Thanks, Joe. My sister is visiting from Iowa and we have been visiting a couple of senior places. She will leave on Friday and I will call you then if we don't have a solution. I appreciate your offering to help.

Hi Amy --

It's not in Carmel per se but Marquette Manor is a fabulous spot (down just south of 86th at Towne Road, if memory serves me). I had a client who resided there until her death; lovely 'apartment-type' living setups (as big/small as needed) with options for nursing as needed.

They can have their hair done on site, sign up for social events both on/off campus, tons of fun -- quite frankly while still in my 30's I'd have loved to live there! ;)

Hey Cindy... My sister and I spent an hour at Marquette Manor yesterday, and you're right, it is wonderful. The waiting list is over a year long for the cottages, and the representative showing us around was very informative.

My sister and I also went to Hoosier Village, which was very nice and my mom could build her own home, there. We are still in the very early stages of looking, but I really appreciate your feedback.

You might check out Robin's Run at 62nd and Zionsville Rd. I've heard very good things about it.

A more efficient move would be to connect with the information and referral services at CICOA Aging and In-Home Solutions. You can also call them at (317) 254-3660.

If you receive a solid solution to your question, would you please share with me? I also want to move to Carmel and want maintenance free living near my children. Thanks!
