McKay Manor Senior Living

Shelbyville, Indiana is where McKay Manor Senior Living sits, an independent living community at 1473 E. McKay Rd. Tutera Senior Living & Health Care operates the community, where residents keep their own apartment and schedule while handing off the upkeep of a house they no longer want to maintain on their own.

Restaurant-style dining, with 3 meals a day plus snacks, is served alongside linen and housekeeping services, and staff keep 24-hour access to trained, caring associates on site. High-speed internet and utilities, with optional telephone and cable TV, are included as well, which simplifies a resident's monthly bills and paperwork.

Group exercise and wellness classes, scheduled transportation for appointments and outings, a recreation room, a library, and a salon and barber shop give residents reasons to leave the apartment daily. The grounds include scenic walking paths, and the community is pet-friendly with a secured dog park for residents who keep a dog as a companion in their new home.

Because only independent living is offered at McKay Manor Senior Living, families should ask what options exist if a resident later needs daily help, and compare that against other senior living in Shelbyville before deciding on a move. Asking whether outside home care can be arranged in the apartment is a useful follow-up question during a tour, along with how leases are handled if a resident later relocates to a higher level of care.
