Tipton Place in Huntington, IN, operates as an Assisted Living community that also accommodates respite or short-term stays for residents who need temporary support. The staff is trained to assist with diabetes management and coordinates regular visits with an attending doctor. Speech therapy services are available on site, allowing residents to receive communication and swallowing support without leaving the community. Together, these resources create a basic clinical framework that lets residents remain in a familiar setting while addressing routine health needs.
Medical oversight continues with daily medication management, scheduled doctor appointments, and access to licensed nurses. Residents may receive occupational, physical, and massage therapy as ordered, and a podiatrist is available for foot care. Memory care services are offered in a dedicated program for those living with cognitive decline, and the team can provide incontinence and ambulatory care as well as hospice support when required. A wellness program monitors ongoing health goals, while the facility’s sprinkler system contributes to overall safety standards.
Living options include studio apartments and units with kitchenettes, as well as select residences that feature in-unit washer and dryer connections. All accommodations are air conditioned, wheelchair accessible, and fitted with emergency call features; some apartments add carpeting, window treatments, or roll-in showers. Residents have access to outdoor areas and community spaces such as a central fireplace lounge, piano area, and on-site parking. Tipton Place welcomes small pets, but not every apartment has pet-friendly modifications, so prospective residents should confirm details during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining hours for flexible schedules. The culinary team can accommodate vegetarian and vegan diets, and international dishes appear regularly on the menu. Guests may join residents for meals, an option often used during family visits. Regular nutrition reviews help ensure that individual dietary requirements are met, especially for those managing chronic conditions like diabetes.
Amenities include an activity center, fitness programs, and indoor walking paths that encourage daily movement. Residents can visit the library and computer lounge, join clubs, or attend scheduled yoga and chair-yoga sessions. Social calendars feature happy hours, birthday parties, live-music events, and community outings. A swimming pool is available for recreational or low-impact exercise, and the staff organizes ongoing social and recreational programs to keep residents engaged with peers and the broader community.
