Residences at Deer Creek seem more spacious than the other place we toured. That was my only concern, that my mom would seem to have to walk around a lot of places, but they had nurses' stations on the floors which were nice. The staff member who showed me around was very good. It seems laid out in a way that it's spread out, more theater versus more compact. It's more like a square, and it seemed Deer Creek was spread out in a straight line, kind of. The residents can do their laundry and they had restaurant-style dining. The dining looked really good, and we just couldn't sample what they had because of protocols for COVID. They had activities and different things like bingo, puzzles, and activities on each floor. It seemed they had a puzzle being worked on one floor, and some crafts. They seemed very well-organized, and they had movie nights and different things.

My mom moved into Residences at Deer Creek assisted living. She's really happy there, everybody's been friendly and helpful, even with the move and everything. They're there for everything. They check on her, see if she needs anything. They take her down to the dining room and if she wants to eat in her room, she can eat in her room. It seems like there's a lot of people just there helping and trying to make sure that she has a good experience and everything that she wants to do.
She went to bingo the first day. Everybody is very polite and helpful. Even the days that I've been there setting up to move in, getting my mom ready, and putting some things together, they've been there to help with the whole thing. I mean, they've helped me with anything that I needed.
It's assisted living. The apartment could be furnished however you want to. She's got a 1-bedroom and I think she was happy about that. They have studios and 1-bedrooms. Her bedroom is nice and big and it enters right directly into the bathroom from the bedroom. It's a big bathroom and no step-in shower. It's got a seat in there and there's no ledge or anything. It's set up very well. She's got a living room area, kitchenette area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The kitchen and the living area are combined but there's plenty of room for her and enough room to have the stuff that she had that she enjoys.
They have a rehab department and they got a big rehab room. They played bingo and different games. They have a craft area where they can do different crafts and they have somebody coordinate that. I haven't seen it, but I know they even put out a menu for the restaurant daily so that the residents know what the special for the day is. My mom went down and ate at the dinner table yesterday for dinner and she had codfish and shrimp. They have a chef there and the food is pretty good.
I had a little bit of breakfast today and it was like you would get in a restaurant. It was good quality. I guess they also make omelets and Belgian waffles. I think they set up a big thing for breakfast down there. They even said you can put strawberries on the waffles. It's fine dining, really and it's pretty attractive.
I thought it was really neat. When you walk in the front door, there is the reception area and it's a big lobby. Off to the left is a bistro there and then ahead is this big dining room. There are nice tables where you can sit in a nice big area.
Everything is invoiced at the end of the month, which I thought was very nice. If somebody wants to go on dinner with someone, they just go and it gets invoiced.
She's pretty happy there. She was nervous at first because she didn't know what to expect. She was just really impressed when she walked into that place. She couldn't believe that it's that impressive.

We really like Residences at Deer Creek. They have a nice facility. They have a lot of options for the residents in terms of what to eat. It is restaurant-style dining, so they can order what they want. They have a lot of great activities and outdoor meeting places, which I really like.
One of the things that I really like the most would be the different community spaces. I also really like that they have a big library with tons of books and puzzles. The residents can check out them out and bring to their rooms. I like the fact that they are allowing them to take them out to their rooms.

My father is in a beautiful apartment and could not be happier. The staff is very engaging and really do care about the great lifestyle that they provide to each resident. It is truly a resort for seniors with superior health care support. I would like to thank Paul Martino for assisting our family and my father in making the transition to Deer Creek. We could not have made this terrific lifestyle choice for my father without Paul's attention to detail and tireless efforts.
Accordingly, I highly recommend The Residences at Deer Creek.

My moms transition has been very smooth. A very home like atmosphere. I can’t say enough about the staff. They are absolutely amazing and helpful. They assisted you in all matters even in the mist of this covid pandemic. Food has been really tasty my mom has said.

The tour at Residences at Deer Creek was very good. The community is very nice, clean, and seemed to be well run. It was quiet when we were there, and the employees and residents we interacted with seemed friendly. The staff member who showed us around was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a calendar of activities, we looked at the activity rooms, and the dining room we saw was open, clean, and felt comfortable.

Food and service are very good and 99% of staff is kind, patient and caring. The studio is nice size with kitchen sink, cabinets, fridge and microwave. Nice bathroom with walk in shower. They have a nice variety of outings as well as activities but is is difficult to fight stereotypical bingo, etc. The grounds are nicely kept. This is far better than the facility my parents had been living in. Moving was hard but well worth it.

Communication is sometimes lacking and cleanliness is questionable at times. Staff is super and caring.

My mother is now a resident at Residences at Deer Creek and the people there are very good. They're more than attentive and they're doing what they said they were going to do. My mother thinks they don't have enough staff members, but I think that comes with the territory in terms of assisted living places. She's in the independent living there but she's also getting extra assistance. Her room is wonderful, and the staff members are very nice even though they put up with a lot. The food is wonderful, the dining area is welcoming, and the dining staff is very attentive. The quality of the food and what they provide for the residents is absolutely wonderful. It's the first time my mother has gone anywhere that she didn't complain about the food. She goes to play bingo and watch movies, and she likes participating when they do balloon volleyball and things like that. She's doing physical therapy and they're working with her, so that's perfect. They have a lot of activities. My mother can't deal with them right now due to her condition, but she's looking forward to it.

