The Stratford is a continuing care retirement community in Carmel, Indiana, with independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Having several care levels can suit a resident whose needs change over time, since moving to a different level may not require leaving the community. With 18 beds, The Stratford is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. Housing includes cottages, suites, one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom apartments, as well as semi private rooms.
The starting price is $5,740 per month, though the available facts do not connect that amount to a particular care level. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means paying directly for care. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 17 minutes per resident each day, representing the nursing time allocated to each resident. The Stratford is in the Village of West Clay neighborhood, where a Walk Score of 54 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, with some errands possible on foot. Fitness facilities and daily exercise classes offer places to exercise on campus, while entertainment programming and a social calendar provide scheduled activities. Pets are allowed, so residents can keep a pet with them.
