Assisted living and memory care in Michigan City, Indiana

Trail Creek Place sits on East Coolspring Avenue in Michigan City, and it holds a specific job among the six Indiana communities OPS Living operates: it's our memory care home. The building offers both assisted living and a dedicated memory care neighborhood, secured and purpose-built, with staff trained specifically in dementia care. That makes Trail Creek Place the answer we give families across all our communities, from South Bend to Bloomington, when dementia changes what safe looks like. For La Porte County families it's simply the local option with an owner-operator behind it: OPS is run by two licensed administrators, publishes its rates, and keeps its staff, which is the whole formula as far as we can tell.

Trail Creek Place's assisted living starts at [STARTING PRICE: MICHIGAN CITY], with memory care at [STARTING PRICE: MEMORY CARE] reflecting the heavier staffing. Both cover the apartment plus care: 24/7 staff, medication management, chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, and structured activities. Indiana's PathWays for Aging Medicaid waiver can cover care services here for eligible seniors, in memory care as well as assisted living, and our team handles eligibility conversations at no charge.

If you're comparing memory care options, tour with a harder checklist than assisted living requires: ask about overnight staffing ratios, dementia-specific training hours, and how the community handles sundowning without reaching for medication first. Ask what would make them tell you your parent needs more care than they can give. Communities that can answer that question honestly are the ones that can be trusted with everything else. Franciscan Health Michigan City is nearby for medical care, and we coordinate appointments as part of the rate.
