Silver Birch of Fort Wayne is an assisted-living community that focuses on everyday health management and personal care. The residence supports older adults who require routine or advanced diabetic oversight, whether they manage their condition with oral medications, insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. On-site medical services include diabetic monitoring, incontinence care, and support for non-ambulatory residents. Team members can also help with daily activities: staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, standby or one-person support with transfers involving walkers or wheelchairs, and allow residents who are able to eat independently to do so. The community does not offer any specialized dementia programming.
Round-the-clock staffing and security back up these clinical services. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on the roster, and a nurse is present on site 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, an awake night shift covers overnight needs, and the building is secured with door alarms and pull-cord or personal emergency response systems that alert staff. An activity director coordinates daily schedules, while guards or staff ensure a continuous security presence.
Residents choose from studio or one-bedroom layouts that may include a kitchenette, individual climate controls, and the option to repaint or decorate the space. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry are part of the standard service package. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every listed feature, so asking about specific room amenities during a tour is recommended.
Dining services are geared toward both choice and nutritional oversight. Three meals are prepared daily; residents can select from a set menu or order alternates. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be delivered to the apartment when necessary. A private dining room is set aside for family gatherings, and kitchen staff can adapt recipes to align with physician-ordered dietary guidelines, including diabetic requirements.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, communal gardens, and scheduled on-site religious services. Concierge support is available for everyday arrangements, and transportation can be booked for medical appointments or errands. The community welcomes pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
