St. Andrews Health Campus in Batesville provides assisted-living care designed for residents who need help with daily tasks but want to keep as much independence as possible. The campus also accepts short-term or respite stays, giving families a reliable option when a primary caregiver is unavailable or when someone needs extra support after a hospital visit. Diabetes care is available, including monitoring and assistance with glucose management. Regular physician oversight is offered, and residents may see visiting doctors without leaving the property. Licensed therapists provide physical therapy for mobility or strength issues and speech therapy for communication or swallowing concerns, both delivered according to individualized care plans.
The community operates as a secured campus, adding an extra layer of safety for residents who may be at risk of wandering or disorientation. Staff members are on duty around the clock to respond to calls, manage medications, and coordinate with outside healthcare providers when needed. Emergency response systems are in place, and care team members are trained to handle urgent medical situations quickly. The secured environment allows residents to move about the property confidently while families gain peace of mind.
Apartments and common areas are designed for practicality and accessibility. Depending on the specific unit, residents may find features such as kitchenettes, handicap-accessible layouts, cable or satellite television, Wi-Fi, individual climate control, and access to a central fireplace or billiards lounge. Housekeeping and laundry services reduce daily chores, while on-site parking simplifies visits for family and friends. Outdoor gardens and other landscaped areas give residents a place to sit or walk when they want fresh air. Not every apartment includes every feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour.
Dining follows a flexible, restaurant-style approach with meals served throughout the day rather than at rigid seating times. A professional chef prepares menus that can accommodate vegetarian, organic, gluten-free, low-sodium, or no-sugar requests. Guest meals are available so family members can join residents for lunch or dinner, and healthy snacks are kept on hand between meals. The culinary team occasionally arranges international cuisine nights, barbecues, or picnics to add variety.
Residents have access to an activity center, game room, library and computer lounge, arts and crafts studios, and a swimming pool. The life-enrichment calendar includes clubs and community groups, educational speakers, fitness and wellness programs, Wii bowling, trivia games, and intergenerational events. Staff coordinate day trips, social outings, wine tastings, live dance or theater performances, and holiday parties, while activities off-site keep residents connected with the broader Batesville area. These offerings aim to support both physical health and social engagement.
