Wittenberg Village, a CCRC in Crown Point, IN
4.1

I moved in and liked it so much I bought a second apartment for my mother! The staff is the most caring I have ever encountered and the facility is top-notch. Hope to meet you soon.

Brookdale Valparaiso Assisted Living
4.4

My Mom has been a resident at Brookdale for 18 months, and has gone from needing some care to needing full care. The staff has been wonderful. They are caring and willing to help with anything she needs.

Charter Senior Living of Hazel Crest
4.0

As far as enjoyment they have a good amount of social activities and there is a good amount of room to move around. As far as improvements - they could work on improving the overall quality of the meals and the food choices. We were also told that when the weather is nice the residents would be able to walk around in the outdoor areas, but we have found that not to be true. So we wish they could have better access to the outdoor areas, but we still would recommend this community to other families.
