Assisted living in Bloomington, Indiana

Commons at Jackson Creek sits on South Sare Road on Bloomington's east side, a few minutes from College Mall and the IU Health Bloomington hospital campus. It's the only community we operate in Monroe County, and it's a particular kind of building: 42 apartments, small enough that staff genuinely know every resident, in a town where the alternatives are mostly larger. It's owned and run by OPS Living, an Indiana operator whose owners are licensed administrators. Bloomington families comparing options usually look at us alongside the bigger campuses on the west side; our honest pitch is the combination nobody else in town offers, a 4.5-star Google rating and the lowest published starting rate in the market.

Bloomington-area assisted living averages about $4,283 a month per Genworth. Commons at Jackson Creek starts at $3,110, which makes it the value position in the market by a wide margin, with the rating to answer the obvious question that raises. The rate covers the apartment plus round-the-clock care staff, medication management, chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, and activities. Indiana's PathWays for Aging Medicaid waiver can cover assisted living services here for eligible seniors, and our team checks eligibility with families for free.

Bloomington's market is small enough to tour completely: you can see every serious option in two days. Do that. Tour at mealtime, ask every community how long its executive director and nurses have been there, and ask to see full rate sheets including care-level charges. When you compare, compare each building's own Google reviews rather than any company-wide average. And ask about the trajectory: our building has added ten points of occupancy since the start of the year because something changed here, and we'll happily tell you what.
