Bennett Place

My dad moved into Bennett Place a year ago. Our family put a lot of thought moving him into this facility. He's 91 and it was a really hard decision. We chose this place because it just felt right. The staff is very warm and caring. I can tell that they love my dad. There's a huge room when you walk in the front door and that's where our family celebrated Christmas. We even brought his dog that my daughter keeps to visit. His room looks over the courtyard and he loves that. He has a really nice, big window and he enjoys watching the birds.

I had Thanksgiving lunch at Bennett Place with my Dad. The staff, as always, was very attentive, and the food was delicious. I’m happy I was able to take part in this special time together. Bennett Place has become my second family.

This is a lovely, moderately priced facility, which feels more like a home than an institution. Bennett Place has one-bedroom and studio apartments. It accommodates only 39 residents, who furnish their own units with their favorite items and mementos. It is conveniently located off of I-265 and Charlestown Rd, close to groceries and shopping areas. Good security, as staff must unlock the doors for entrances and exits. The building is laid out in a square with a nice courtyard in the middle. This allows residents to walk safely inside the equivalent of 2 or 3 blocks to make the full circuit. The dining room and den with a fireplace creates an open, "homey" feeling. The staff take a personal interest in the residents, and they have planned daily activities and good outings like going to IUS musical performances and community theatre. A nurse practitioner, physical therapist, and podiatrist make scheduled visits.. As with any organization, sometimes you do have to remind the housekeeping staff of essential chores, but texts to the director usually gets things done. The nursing care is added on to their basic rent and is graduated according to the level of care one needs as time progresses. Thus, as your loved one becomes more dependent, they do not have to move into a separate facility. The food is quite decent--sometimes excellent and sometimes mediocre, but much better than most institutional food. Guests can join their loved ones for a meal at a modest fee (less than the cost of a fast food meal). My sister now resides here and is quite content, even though the move from her home was initially a challenge. She recently was hospitalized for a few days and commented, "Boy, this food really makes you appreciate Bennett Place. I can't wait to get back there." She has found a supportive, loving community and has bonded with other guests. We all are very grateful we found this place for her.

Bennett Place Assisted Living does a wonderful job supporting residents as they age in place. The staff are caring and attentive, and the environment truly feels like home. It’s clear they are dedicated to helping residents maintain dignity and comfort every step of the way. They offer a very welcoming environment, nestled perfectly in New Albany, Indiana. The staff are always great to work with! Highly recommend going to take a tour if you are searching for yourself, friend, or loved one.

Great assisted living facility with lots of accommodations, including a beautiful courtyard, daily activities and a wonderful dining room. Very friendly staff. Overall, very satisfied with my visit to this facility would recommend for anyone looking for a small, quaint place for their loved one to live.
