Five Star Residences of Fort Wayne offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who choose Assisted Living can expect personalized support with daily routines, while those in Independent Living retain maximum autonomy with access to staff as needed. The community is structured so individuals can transition between care levels without relocating, providing continuity and convenience as health needs change.
Health-related services are extensive. The residence accepts respite or short-term stays, which can help families manage temporary care needs. Diabetes management is available, and on-site nurses oversee medication management, incontinence programs, and ambulatory care. A physician visits the community, and therapists in speech, occupational, and physical disciplines offer scheduled sessions. Memory care, hospice coordination, and podiatry services are also provided, giving residents and families a single location for a broad spectrum of clinical support.
Accommodations include private or shared apartments equipped, in some cases, with kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV, and individual climate control. Select units feature views of outdoor areas or easy access to the central fireplace lounge, and parking is available for residents who still drive. The building is pet-friendly, though not every apartment supports every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts during a tour.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three meals daily with an all-day dining option for flexible scheduling. Guest meals are welcomed, allowing families to join residents at the table. Menus are rotated to support varied nutrition needs, and staff can accommodate physician-directed diets when required.
Daily life is rounded out by a library and computer lounge for quiet study, an activity center that hosts karaoke, happy hour gatherings, birthday parties, and occasional dances, and scheduled yoga or chair-yoga classes. Live music events, social outings into Fort Wayne, and access to an on-site swimming pool provide additional opportunities for engagement and exercise.
