Tanglewood Trace in Mishawaka, IN supports both Assisted Living and Independent Living residents. Care options include short-term respite stays, ongoing physical therapy, a structured mental wellness program, and focused diabetes management. Physicians visit the community, and residents who need extra monitoring can receive it without leaving the campus. These services allow individuals to step up or down in care intensity without changing addresses, which is useful for those recovering from illness or looking for a gradual transition from independence to assistance.
Additional clinical resources are in place every day. A 12- to 16-hour nursing presence oversees medication management, incontinence support, and ambulatory assistance, backed by an emergency call system in each apartment. On-site professionals include podiatrists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists, while hospice and memory care services are available for residents with advanced or specialized needs. Laundry and dry-cleaning services help maintain hygiene standards, and routine nurse assessments adjust care plans as conditions change.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to units with kitchenettes, patios, balconies, or decks. Select floor plans feature wall-to-wall carpet, cable or satellite TV access, Wi-Fi, individually controlled air conditioning, and wheelchair-accessible showers, though not every accommodation contains every option. Utilities are included, resident and uncovered parking are available, and common areas such as an indoor atrium, library and computer lounge, landscaped grounds, and a piano or organ provide additional spaces for daily use.
Meals are prepared on site and served restaurant-style three times a day, with guest meals offered on request. Menu choices include vegetarian dishes as well as low-sodium and no-sugar options to support physician-ordered diets. Healthy snacks are available between meals to help residents manage energy levels and blood-sugar fluctuations.
Residents have access to an activity center, regular social outings, happy hour gatherings, and yoga or chair-yoga sessions. Scheduled events include birthday parties, bingo, TV or movie nights, and live-music performances. A swimming pool and organized health and wellness programs round out the recreational calendar, giving residents multiple ways to stay active and engaged.
