Adult Day Care Communities in Fort Wayne, IN

"My sister was there for nearly a year before her death. She was very happy with the Catholic atmosphere, the sense of community among the residents, the caring and personal staff, the various activities and the opportunities for outings. She liked her independent living unit . When she had questions or special needs of any kind, the staff was helpful and attentive. When she had a medical emergency, she received excellent care at Park View hospital next door to the Home. The family lives in other states, but the Home kept us well-informed and made us very welcome whenever we visited. We are so grateful to have found St. Anne's and I highly recommend it."

"My mother was in Lutheran Homes for rehab. She was there for 3 weeks, and it's extremely positive. They had private rooms, the food was cooked from scratch, and the meals were very well planned. The health care is great there, and there's a waiting list all the time to get in there. They pay attention to detail, it's very clean, very friendly, and the food is great. She had physical therapy and nursing care. She had a large, private room, like 2 rooms plus the bath. There was an area for company, TV, table next to the bed, there was a couch and a chair for both the staff and the residents. You won't be stuck in the bed all day. Lutheran is well known in the community for years. It's very clean."

"I thought that The Village at Birchwood was beautiful and laid out beautifully. The staff was fantastic, I like everything about the place. The dining area also looked very nice. When we were there, they had a cute little puppy service dog visiting. They did craft projects."

"The Village of Heritage staff works hard to give their home a cheerful feeling. It is seasonally decorated, and has seasonal activities. Meals are very good; when I visit my family member I have sometimes eaten in the dining room, which is restaurant style, open seating. It makes meals pleasant. The staff are very cheerful, caring and knowledgeable. They seem alert to changes in patients' condition; they communicate this appropriately to the family as well as supervisors. Most of all, they are truly caring and helpful, being very calm with people who are impatient, forgetful or upset. The total staff, including maintenance and kitchen crew all seem to be well trained and have their heart in their work.The facility has a large family meeting room, with games for kids and a TV, a room for crafts, and a nice dining room. In addition, there is a seperate room for parties, if families wish to hold parties and get togethers at the facility. A bus with a wheelchair lift is available for outings and shopping trips, as well as medical appointments. A doctor comes to the facility regularly. The local community supports this nursing home with lots of community involvement. Musical groups and church groups come to perform. Since it is a smalll town, a person can come in and visit 2 or 3 old neighbors together in one of the public areas of the home, or outside in nice weather in one of the gazebos. Residents are encouraged to have bird feeders, etc, outside their window. The grounds are nicely landscaped and there is a wheel chair acessible path through the grounds. Efforts have been successfully made to make this as pleasant a place as possible. "
