Overview of Brentwood at LaPorte
Facebook

South Bend’s Brentwood at LaPorte covers a lot of ground under one address: assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care all sit inside the same community. A family doesn’t have to guess whether this is the “before” place or the “after” place; it can be both, depending on what a resident needs this year versus next year.

Getting there means getting in a car. The neighborhood’s Walk Score sits at 16, which puts it firmly in car-dependent territory, so errands and outings are a driving trip, not a stroll. Inside, though, there’s more going on. Nursing services and 24-hour staffing back up the daily routine, and short-term respite care exists as its own track for families who need a bridge, not a permanent move.

Pricing starts at $3,570 a month for a studio, climbing through one- and two-bedroom layouts, with a separate shared-studio rate inside memory care. Wellness services and a support group round out the program list, alongside general dining services. For day-to-day life, residents get a central courtyard, a spot to socialize, an on-site salon and barber, and a family communication app that keeps relatives looped in without a phone tag. Pets are welcome too.

What Brentwood at LaPorte seems built for is continuity: a resident could plausibly start in independent living, move to assisted living, and use memory care or respite services later, all without changing zip codes.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover assisted living?

Indiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Indiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
