Lowell Healthcare in Lowell, Indiana, operates as a skilled nursing facility that delivers round-the-clock clinical oversight. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on duty at all times, and the rehabilitation team offers on-site physical therapy seven days a week for residents recovering from surgery, injury, or illness. Short-term respite care is available for family caregivers who need a temporary break, giving loved ones access to the same nursing services, therapy sessions, and medication management enjoyed by long-term residents.
Beyond direct medical interventions, the care team assists with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility support. Staff members track vital signs, manage chronic conditions, and coordinate with outside physicians to adjust care plans when necessary. Wound care, pain management, and fall prevention programs are in place, and the facility provides discharge planning and family education to promote a safe transition should a resident return home.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and each is equipped with basic furnishings and safety features such as grab bars and emergency call systems. Select rooms include cable TV, and some open toward landscaped outdoor areas and a secure garden that allow residents to spend time outside without leaving the campus. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes all listed features.
The kitchen staff prepares three balanced meals daily, and meals are served in a central dining room that supports social interaction. Therapeutic diets, texture modifications, and physician-ordered meal plans are accommodated, and nursing staff monitor nutritional intake for residents with specific health concerns. Room service is provided for residents who are unable to dine in the communal setting.
Residents have access to an activity center where scheduled events, games, and group gatherings are held. Health and wellness programs, including light exercise classes and educational sessions, aim to support physical stamina and disease management. A library and computer lounge supplies reading materials, internet access, and space for quiet study or email, giving residents tools to stay mentally active and connected with family.
