Sage Bluff Health & Rehab Center in Fort Wayne provides licensed skilled-nursing care for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residence. Registered nurses are on duty around the clock, and attending physicians make regular rounds to oversee treatment plans. The center is equipped to handle complex medical needs such as post-operative recovery, cardiac and stroke rehabilitation, wound care, IV therapy, pain management, and end-of-life support. Therapy services are delivered on-site, so residents recovering from illness or injury do not need to leave the building for physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
Additional clinical features include individualized care plans that are reviewed weekly, electronic medication management with pharmacy coordination, and access to on-site lab work and diagnostic imaging through mobile providers. A secured call-light system allows residents to summon staff quickly, and fall-reduction programs use monitoring equipment and regular safety checks. Social workers coordinate discharge planning, while the transportation team arranges off-site dialysis or specialist visits. Emergency protocols link the facility directly with nearby hospitals for rapid transfers when required.
Accommodations at Sage Bluff include a mix of private and semi-private rooms. Each room has an adjustable hospital bed, in-room nurse call station, and basic cable or Wi-Fi access, while some—but not all—units add individual climate controls, larger closets, or courtyard views. Wheelchair-accessible bathrooms with grab bars are standard, though only select rooms feature roll-in showers. Housekeeping, linen service, and personal laundry are handled by staff, and maintenance is available for any room-related issues.
Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served three times daily in the main dining room, with tray service to the resident’s room offered when medically necessary. Menus are developed by a registered dietitian and rotate seasonally, with therapeutic options such as diabetic, renal, low-sodium, and mechanically altered diets available on physician order. Snacks and hydration carts circulate between meals, and family members may purchase guest meals with prior notice. While the dietary team strives to honor personal preferences, not all menu items or specialty diets are offered at every sitting, so requests are addressed individually.
