Overview of Primrose Retirement Community of Anderson

Operated by Tsmm Management, L. , Primrose Retirement Community of Anderson is a senior living community on West Cross Street in Anderson, Indiana. The community is less than half a mile from Community Hospital Anderson and about 3 miles from the city centre. It offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof, giving families flexibility if a resident’s needs change over time. The 82-bed community has been open for about a year, with one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences.

Hervey Lawrence serves as the administrator, and Joyce Harris is the director of nursing. On-site nursing staff is available 24 hours a day. Residents have access to on-site therapy through Legacy. The community is designed for adults age 55 and older. It currently has an occupancy rate of about 42%, giving new residents a good selection of available rooms.

Residents have access to a library, chapel, movie theatre, billiard room, wellness centre, and computer lounge. Scheduled transportation, enclosed parking, and guest suites add convenience for residents and visiting family. Residents can also bring their pets, so they do not have to leave a companion animal behind during their stay.

Primrose is in a car-dependent part of Anderson, so most errands and outings require a car. They can rely on the community’s transportation service or family members for travel.

State inspection reviews have focused on recordkeeping accuracy and kitchen sanitation practices. More recent complaint investigations found no substantiated issues. Families touring Primrose Retirement Community of Anderson should ask how kitchen sanitation and documentation practices are managed daily.
