Laurels of Dekalb in Butler, Indiana, operates as a skilled nursing facility that delivers around-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need long-term or short-term nursing-home care. The center is equipped to provide structured rehabilitation services, including a dedicated Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program for individuals managing chronic respiratory conditions and a broader Rehabilitation Program for those recovering from surgeries, illness, or injury. These programs are supported by licensed therapists and nursing staff who coordinate personalized treatment plans and monitor progress daily.

Beyond traditional nursing services, Laurels of Dekalb offers flexible respite options. Short-stay respite and respite care placements allow family caregivers to take planned breaks while residents receive the same nursing and therapy resources available to long-term residents. The facility maintains access to on-site or on-call physicians, registered nurses, and other allied health professionals who handle medication management, wound care, and ongoing health assessments to help residents stabilize and improve their overall well-being.

Resident accommodations include a selection of private and shared rooms, with some units featuring direct access to garden or outdoor areas for fresh air and light exercise. Certain rooms can accommodate pets, and many offer convenient in-room telephones. A library and computer lounge provide quiet space for reading and internet use. Because room layouts and features vary, not every accommodation includes every listed component, and availability can change based on current occupancy.

Dining services provide three daily meals prepared to meet standard dietary guidelines as well as individualized physician-ordered diets. Menus rotate to support balanced nutrition and are served in a communal dining area, with staff available for assistance. Meal delivery to the room is an option when residents prefer or require in-room service.

Recreational programming centers on an activity room that hosts organized arts and crafts sessions, social clubs, and group gatherings. Scheduled social outings into the community help residents stay connected to local events and maintain social engagement. These activities complement the clinical focus of the community by supporting cognitive stimulation and social interaction.