Both of my parents lived here. I was very pleased with everything. Mom and Dad were well looked after and I always got a call if anything was going on. Their apartment was comfortable and the bathroom quite large. I had lunch or dinner with them often and found the food and service as good as any restaurant. The staff was very responsive and helpful. Any time I had a problem, it was solved very quickly. There were lots of activities and entertainment brought in regularly. The hair salon was awesome and mom was always pleased. I always felt like family there and made many friends with staff and residents alike.

Outstanding facility. From the initial presentation to the actual care, everything is handled compassionately, professional, on time and accurate.
Rooms are clean with appropriate space. Activities are plentiful. Nursing staff is on top of any medical issue. The housing and maintenance are very responsive.

I volunteer here every two weeks and got a personal tour of the place. The facility is amazing and the staff is just wonderful. I would definitely recommend it for everyone.

Since the first day that our mom moved into Residences at Deer Creek we knew that she was safe and in the company of a very knowledgeable, caring staff. Everyone from the front office, nurses, maintenance, aides, dining room and cleaning staffs have been very kind and considerate. Not only to the residents, but also to the visitors.
We researched and visited numerous, similar facilities around the region and none compared with Deer Creek.
There are many activities, entertainment and just friendly conversation to brighten her day. She loves the food that is served in the award winning dining room and the fact that the doctor and podiatrist visit her right in her apartment. Her other favorite feature is having a beauty salon in the facility.
Thank you for everything you do. You are the best.

The Residences was my favorite, and I would put my mom there. It had a lot of nice activities, the staff was super friendly, and it had a very nice setting. I liked how they combined the independent living with the assisted living. As you have more needs, you can stay in the same room, and you can get more care.

My dad as lived in assisted living at Deer Creek for 6 months. He is VERY happy here. And we, his children, are are also quite pleased with everyone and everything that DC represents. Having been through the nursing home experience with my mother, I was a bit skeptical of any facility. Well, Deer Creek quickly changed my mind. I can't say enough good things about them and that's the honest truth.
When people ask my father what he thinks about living here, the first thing he says is how wonderful the staff is and provides examples, and I can attest to this. I visit for a couple of hours at a time 3-4 times per week. The ENTIRE staff is RESPECTFUL, friendly, kind, caring and professional. AND helpful; I haven't observed staff or visitors running the other direction when a resident is in need of some help. The nurses and CNAs are the very best. They provide me with peace of mind knowing my dad is under their care.
Staff is consistently pleasant and upbeat! So far, I haven't detected when staff is having a bad day--really.
The maintenance staff are awesome, too! They have made some modifications to my father's apartment to better meet his needs, for example, added an extra grab bar in the bathroom as well as removed the lamp shades in his bathroom so the light would be brighter.
I've eaten many meals at DC; the food is exceptional and my father thinks so as well. One of the meals he looks forward to is having a bowl of their homemade soup everyday. The desserts are out of this world.
My father's apartment is clean, the garbage cans are emptied twice a day, bed linens and clothing are washed per his schedule. He is bathed twice a week as well. He gets his hair and fingernails cut at the DC salon, which is a huge help to me.
As my father tells everyone who asks, "There is always something to do, if you want to do it". There are activities planned throughout the day, 7 days per week (the activity schedule is actually followed). He's into music and has praised the musical performances of those who have entertained them to date. The family nights are fun and something our family enjoys participating in.
My father and I have developed a fond affection for the staff and residents at Deer Creek. I hope you come for a visit and experience the same things.

My dad has been at Deer Creek for three months in the memory support wing. It is the best thing we have done for him. The staff have been so welcoming and supportive. It was difficult to kale this decision but they were so helpful and compassionate, and continue to be so. The activities are wonderful and led by great people. Dad has rallied at Deer Creek due to the excellent care, great food, and all the activities and interaction with other people. We are so very pleased. It is a blessing.

My Aunt and Uncle had looked at all Assisted Living Residences in Northwest Indiana and Chose Deer Creek. They even waited until the right apartment became available. They love it, they love the food, they love the people and I love the care they receive and the piece of mind. The staff is outstanding and I cant say enough good things about Residences at Deer Creek

My father has lived at Residences of Deer Creek for 2 years and just recently another family member has also moved in. The care and consideration provided by staff to those living in Deer Creek is beyond anything I have ever experienced.

We moved our mom into Deer Creek. The experience has been good. One of the reason I picked them is because they are very close to our house, so it is easy for me to go visit my mom whenever I want. It is a happy atmosphere. It is open, and visitors can come and go. They keep track of the people that stay there. They have lots of social programs. The food is good. It is nice.
The have bingo and exercise multiple times during the day. They have dances and people that come over and sing for them. They have entertainments. They have gardens and outside field trips. Every Thursday, they have a bus that takes everyone to the store. I ate there couple of times, and the food is very good. They have a special for the day that changes every day. They also have a menu where they have about 6 to 8 dishes that are the same for the whole month, and those are the entrees. They have another page of sandwiches you can pick from and another page of different salads. They can eat anything that they want, as much as they want, between 7 in the morning until 7 at night.

It may look nice but the memory care unit staff is lacking in
communication skills and common sense. For the amount of money paid monthly, you shouldn't have to constantly follow up to make sure the staff does what they should.
Unimpressed with the management and their ability to address the family's concerns.

Residences at Deer Creek is a new facility. The rooms are nice and clean. The light is good. However, they do not furnish their apartments, and you have to bring your own furniture. Also, they don't have a kitchen. They have a dining area, where they have a wait staff that will bring your meals to you. You have a menu for the meal, and you choose an entrée, a side, and a dessert. All of that is included in the cost.
