About Story Cottage
Indiana’s Story Cottage is a Creative and Innovative Living Solution for People with Memory Loss
After several years of researching the very best memory care models throughout the country, the concept was launched in July 2019 when the doors of Indiana’s first Story Cottage opened in Indianapolis just south of the picturesque Williams Creek in Meridian Kessler. A second, beautiful memory care home is opening in April 2021, nestled in the Maple Acres among the trees at Carey Road and Beech Drive in Carmel.
Welcome to Story Cottage
Story Cottage provides a safe, residential-style home with trusted caregivers (exclusively provided by Senior Home Companions) ready to help write your next chapter, together. Here, you find peace of mind for your loved one’s long-term memory care journey.
Our Story Cottage at Meridian Hills, Indianapolis and Story Cottage at Carey Grove, Carmel memory care residences are exclusive, private-pay custom homes with an unparalleled staffing ratio offering dedicated and personalized oversight to older adults with memory loss.
Indianapolis Memory Care in an Exclusive, Intimate Home Environment
Memory care patients are most comfortable in environments that are smaller and predictable. Story Cottage provides an intimate residence where your loved one will be stimulated by activities and companionship.
Custom built with your loved one’s comfort and safety in mind, we have carefully considered and designed the interior to beautifully feel like home.
Our memory care homes only have eight to 10 bedrooms. Your loved one will benefit from continuous personalized care and the city’s smallest resident-to-caregiver ratio (4:1).
Multiple spaces, such as private rooms to share a meal, a sunroom and a library, will meet the needs of your loved one as they socialize with other residents and participate in planned activities.
Dedicated and Experienced Staff
We strive to create the best day possible on a daily basis. Our caregivers curate a curriculum tailored to your loved one’s specific emotional and physical needs. This personalized approach ensures each day is overflowing with fulfilling activities.
Our services are provided by dependable caregivers who have extensive memory care experience. Fewer than 20 percent of potential caregivers make it through our rigorous selection process.
Story Cottage partners exclusively with Senior Home Companions. With more than 25 years of experience, we have provided thousands of families with care that helps loved ones live their fullest, most satisfying lives possible.
