Village Green Active Sr Living sits on about 60 acres in Merrillville, Indiana, offering a community where seniors can live in comfort and focus on an active lifestyle, and it's owned and managed by A R Katz Management Inc. The place's made of several different housing choices like the Villas with cathedral ceilings and attached garages, the Shores with one and two-bedroom attached homes that come with patios and carports, and Garden Apartments in multi-level buildings with studio, one, or two-bedroom layouts-many have balconies and extra storage, and some buildings have elevators for easy access, so folks really can pick what suits their needs best whether it's a single apartment or a whole patio home. The campus aims to meet the needs of independent and active seniors and has a focus on social activities, daily events, and planned programs designed to help people stay active and make friends, so the community always feels lively and busy with daily scheduled transportation to take residents to appointments, shopping, or fun outings around town and the clubhouse serving as a busy spot for everyday gatherings.
Assisted living services are on hand for those who need some help, and the staff provides caregiving along with access to Alzheimer's care and long-term care, all while trying to let residents keep as much independence as possible, and because there's a variety of care options folks can get the personal support they need with home-cooked meals, housekeeping, linen service, and regular check-ins-all covered under senior living. The property has several unique amenities, such as a heated indoor pool that's now a banquet room and spaces that used to include a fishing lake, which are no longer available, but there are still plenty of outdoor common areas and fitness and recreation options, plus they allow pets so people don't have to leave their animals behind. Residents can join in community activities, social events, educational programs, and enjoy organized entertainment right onsite or take advantage of the scheduled transportation for more to do beyond the main grounds, while private garages let folks keep their cars if they like going out on their own.
The Merrillville location sits close to doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and local attractions, while the staff-who are specially trained to serve seniors in both independent and assisted living-work to make each resident comfortable and see that they have choices in daily routines and living arrangements, so there's a real sense of freedom without the stress of home ownership. Overall, Village Green Active Sr Living is a retirement community for older adults who want a safe, worry-free place to live, with options for how much help they need, plenty of ways to stay busy and social, and a setting that keeps independence in focus. The community also has sister properties like Deer Glen, Forest Pointe, Huntington Square, Briarcliff, and Shagbark, and features like two and three-story garden apartments with elevator service, attached home layouts, and more than one type of space for people to choose from, all under the management of a company that runs similar communities in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
