Residences Senior Living

What Residences Senior Living does

Residences Senior Living is a physician-owned, locally-operated private company headquartered in Schererville, Indiana, that operates two licensed senior living communities in Northwest Indiana: Residences at Deer Creek (Schererville, opened 2013) and Residences at Coffee Creek (Chesterton, opened 2019). The company delivers assisted living, independent living, memory care (including Snoezelen multi-sensory therapy environments and Certified Dementia Practitioner staff), short-term and respite stays, and on-site outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy to seniors and their families in the region. Residents live in private studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with restaurant-style dining, life-enrichment programming, housekeeping, transportation, and 24/7 on-site nursing.

The operating platform combines a hospitality-led residential experience with a layered clinical and safety technology stack. Building-level infrastructure includes photo-catalytic air purification integrated with HVAC, AeroClave dry-mist decontamination for resident units, and AI-enabled safety monitoring (pattern-learning motion detectors, automatic smart lighting to reduce falls, and adaptive smart thermostats). Both sites are state-licensed and qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits, and the company employs full-time Master's-level Licensed Clinical Social Workers as Directors of Social Services across both locations.

Commercially, Residences Senior Living runs a direct-to-consumer model targeting seniors and their adult children through website content, toll-free phone intake, virtual and on-site tours, a downloadable Senior Living Value Comparison Guide, and community events. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly residency fees (subscription/recurring model) covering rent, meals, care, and amenities, supplemented by fee-for-service therapy and short-term stay revenue and by veterans' benefits flowing through qualifying residents. Marketing leans heavily on earned media and award recognition (13 consecutive years of Best of the Region awards; A Place for Mom 2023 Best of Senior Living top 1–2%) rather than paid acquisition. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no M&A history, and operates with a headcount of 101–250.
