INDIANAPOLIS, IN - A VIP Preview Party and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony will be held for Hellenic Senior Living of Indianapolis, a new affordable assisted living community for older adults that is opening next month.
This $23 million development was designed for seniors who have a financial need and need some help to maintain their independence.
“We will be providing older adults with a wonderful alternative to a nursing home or to struggling alone at home,” said Hellenic Administrator John Robison.
The community will combine residential apartment-home living with the availability of personal assistance, help with medications, and a variety of convenience and support services, such as meals, housekeeping, laundry and on-site physical therapy.
Residents will live in private apartments that they will furnish and decorate to their tastes. Each of the apartments will feature a kitchenette, spacious bathroom with shower and grab bars, individually controlled heating and air conditioning and an emergency alert system.
In addition, Hellenic Senior Living offers several areas for residents to enjoy, including an activity room, beauty salon/barber shop, convenience store, fitness room, library, café, TV lounges and a theater room.
Certified nursing assistants, working under the direction of a licensed nurse, will be on-duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "Residents also will benefit from all of the opportunities that will be available to socialize with friends and neighbors and to participate in activities and special programs," says Robison.
When fully occupied, the community will provide 63 full-time and part-time jobs. Annual payroll with benefits is projected to be $1.8 million.
Hellenic will be certified to operate through the Division of Aging and regulated by the Indiana State Department of Health.
"Our focus," says Rod Burkett, CEO of Gardant Management Solutions, the company that will manage the community, "is to provide Hellenic residents with the love, compassion and dignity they deserve and the help and assistance they need. Our emphasis is on helping each resident achieve and maintain as much independence as possible for as long as possible."
Another property, Hellenic Senior Living of New Albany, is under construction and expected to open this winter.
Communities managed by Gardant are the Belvedere Senior Housing in Merrillville, Oasis at 30th in Indianapolis and Silver Birch of Hammond.
