A new opportunity for assisted living opened this month on Fishers’ southwest side.
Allisonville Meadows Assisted Living Apartments, 10410 Allisonville Rd., is a new facility that offers nurses on a 24 hour per day, 7 days per week basis amongst many other features including restaurant style dining, transportation to activities, doctor appointments and other locales and more.
“Our goal is to assist our residents with anything at home that might be a safety risk or that they’re struggling with in their average daily life – dressing, bathing, meals, housekeeping,” Cathy Bertling, director of leasing, said. “We can provide a minimal amount of assist to a maximum amount of assist, so there’s a wide range of the things we can help people with.”
The multi-building complex boasts 89 apartments. General Manager Annjee Kirstein said the organization hoped to open an assisted living memory care unit this year.
Kirstein said there are a variety of floor plans for the apartments, including within the memory care unit.
“Basically, this is like any other home, with the exception that we’re here for safety purposes,” Bertling said. “Our residents can come and go as they like. There’s no type of restriction on their lifestyle, as far as that goes.”
“We tailor our services around the residents’ needs,” Kirstein said.
The rent base for a studio apartment is $2,290 per month, and its basic care level starts at $400 per month.
Bertling said the rent also includes emergency pendants for its residents.
“We want to encourage them to call when they (residents) need us,” Bertling said.
When asked what one of the greatest draws Allisonville Meadows has, Bertling and Kirstein said the food itself is one of them.
Bertling said residents have followed the chef to the community.
It’s the newest property operated by American Senior Communities, according to Kirstein.
“It’s also about kind of starting a new chapter in their life,” Bertling said. “I know a lot of times seniors are at home and their friends either pass or move away. This is kind of a way to build a new social life to fill their day.”
