Pines Village Retirement Communities sits at 3303 Pines Village Circle in Valparaiso, Indiana, and is the only nonprofit retirement community in Porter County for people aged 62 and older, and it's run by a local Board of Directors that always keeps resident care at the center of their decisions. The community offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Nursing Home living options, so the needs of many seniors with different care requirements get met in one place, and folks choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments depending on what works best for them. People hear about customizable assistance plans and specific care levels-like the dedicated memory care program-plus health services like nursing, medication support, podiatry, wound care, and occupational therapy, which help residents stay healthy while living as independently as possible.
The staff help with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, walking, and mobility, and residents with higher medical needs or memory support can get what matches their needs. The meal program offers chef-prepared meals in three different on-site dining rooms, with choices for private family gatherings or outdoor seating, and people say the nutrition and thoughtful dining staff make a difference with quality ingredients and a variety of options. Residents get transportation five days a week, plus accessible parking and a concierge service to help work out the details.
The community offers plenty of ways to stay involved, like social events, themed dinners, exercise classes, and art programs, and the property includes activity rooms, a fitness center, salons, an art gallery, gardens, walking paths, outdoor seating, courtyards, and event venues. Residents can bring pets, use washers and dryers, connect with the internet or cable TV, and appreciate features like housekeeping, property maintenance, a sprinkler system, and handicap-accessible spaces for privacy and safety.
Move-in policies and waiting lists are clear for new residents, and interested families can schedule in-person or virtual tours to see everything first-hand, and Pines Village belongs to the Olera network, which offers caregiver tips and advice on senior living choices. Residents at Pines Village and Meridian Woods get support for banking, emergency response, and education programs, and regular wellness and fitness programs aim to keep everyone active. The community helps seniors balance independence and privacy with timely support, and spaces are made for social connections, personal happiness, and easy access to healthcare if needed, so residents have room to enjoy life and feel at home.
