Bickford of Wabash provides two distinct levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—allowing residents to remain in the same community even if their needs change. The team is prepared to manage moderate dementia conditions and delivers targeted medical support that includes diabetes monitoring, speech therapy services, and options for respite or short-term stays. Residents benefit from scheduled visits by medical professionals who coordinate closely with on-site staff to ensure medications are administered on time and therapies are conducted as prescribed.
Safety and day-to-day assistance are reinforced by a pull-cord alert system that immediately summons caregivers. On-site medical capabilities cover medication management, specialized memory-care programming, incontinence support, ambulatory assistance, hospice coordination, occupational and physical therapy, and podiatry services. Staff members help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when some physical assistance is required, and they can accommodate transfers that involve a walker, wheelchair, or standby supervision.
Accommodations range from studios to larger layouts, some featuring kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, and Wi-Fi access. Select apartments look onto a butterfly garden, while others are near a central fireplace or offer convenient parking access. Common areas include a piano for resident use and several outdoor seating spaces. Because each unit is configured differently, not all accommodations contain every feature noted, so touring the available options is advised.
Dining centers on balanced, home-style meals served three times a day, with snacks always available. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special events, and menu adjustments are made for specific medical or cultural requirements. Staff remain on hand to assist residents who need help with utensil use or portion control, aligning meal service with individual care plans.
Residents have access to additional amenities such as a barber and beauty shop, wheelchair-accessible common areas, on-site religious services, and a concierge who can arrange transportation or schedule appointments. Pets are allowed in designated apartments and common areas. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
