Sunrise on Old Meridian sits as a senior living community offering several options for older adults, from independent living and assisted living to memory care, skilled nursing, and respite stays, and the building's got a look that feels as comfortable as a hotel but runs with the understanding and routine of a retirement community. There are studio, single-room, and two-bedroom apartments available, and these often have their own bathrooms, kitchenettes, and storage spaces, while some companion suites carry a living room or even a small dining table, so families and visitors feel welcome too, and a person can always find a setup that fits their needs best. Residents can bring pets, which adds comfort for many, and the community includes a garden, a patio, and even an underground garage for parking, which sure helps during Indiana winters or visits from family. There's a gym for people wanting to keep up their strength and regular group activities in the bistro, game rooms, library, or common rooms, so social life stays strong and there's always someone around to chat with or share a meal.
If someone wants to, they can join a club, read in the living room, get a haircut at the salon, or participate in spiritual programs, book clubs, or outings to movies, shopping, and restaurants, and there are always daily fitness and creative classes happening somewhere. Nurses visit each month to check on health needs while staff assist with dressing, bathing, and grooming, and medication help is available, along with wound care and more specialized tasks, which covers a lot of health bases. Memory care comes with trained caregivers and programs like Reminiscence and the Terrace Club, and the staff know how to help people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, which gives families peace of mind, and you'll also see plenty of personal care assistants around the clock.
The kitchen staff cook up to three balanced meals a day for everyone, and you can get snacks throughout the day if you need them, and residents can choose from independent living with a maintenance-free approach, to more hands-on options for those who need help with transfers, mobility equipment, or complicated needs like modified diets. Medical support is nearby with partnerships connecting the community to Indiana University Health North Hospital, St. Vincent Hospital, St. Vincent Carmel, and Franciscan Health, and there are therapy services for speech, physical, and occupational needs plus doctors that visit, so people don't have to go far when something comes up.
Families appreciate regular housekeeping, weekly laundry, and daily trash removal, all good things to avoid chores and keep spaces tidy, and there's an emergency response system plus controlled entry for safety. There's transportation seven days a week for appointments or shopping trips, and the maintenance crew keeps the building and outdoor areas in order, so folks really can focus more on living well than worrying about upkeep. Sunrise on Old Meridian keeps a holistic approach, emphasizing resident preferences and a relationship-based style of care that tries to meet individual wants, whether that's extra support, more activities, or more quiet time, and sometimes all you really do want is the peace of knowing staff are there day or night.
For those who need short-term stays or respite while a caregiver takes a break, or hospice care with emotional and physical support, those services are provided too. The Reminiscence memory care neighborhood is thoughtfully laid out for safety and comfort, and there's help available for two-person transfers, Hoyer lifts, and people needing higher levels of nursing support. The community's run on the Masterpiece Living philosophy to promote successful aging, and in so many ways, it tries to cover every stage of retirement, from independent living and companionship to skilled nursing and personal care, and what's nice is that staff seem to have a long history, with over 35 years working with Indiana's seniors and families.
Residents pay month-to-month, and family support groups meet regularly in the theater room. Rooms may come furnished, and both private and semi-private options are available, so people can move in when ready and find a space that's comfortable, with cable TV and washers and dryers included. Small details like on-site salon appointments, garage parking, a bistro, social clubs, and a close relationship with area hospitals mean that Sunrise on Old Meridian has turned into a place where seniors can enjoy a variety of care levels without leaving the familiar surroundings of the same campus.
