Cedar Creek of Muncie is an assisted-living community that centers its medical program on consistent monitoring and intervention for residents who need help managing chronic conditions. Staff members are trained to support diabetics who rely on oral medication, those who self-inject insulin, and residents whose insulin requirements are regulated through sliding-scale protocols. The community is also equipped to serve individuals living with moderate dementia, offering structured oversight without moving residents to a separate memory-care wing. By limiting its focus to assisted living, the team can streamline clinical oversight and adjust care plans quickly as residents’ medical needs change.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Caregivers work an awake night shift, and every hire is subject to background checks. Pull-cord alert systems, door alarms, 24-hour staffing, and a fenced rear area add layers of security. The on-site therapy room allows physical, occupational, or speech therapy providers to treat residents without scheduling outside appointments. Direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while eating remains resident-led for those able to self-feed. Transfer support ranges from standby help to one-person lifts, and walkers or wheelchairs are accommodated as part of daily routines. An activity director coordinates engagement so health care is balanced with purposeful social interaction.
Apartments at Cedar Creek of Muncie vary in layout, and not every unit contains every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent climate controls, cable service, and the opportunity to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping is provided on a scheduled basis, and laundry can be handled by staff according to a preset calendar. The goal is to allow residents to retain control over their living environment while ensuring that essential chores do not become burdens.
The dining program combines a standing menu with made-to-order selections at each meal. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and residents can request in-room tray service when recovery or preference makes the common dining room less practical. Families may reserve a private dining room for gatherings, and the kitchen team manages physician-ordered diets, diabetic guidelines, and vegetarian preferences.
Residents have access to on-site parking, smoking areas outdoors, and fully wheelchair-accessible 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. A barber and beauty shop, reliable internet connections, communal gardens, religious services on campus, concierge assistance, and a library complete the list of amenities intended to simplify daily living and reduce the need to leave campus for routine errands or leisure.
