The people that make it work wellA
reviewed on: 07/01/2018 by Roy CohenI have found that the people who work at Trail Creek Place In Mich. City, Indiana work very well together as a team. I can tell that from the start when we moved my mother-in -law out of the first location to Trail Creek place. I would check in with her 3-4-5 times a week to see how she was doing. I found that she would tell me that the people would spend time talking to talk to her and other people. As time passed the needs of my mother changed. I went to Trail Creek Place for I knew that would be the correct place for my mother. I know that day my mother moved in was a very hard day for her and me. Roy Cohen
More like home
reviewed on: 08/21/2018 by AnonymousI have had years of experience working both in supervision and nursing care in long term care facilities. I was quite impressed with Trail Creek Place Memory Care Unit. The facility is quite “ home like” and cozy,and the rooms are generous in space. The staff is friendly and attentive and residents seemed well cared for and engaged in activities. I have looked at several facilities in the area and place this one near the “top of my list” of choice. I have not read the recent state survey which I always do to assess quality of nursing care which will also be a determining factor for me. This facility is not like many others..and definitely has its own unique character..which is hard to find!
Came away very impressed--for 3 reasons
reviewed on: 09/04/2019 by KJTrail Creek Place was one of several assisted living facilities in LaPorte County that I visited a couple of weeks ago. I was very impressed with this particular place and here's why: During the tour that I was given, I saw a lot of interaction between residents. Instead of everyone being isolated in their rooms in the middle of the afternoon, I saw quite a few people sitting in a common area in the front of the building. There were people at tables--playing games, talking, laughing with each other. There were a variety of activities mentioned that are available to Trail Creek Place residents. Not just the usual bingo and so on. There's even an opportunity for residents to help raise money for different charities such as Salvation Army--which I thought was very cool. Secondly, the spacious courtyard seems like an unusually pleasant place to enjoy some outdoor time--like when a family is visiting, for example. The exterior looks well kept and the neighborhood is nice. (The facility is near Immanuel Lutheran Church and the Franciscan Medical Center.) I was most impressed by the sincere nature of the person who gave me the tour--Tricia. Her presentation was relaxed and down-to-earth instead of hard-sell, and I was able to learn a lot during the tour and during our discussion without feeling pressured to move forward in the least. Perhaps that may say something about how this facility does business.
Very Satisfied!

Trail Creek Place- a great place for dad!
reviewed on: 06/04/2018 by Carol StonerI’ve been so concerned about yet another adjustment! It seems he has had to make so many and that is one of the hardest things for a person with dementia. When I think about it, he was in the hospital twice in a month (September 2017—mind you after not having EVER been admitted to any hospital save when he had thyroid surgery over 35 years ago) and once for major surgery—under spinal anesthesia!, then rehab, then moved to skilled nursing, then moved to a dementia/Alzheimer’s Unit, then to the hospital in Mishawaka, and now to (lovely) Trail Creek. He’s had to adjust to an indwelling catheter, life in a wheelchair after a fairly active lifestyle formerly, a few urinary tract infections, a bout of pneumonia……all within six months. Tricia, we are so thankful for the warm welcome. Really! Everyone was incredibly welcoming at a time when we were ALL nervous. We are thankful for the effort being made to ease his transition and the grace you are showing him during this stage of his life. Your update made my day. Your facility’s communication skills (you, Leanna, the executive director, Antoinne, the aide on afternoon shift yesterday—her name escapes me, to name a few) have greatly surpassed anything we have experienced to date. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring for our dad. Gratefully, Carol Stoner
