Autumn Trace Rensselaer Assisted Living stands as a pet-friendly community designed for seniors, offering both independent and assisted living options with services tailored to each person's needs, so folks with cats or dogs will find a welcoming home here, and there's really no buy-in fee which helps folks to plan for monthly expenses, which start around $3,700 depending on room type and care level, and they let you pick from a range of floor plans, all with air conditioning, kitchenettes, wheelchair accessibility, and garden views, and you can expect Wi-Fi throughout the community, too. Many families appreciate that residents receive full support day or night, whether for daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication, and there's a 24-hour call system, resident assistants on-site around the clock, as well as nursing care for up to 16 hours each day, plus memory care and higher acuity care for those who need it, and when medication runs low, Walmart Pharmacy is right down the street, and Jasper County Hospital and Dr. Christopher Louck's office aren't far, either.
The place emphasizes comfort and independence, as there's no pressure-if someone likes gardening, there are outdoor courtyards and walking paths; if someone enjoys movies, they can find a cozy den for that, and if personal grooming matters, there's an on-site beauty salon and barber. Dining's made simple with restaurant-style meals, guest dinners, themed events, and room service options, with choices covering vegan, no-sodium, gluten-free, pureed, organic, kosher, low-sugar, and vegetarian preferences, all served at flexible hours, snacks and drinks available 24/7, and private rooms for family gatherings by reservation. Cleanliness is easy, too, because staff handle housekeeping weekly and linens get changed, while everyone can use the no-cost self-service laundry rooms any time.
Community life gets encouraged by a full-time activity director planning outings to restaurants, museums, concerts, and gardens, along with on-site events like bingo, book club, arts and crafts, church services, and holiday parties, which help people stay active and feel connected, and there's both resident-run and sponsor-led activities. There's a chapel or meditation room for spiritual needs, an on-site library for readers, ADA-compliant designs for accessibility, and staff who've lived in the area for years, which makes it feel homelike and familiar rather than clinical. Health and wellness are strengthened through specialized living features, exercise classes, and a program where residents can consult with a nurse as needed, and diet accommodations are respected.
Scheduled rides are available for shopping and medical appointments, maintenance is handled for all residences, and the community offers a supportive transition for new folks moving in, helping each person settle in at their pace. People often comment that the environment feels safe and supportive, with amenities aimed at promoting physical, mental, and social well-being, and community scores reflect positive feedback for safety, care, and general satisfaction. Residents and families can rely on a stable team and a care-focused approach, owing to 25 years' experience serving Indiana seniors, whether someone needs independent living with a maintenance-free lifestyle or more hands-on, adaptive care.
