Waterford Crossing in Goshen, Indiana, is an assisted-living community that couples daily support with on-site clinical resources. Residents who need short-term help after a hospital stay can choose respite or other short-term arrangements, while those with chronic conditions such as diabetes receive monitoring and medication assistance from trained staff. Physical and speech therapy services are available in the building, so residents don’t have to arrange outside appointments for mobility improvement or communication needs.
Additional safeguards are in place to back up the direct care. The community is secured, limiting unsupervised entry or exit, and every apartment is linked to an emergency call system that notifies staff around the clock. Caregivers, therapy professionals, and nursing personnel are on site to respond quickly, coordinate with outside physicians, and keep care plans updated. This structure is designed to give residents and their families a consistent, predictable level of oversight.
Living spaces range from studios to larger apartments, each climate-controlled and wired for cable and high-speed internet. Some layouts include kitchenettes, balconies, patios, or decks, while select baths feature wheelchair-accessible showers and grab bars for ease of movement. A limited number of suites accept small pets or cats, but other wings remain pet-free, so it is important to confirm individual preferences during a tour. Options such as resident parking, outdoor garden access, and common areas with a central fireplace are available, though not every unit has every feature.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining plan that accommodates vegetarian, vegan, low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, and organic requests. Guests can join residents for meals, and special events occasionally feature international menus, barbecues, or picnics. Those who prefer a more flexible schedule can pick up lighter fare between main seatings, ensuring nutritional goals are met without rigid meal times.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, arts and crafts spaces, and an entertainment room that hosts Wii bowling, live performances, and educational speakers. Fitness and wellness opportunities include yoga, indoor and outdoor walking paths, organized fitness programs, and light-therapy sessions, while a swimming pool supports low-impact exercise. Social calendars list day trips, wine tastings, clubs, intergenerational programs, holiday parties, and game nights, giving residents multiple ways to stay mentally and physically active.
