Heritage Park in Fort Wayne offers a single level of residential care—assisted living—and backs it up with targeted medical support. Residents who live with diabetes can receive monitoring and assistance with blood-glucose testing and medication routines. On-site and on-call physicians oversee routine health evaluations, while a licensed speech therapist is available for residents who need help with communication or swallowing concerns. Short-term respite stays are accepted, giving family caregivers a break and allowing guests to benefit from the same clinical oversight as full-time residents.
Beyond scheduled medical services, the community maintains 24-hour staff coverage to manage medication administration, coordinate outside appointments, and respond to emergencies. Care plans are reviewed regularly so that support can be adjusted if a resident’s needs change. Assistance with daily activities—bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility—is provided based on individual assessments, and the building is equipped with safety features such as grab bars, emergency call systems, and secured entrances.
Living spaces range from studio apartments to garden homes. Depending on the floor plan, residences may include kitchenettes, balconies or patios, wheelchair-accessible showers, or high-speed Wi-Fi. Many units feature cable TV, individual climate controls, and views of the outdoor garden or central deck, while select homes allow cats and small dogs. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, but not every apartment contains every feature listed, so confirming specific details during a tour is recommended.
Three meals a day are prepared on site, with guest meals available when family or friends visit. The culinary team offers standard menus alongside options for gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-added-sugar diets. Seasonal BBQs or picnics are organized when weather permits, and snacks are accessible between mealtimes. Staff monitor dietary adherence for residents who have physician-ordered nutrition plans.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, and organized clubs that meet regularly. A fitness center supports daily exercise classes, while the swimming pool hosts water aerobics and other low-impact workouts. Scheduled social outings, holiday parties, and day trips extend engagement beyond the campus. Health and wellness programs track personal goals, and group fitness sessions provide structure for residents who want to stay active.
