Elmcroft of West Lafayette offers Assisted Living that supports residents who are under 60, those managing diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and individuals living with mild dementia. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff at all times, and a nurse is on-site around the clock to monitor conditions, handle routine care, and respond to emergencies. The community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, schedules regular podiatry visits, and maintains an onsite therapy room for rehabilitation or strengthening programs. Personal-care services cover full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can feed themselves independently are supported at mealtimes. Transfer assistance ranges from standby help to one-person transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
To reinforce safety and routine, all staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents. Security includes 24-hour staffing, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords connected to a personal emergency response system. Staff remain reachable by PERS around the clock. An activity director plans daily engagements to encourage mobility and social interaction. Together, these measures create a controlled environment designed to reduce fall risk, manage chronic conditions, and respond quickly to any change in status.
Resident apartments vary, but options may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnishings, individual climate controls, and the opportunity to paint or decorate. Cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are provided. Because layouts differ, not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu with an on-order alternative, and snacks are available throughout the day. Residents can dine in the main room, request tray service in their apartments, or book the private dining room for guests. Dietary management covers gluten-free plans, mechanically chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian selections, and other physician-ordered modifications.
Additional amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, special-interest clubs, and a full-service kitchen residents may use for personal cooking projects. High-speed internet access is available community-wide. Scheduled transportation and a TowneCar service help residents reach appointments and local destinations. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
