United Methodist Memorial Home/Dogwood Glen in Warren, Indiana, offers three distinct living options. Independent Living is geared toward residents who manage most daily tasks on their own but want the convenience of a supportive setting. Assisted Living adds help with activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication reminders while still encouraging residents to do as much for themselves as possible. The community also operates a dedicated Memory Care program for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, delivering structured routines and specialized oversight aimed at minimizing confusion and agitation.
The campus is a secured community with controlled entry points designed to protect residents who may be at risk of wandering. On-site physicians oversee regular wellness checks, and short-term respite stays allow families temporary relief or a safe place for a loved one to recover after hospitalization. Diabetes management support includes blood-sugar monitoring and diet coordination. Additional medical resources available on the premises include optometry, podiatry, dentistry, ambulatory and incontinence care, hospice coordination, medication management, and spaces designed specifically to accommodate memory loss. All care services are embedded within the Memory Care-only section when appropriate, ensuring continuity for residents who require heightened supervision.
Apartments and suites vary in size and layout. Many feature kitchenettes for light meal preparation, cable or satellite TV hookups, Wi-Fi access, individual climate control, and sometimes a central fireplace view or direct access to outdoor areas with seating. Select units are located near a communal piano or organ area, and parking is available for residents who still drive. Because floor plans differ, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so families are encouraged to confirm specifics during a tour.
Dining follows an all-day model, letting residents choose mealtimes that fit personal routines. Restaurant-style table service comes with standard menus as well as options for low- or no-sodium, no-sugar, vegan, and other therapeutic diets necessary for medical plans such as diabetes care. Guest meals can be arranged so visiting family can dine alongside residents. Snacks and beverages remain available between scheduled meals to reduce the risk of unintended weight loss.
Recreational and therapeutic amenities include a library with computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, woodworking shop, and an activity center that hosts clubs, live music, birthday parties, and social outings. Fitness classes meet regularly, while reminiscence and sensory-based programs support residents in Memory Care. Intergenerational activities encourage interaction with local youth groups, helping to sustain community connections.
