Spring Mill Health Campus in Merrillville offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care. The campus is equipped to support residents who wander during either the morning or evening, individuals with a history of elopement, those who use oxygen, and diabetics managed with oral medications. Programming and clinical oversight are designed to address moderate dementia conditions, and care plans are adapted as needs change.
Around-the-clock clinical staffing includes registered and licensed practical nurses, and an RN or LPN is on duty at all times. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents continuously. Security features include a fenced rear area, door alarms, 24-hour staff presence, and in-room pull cords that alert caregivers. On-site medical services extend to podiatry, reducing the need for off-campus appointments. Assistance with daily activities is available: some physical help with bathing and toileting, standby supervision for dressing, and support for self-directed eating. Transfer assistance covers residents who walk with aids, use wheelchairs, require standby help, or need a one-person transfer.
Apartments are configured to match different budgets and preferences. Some residences feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, and cable hookups, while housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided throughout the building. Because layouts vary, not every unit includes all of these elements, so it is best to confirm specific features during a tour.
Dining follows an all-day schedule with meals prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style. Menus accommodate vegetarian, organic, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar diets, alongside international selections. Residents and guests can join barbecues or picnics when weather permits, and healthy snacks remain available between main meals.
Additional conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, a library, and special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, local shops, and community events.
