-shape that goes around. And then there's one door that goes to a patio out there on her side where she can go, but they can't get out to the main street. That's kind of nice for the ones that have memory care, and there are techs, or nurses, or care people always on the floor looking for them and checking on them in their rooms. If you're visiting, they'll just stick their head in and say hi and stuff. But in her room, she has a big closet so they can bring stuff, and she has room for her queen bed, and she has a full-size dresser and a lounge chair in her room. And then they have a huge bathroom with a shower that you can put a shower chair for them in and big enough for a wheelchair to go in if you needed a wheelchair. I feel very comfortable with her being there.

I thought that Independence Village of Fishers South is nice, although it's too many miles from my home. As far as the facility, it was good and I like that they only have 25 rooms in their memory care, so it's a smaller group. I like the activities they have planned for them, I liked that they have a podiatrist, an ear doctor that comes in regularly. Then if you use the doctor that works with them, there's a practitioner that checks in with all their patients every Monday, and I like that a lot too. The hallways and community spaces, living room, dining room, and activity room, all needed to be more bright and open. That'll be the only thing.
