Primrose Retirement Community of Kokomo offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living apartments, allowing residents to choose the level of daily support they want while still having access to comprehensive medical oversight. Nurses can accommodate oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetic care whether a resident uses oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Staff are also trained to support younger adults under 60 and individuals with mild dementia, so care plans can be tailored for a wide age and cognitive range without requiring a move to another setting.
Registered and licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, backed by background-checked caregivers who remain awake during night shifts for added safety. Emergency pull cords connect directly to staff, and the building maintains 24-hour security coverage. Residents have access to visiting podiatry, audiology services, a therapy room, and the community accepts those with managed psychiatric histories. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while dining is typically self-served with staff standing by. Transfer help is available for walkers, wheelchairs, standby, one-person, and two-person assists, ensuring mobility changes do not disrupt residency.
Apartments vary in layout, so not every unit contains every feature, but floor plans can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate the living space. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided for residents who opt in, easing day-to-day chores while allowing more time to enjoy community activities.
Meals are served restaurant-style from a set menu with an on-order option at each sitting, and snacks are always available between meals. Special dietary instructions from physicians, including diabetic and low-sodium guidelines, are followed by the culinary staff. Independent Living residents can choose a monthly meal plan and still handle light cooking in their kitchenettes, while also receiving medication-management monitoring, routine housekeeping, and laundry services.
Amenities include resident parking, full wheelchair accessibility, on-site barber and beauty services, a movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, regularly scheduled religious services, a library, special-interest clubs, an ice cream parlor, and a pub and billiard room. Scheduled transportation and the Townecar service help residents attend appointments or local outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
