"Mom began showing signs of dementia in her middle 80s, and our family began to look for a place to get her care, as it was becoming too difficult for us. In earlier years, Mother had volunteered through her church at Milner. She had spoken so highly of Milner that we decided it was the place we should get her care. The admissions staff at Milner was wonderful, and helped guide us to the care Mother needed. We decided that assisted living care was best for her, and it was a great decision. The staff there were friendly. We could tell she was well cared for. As Mother’s dementia grew worse, she eventually needed to move to nursing care, and they made the transition to a different room easy for her. Mother has lived at Milner for over 10 years. With each stage of her condition, they have kept us informed. The nursing staff is always available and friendly when I visit. They continually monitor and respond to health issues for the residents. If you are looking for a place for a loved one, I don’t think you will find a better place than Milner Community Health Care."

“I am thankful for the opportunity to work at Milner Community Health Care, working along side with some of the best health care providers you will find anywhere, taking awesome care of the residents here. Having a good working relationship with the nursing management, as well as all other departments is important to me. Management that is approachable, have good communication sills and ready to do the right thing in every situation. Having good relationships like this improves the desire to perform job duties well. I feel we are given goals to work towards, the tools to perform our job tasks, and the inspiration to show up everyday to care for our residents. There is a positive atmosphere for staff, as well as our residents and their families.”

“We enjoy living in our home here at Milner’s. The management and maintenance staff are caring and responsive to our needs. Our homes are maintained by the staff during our travels. Our community is safe and secure. Our neighbors are friendly. After living in metropolitan areas for over 55 years, we chose to return to our rural backgrounds and midwestern hospitality. We enjoy access to great medical care and entertainment in Lafayette and West Lafayette.”

“The next best thing to being home when you need extra care just happens to be Milner Community Health Care. Our family had to accept the fact that our mother could not take care of herself living alone after having had a stroke. And that we, her three children, could not care for her needs as well. After two years in and out of three other nursing care facilities we were fortunate to learn about Milner and what it had to offer. Our mother became a resident at Milner Community Health Care in April 2018. We are so thankful for the dedicated staff to ensure quality care, a loving and encouraging environment, well-balanced meals, planned activities, and addressing any concerns that we may possibly have in a timely manner. We are so grateful to every staff member employed at Milner for giving their time to give our mother a safe, clean, loving place to call home. When we remember family, Milner Community Health Care is truly a member!”

“It's been a pleasure to be an employee at Milner and help take care of those who once took care of me. My Dad, Step-Mom, Mother-in-law, and other family members and neighbors have all been residents here throughout the years and have all received very good care (including the food)! I love what I do and everybody I work with – that’s why I call them my “work family”. My employers have been good to me, I hope I have done the dame for them.”
