Colonial Assisted Living Comm sits at 1622 S Hart Street Rd in Vincennes, Indiana, where it's been serving residents since 2000, and the place really feels like a close-knit community where everyone gets to know each other before too long. The rooms come in studio and one-bedroom options, so residents can choose what fits them, with the one-bedroom costing $2,575 a month and the studio $1,965, and there's a second person fee of $500 per month if two people share an apartment. Each apartment has walk-in closets and patios, and the entire facility is on one level, which makes it easier to get around for everyone, whether they use a wheelchair or just want to avoid the stairs, and the whole place is handicap accessible, including the indoor and outdoor spaces like the enclosed courtyard that's nice for pets since both cats and dogs are welcome to live with their owners. Each resident gets their own private apartment, and there are spacious sitting areas, elegant dining rooms, a beauty salon, and Wi-Fi access for those who enjoy being online.
Colonial Assisted Living Comm has 24-hour awake staff and nurses on site to help with daily needs like bathing, grooming, medication assistance, laundry, linens, and regular housekeeping, and they're there to give standby help with transfers or moving from bed to wheelchair if someone needs it. They're able to accommodate people who can manage their own incontinence and help residents monitor their blood sugar levels, though they can't deliver insulin shots. The staff provides care mostly for people needing a medium level of assistance, but not for those who require light or heavy care.
Meals are prepared on-site, and residents have the choice of eating in elegant dining rooms or in their rooms, with options for table service or room service, and the kitchen can adjust meals for special diets or personal tastes. There are special dining programs and private dining areas for more personal meals. The activity director keeps things lively with dances, trivia, social activities, and trips offsite for concerts, plays, movies, and other field trips, and there's always transportation available for these outings. National Assisted Living Week gets celebrated every year with events like Carnival Day and Western Day, and there are regular devotional services held offsite for those who want them.
The facility isn't a traditional long-term care home but offers a wide range of supportive services with a focus on comfort and a sense of community, and people seem to appreciate the safety aspect, as there's an emergency call system in place to get help when needed. Home Health Care and on-site rehabilitation are both available through outside agencies. Residents pay through private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, and insurance, so there are different options depending on their needs and situation. The grounds are landscaped, the indoor spaces are designed for socializing and relaxing, and touring the place can give a good sense of daily life, dining, and activities. Everything adds up to a community that works to make life easier and more comfortable for seniors, with enough activities, care, and support to give a feeling of belonging.
