Five Star Residences of Northwoods in Kokomo delivers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who need medical oversight can receive support for special diets, adults under 60 years old, and diabetic management whether on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale regimens. While the community does not provide dedicated dementia programs, routine health monitoring and coordination with outside providers help residents stay on track with individualized care plans.

Registered and licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, and an awake night staff responds to pull-cord alerts and scheduled checks. Background-screened team members handle full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can eat independently are encouraged to do so. Mobility help ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers and use of walkers or wheelchairs. On-site podiatry, audiology, and a therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Continuous security coverage, an activity director, and secured building access add additional layers of oversight.

Accommodation options include suites with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and the ability to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, but features vary by unit, so prospective residents should verify what is available in the specific apartment they select.

Dining follows a set menu with daily specials, but residents may order alternative dishes, request snacks, or take meals in their rooms. A private dining room can be reserved for gatherings. Special-diet meal preparation aligns with physician instructions. Independent Living residents have a monthly meal plan and can also receive medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and laundry services similar to those offered in Assisted Living.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, internet access, communal gardens, a library, special-interest clubs, religious services, and scheduled transportation for errands or appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
