Towne Centre in Merrillville, Indiana, offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care. Care teams are trained to manage behaviors such as daytime or nighttime wandering and elopement risk, and staff are prepared for residents who stay up all night. Nurses monitor oxygen therapy, provide wound care, and oversee diabetic management whether a resident is on oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community also accepts residents with advanced dementia, tailoring care plans to changing cognitive needs.
Clinical support is reinforced with an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Caregivers remain awake through the night, and all employees undergo background checks. A fenced rear area, door alarms, and in-room pull cords combine with 24-hour security staff to reduce safety risks. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision to single-person lifts for walkers or wheelchairs. Residents can see an on-site podiatrist, while an activity director organizes daily engagement.
Apartments are offered with a mix of features that can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable service; not every unit has every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts when touring. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, allowing residents to focus on daily routines rather than chores.
Dining options cover a set daily menu as well as made-to-order dishes. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be served in the apartment for those who prefer in-room dining. A private dining room is reserved for family visits or special occasions, and vegetarian choices are part of the standard offerings.
Residents have access to on-site parking, smoking areas outside, and wheelchair-friendly common spaces. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, library, special-interest clubs, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings.
