Brookdale Fort Wayne offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same building even if their needs change. The community manages chronic conditions such as diabetes, provides a structured mental-wellness program, and uses staff who receive specialized memory-care training to support residents with moderate dementia. A physician oversees care plans, and respite or short-term stays are possible for families who need a temporary solution.

Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff around the clock, with an awake nurse present during night hours. All employees undergo background checks, and an in-room pull-cord system alerts staff 24/7. Residents have access to 12- to 16-hour daily nursing coverage, on-site dental, podiatry, occupational and physical therapy, hospice, ambulatory and incontinence care, and medication management. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and team members can help with walker or wheelchair mobility, standby support, or one-person transfers. An enclosed courtyard adds a secure outdoor option for Memory Care residents.

Apartments can include a private bathroom and basic cable, although not every accommodation has every feature, so it is best to verify what is in a specific unit before reserving it. The building is designed to keep hallways short and sightlines clear, making it easier for residents with cognitive challenges to navigate.

Meals are served from a set menu in the dining room, with snacks available between sittings. The kitchen staff can adjust textures, portion sizes, and seasoning to meet a physician-ordered diet plan or a resident’s personal preference. Independent-living residents who choose to move to Brookdale Fort Wayne can add medication-management monitoring for an additional fee, giving them the same professional oversight without requiring a higher level of care.

Brookdale Fort Wayne offers resident parking, a barber and beauty shop, a wellness center with internet access, and communal gardens with walking paths that wind through landscaped grounds. On-site religious services, a library, private dining room, porch, game room, and flat-screen TV lounges give residents multiple options for leisure and socializing. Each apartment is equipped with an emergency-response system, and concierge services handle routine requests. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
