Journey Senior Living of Valparaiso provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to staff trained for varying levels of need, from moderate support to advanced dementia care. Clinical protocols are in place for residents who wander during the day or night, are at risk of elopement, stay up all night, require wound care, benefit from oxygen therapy, or are younger than 60. Diabetic management is available for those on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage, and the nursing team coordinates closely with physicians to keep care plans current.

Round-the-clock oversight is delivered by an RN or LPN who is on site 24 hours a day, backed by caregivers who have cleared background checks and an awake night shift. Safety measures include fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that immediately alert staff. An activity director coordinates structured programs, while on-site podiatry and a therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and transfers are supported for those who use walkers, wheelchairs, require standby help, or need a one-person assist.

Apartments feature private bathrooms and may include kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, with housekeeping and scheduled laundry included. Not all accommodations have every feature, so touring specific floor plans is recommended to confirm details that matter most to the resident.

Meals are prepared daily with a set menu and made-to-order selections, and snacks are available at any time. Residents may dine in the restaurant-style dining room, request in-room service, or reserve the private dining room for family gatherings. The culinary staff can accommodate gluten-free, mechanical-chop, puréed, or vegetarian diets and works closely with healthcare staff to ensure each resident’s nutritional plan aligns with medical orders.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, barber/beauty shop, communal gardens, Internet access, concierge services, special-interest clubs, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
