Heritage Park in Fort Wayne offers three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can receive only the services they need while having the option to increase support over time. Within these settings, the community is prepared to handle a wide range of medical situations, including specialized oversight for residents who wander during the day or night, present elopement risks, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or live with advanced dementia. Nurses and caregivers are trained to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes whether controlled by oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The team also admits adults under 60 who need assistance, ensuring continuity of care regardless of age.
Beyond clinical oversight, Heritage Park maintains an emergency call system that links every resident to staff at any hour. Visiting podiatrists provide foot care, and a fully equipped therapy room supports rehabilitation needs. Staff can offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can feed themselves receive support on a self-care basis. Mobility assistance ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers, and the team is comfortable working with walkers and wheelchairs to reduce fall risk and promote safe movement.
Living quarters are designed to accommodate a variety of preferences. Some suites include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable service, while others offer more basic layouts; not all units contain every feature, so availability should be confirmed during a tour. Residents are welcome to personalize their spaces with paint or décor, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided to keep apartments tidy and comfortable.
Meals at Heritage Park aim to balance consistency with choice. Residents may select from a set menu, order specific dishes on demand, or request snacks throughout the day. In-room dining is available for those recovering from illness or simply wanting privacy, and a separate private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Special diets prescribed by physicians—such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified plans—are prepared under staff supervision to meet individual nutritional requirements.
Community services cover transportation for medical appointments and local outings, resident parking for those who still drive, and a concierge to coordinate daily needs. A barber and beauty shop, internet access, library, and communal gardens support everyday living, while on-site religious services and special-interest clubs add social and spiritual options. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
