Colonial Assisted Living in Vincennes offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents access to a range of clinical oversight levels. Nurses and caregivers can manage up-all-night needs, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes treatment whether the resident uses oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale protocol. The team is also prepared to support residents with mild dementia, coordinating closely with primary physicians to keep care plans current.
Around-the-clock nursing oversight is backed by background-checked staff, an awake night shift, on-site security, and a PERS alert system that immediately notifies caregivers. Residents have access to a therapy room for rehabilitation services, and an activity director coordinates daily engagement. Staff can assist with bathing, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is required, and they provide standby supervision for eating. Mobility support ranges from simple walker assistance to one-person transfers for wheelchair users or those who only need standby help.
Apartments feature practical touches such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Some residences add perks like a patio or even a garage, but not every unit includes every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, helping residents keep living spaces tidy.
Dining is built around choice and dietary oversight. Meals can be ordered individually, taken in the dining room, enjoyed in private dining spaces with family, or served in-room when preferred. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary staff manages specialized meal plans, including vegetarian menus and physician-ordered diet modifications. Independent Living residents can also sign up for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that simplifies nutrition without giving up autonomy.
Residents access on-site amenities such as ample parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, internet service, communal gardens, a library, and a full schedule of religious services and special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit make off-site appointments and shopping straightforward. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
