Heritage Of Fort Wayne, The offers three distinct living options so residents can match services to their current needs. Assisted Living provides daily support with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders while still encouraging residents to handle what they can on their own. Independent Living is geared toward people who want the convenience of a maintenance-free lifestyle but do not require routine personal assistance. For individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, the dedicated Memory Care program uses structured schedules, cueing techniques, and secure spaces to reduce anxiety and support remaining abilities.

Beyond basic care levels, the community places a strong emphasis on clinical services delivered on site. Residents who need help regaining strength after illness or injury can receive Physical Therapy without having to leave the property. Occupational Therapy is available for those who need to relearn daily skills such as grooming, mobility, or household tasks, and Speech Therapy is offered to address communication or swallowing challenges. The therapy team collaborates with the resident’s physician to develop individualized treatment plans and to monitor progress over time.

Apartment layouts vary, and not all accommodations have all the features, but residents can expect practical floor plans designed for ease of movement and safety. Units are pet friendly, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Many apartments look out onto courtyards or other outdoor areas where residents can walk, garden, or relax. Basic utilities, maintenance, and emergency response systems are included, and housekeeping services are available for an additional fee.

Meals are served in a common dining room where residents choose from a rotating menu that accommodates dietary needs such as low-sodium or diabetic options. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and arrangements can be made for tray service during short-term illness. Guests are welcome to join residents for meals, and private dining space can be reserved for family gatherings with advance notice.
