Overview of Aster Place

Operated by Residential Care XIII LLC, Aster Place is a senior living community in Lafayette, Indiana, offering assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care. Cari Branshaw serves as the administrator, and Tracy Allen is the director of nursing. The community is housed in a single-story building with 147 private and semi-private residences. It has been operating for 1 year, giving it a newer feel with more recently built spaces and programs.

The community has two dedicated memory care neighborhoods that support residents with different levels of cognitive need. Along with memory care, Aster Place offers independent living and short-term respite stays. This can give families flexibility if a loved one’s needs change over time. Transportation services and fitness and recreation programs are also available.

Aster Place has an occupancy rate of 78%, with 114 of its 147 beds filled. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 30, which is somewhat walkable. A few nearby services can be reached on foot, while most errands require a car.

State inspections conducted by the Indiana Department of Health’s Division of Long Term Care have generally found the community in compliance. Several inspections identified no deficiencies. When issues have been noted, they have focused on medication administration documentation and recordkeeping, including making sure medication doses and service plans are properly documented, rather than on direct resident care. The community has taken corrective action in response.

Families touring Aster Place should ask how medication administration and documentation are managed daily.
