Life Plan/CCRCs
Also referred to as Life Plan Communities, these communities offer a comprehensive continuum of care for residents. CCRCs offer multiple levels of care, allowing seniors to transition between independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care as their needs change throughout their aging journey.

My Dad has been at the Stratford for just over a year and is happier than he ever expected. Leaving his long time home in New Jersey was a big decision but he will tell you now he has "no regrets!". The staff is warm and friendly and the residents have all been so welcoming. The Stratford feels like home but better and our family is very grateful.

I want to compliment the leadership and staff of The Stratford. They are loving, caring, concerned, and totaly engaged in supporting my mother's physical and mental health. I continue to be impressed. My husband and I spent Christmas week at the Stratford - while visiting with my mother (in assisted living). We stayed in a clean one bedroom apartment inside the Stratford building - which the Stratford reserves for "out of town" guests. The rental fee was minimal. The apartment was appropriately furnished with all the essential elements for a wonderful stay. TV, Washer/Dryer, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Oven/Stove, Microwave, Coffee maker, and all the plates and utensils we needed to enjoy the week with my mother. It was wonderful. We brought cookware and a mixer - and spent the first few days before Christmas preparing the deserts for the family Christmas eve meal. My mother thouroughly enjoyed cooking with me - and her Great Great Grandchildren told her "GG - you haven't lost it (meaning the deserts were delicious). A wonderful week for my husband and me, and a wonderful week for Mom.

My mother lived at The Stratford for over four years. Every interaction I witnessed with staff and residents was caring. Several staff members went out of their way to help her with grieving the loss of her husband and many residents offered support and kindness. We found the skilled nursing care to be amazing, particularly rehab/physical therapy. Dining services are excellent, and every staff member there was gracious and friendly. The entire staff, from the front desk to the maintenance team work tirelessly to ensure residents are well cared for and feel loved.

My wife and I moved her mother into independent living at the Stratford in October, 2011, at the age of 89. After she turned 101 in October, 2024, we were faced with the tough decision to move her to a memory care facility closer to our home in Fishers due to the rapid onset of dementia. The twelve years she lived at the Stratford were undoubtably some of the happiest years of her life. For over ten years, she was able to fully participate in the numerous activities and social events of the Stratford (e.g. bridge, shopping, concerts, Super Bowl viewing parties, etc.). Following her move to Indiana from her home of over 50 years in Georgia, she made numerous close friends during her time at the Stratford. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to visit her weekly for meals, especially Sunday brunch. We found the staff to be very supportive and accommodating of her needs, especially Sam, Joe, Kevin, and Jackie. The staff and management of the Stratford were equally supportive as we made the difficult decision to leave. In retrospect, she made the ideal choice to move to the Stratford thirteen years ago. We are very grateful for the care and support that they provided.
