The Stratford was the perfect place for my MIL. She started out living in the beautiful cottages in independent living and when she kept falling, she transferred to assisted living in the main building. We couldn't have been more pleased with the care she received there. The staff went above and beyond in answering our questions, reacting to concerns, being approachable & reachable, & treating her like one of their own family members. She made many friends there. She was able to visit a doctor, as well as occ. & physical therapy in the facility, as needed. My husband & I highly recommend the Stratford. A big shout out to Brad, the administrator, & Jodi, the social worker. They are truly the BEST in ALL of Indy!

I want to highly commend the “fun squad” at the Stratford. Marissa, Michele, and Stephanie. From water balloon fights, museum trips, ice cream socials, Indian baseball games, and a tricycle mini 500 in the lobby area - these fine ladies provide a loving, creative, and entertaining environment for my mom and the other assisted living patrons. Such caring entertaining events are truly appreciated by my mother and myself. You get an A+++ in my book. Keep it up.

If you or a loved one is looking for a place to call home, I highly recommend The Stratford. We've had the pleasure of partnering with their team multiple times, providing exterior cleaning services for the community - and every experience has been great. The team members are not only professional, communicative, and detail-oriented, but also bring genuine warmth and positivity to the community. Leadership is hands-on and clearly committed to creating a strong community while enhancing the quality of life for those who call it home. We're grateful for the partnership and look forward to supporting their mission for years to come! - Mitchell Indy Soft Wash, LLC

As we approach our 1st anniversary on June 14, we are beyond happy with our decision to call The Stratford home. Among all the wonderful staff, there is one person who truly stands out, Stephanie. From the very beginning, she made our transition from our previous home seamless and enjoyable. Even now, she continues to check in on us and offers support in so many thoughtful ways. Her genuine care for others is evident, and it's clear she truly loves what she does. Whether it’s her warm smile, friendly greeting, or authentic interest in how we're doing, Stephanie always brings a sense of positivity and humor. She is exceptional in her role, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her lead us through our transition. We're grateful to have her as part of our journey at The Stratford. Kindly, Mary Ann and Bob Laux
