Silver Birch of Muncie is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need daily support but want to maintain as much independence as possible. The staff can monitor and assist people who are up during the night, manage oxygen use, and oversee diabetic care whether it involves oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing. Mild dementia needs are also accommodated, with routines and supervision aimed at maintaining safety and orientation.
Licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, and every employee undergoes background checks. An awake night shift, a pull-cord alert system in apartments, and 24-hour security ensure quick response to any issue. A dedicated therapy room brings rehabilitative services into the building. For personal care, team members can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting and will cue or supervise eating when needed. Mobility support ranges from standby help with a walker to one-person transfers for wheelchair users.
Apartments may offer a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and the option to paint or decorate the space, while routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry keep living areas in order. Not every suite includes every feature, so it is best to confirm specific details when touring.
Meals are available through a rotating set menu as well as an on-order option for more choice. Snacks can be picked up throughout the day, and residents who prefer can have meals delivered to their rooms. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings without leaving the community.
Residents have access to on-site parking, fully wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, communal gardens, concierge services, a library, special-interest clubs, and an outdoor walking path. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping, and local events without the burden of driving.
