Hammond-Whiting Care Center in Whiting, Indiana, operates as a skilled nursing facility that provides around-the-clock clinical oversight. Residents have access to short-term rehabilitation programs designed to ease the transition from hospital to home, as well as formally structured respite stays that give family caregivers a break while maintaining professional supervision. The center maintains a pulmonary rehabilitation program and on-site respiratory therapy for individuals managing chronic lung conditions or recovering from acute respiratory episodes. These services are delivered by licensed nurses, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitation specialists who coordinate care plans with attending physicians.

Beyond the core medical programs, the facility supports residents with routine health monitoring, medication administration, and assistance with daily activities. Staff members create individualized plans that adjust as needs change, ensuring that mobility support, wound care, and social services are integrated where required. Discharge planning and caregiver education are part of the process so families understand follow-up needs when a resident returns home or moves to another level of care.

Accommodations at Hammond-Whiting Care Center include private and semi-private rooms with access to wireless internet, standard cable television, and regular housekeeping. Some rooms overlook landscaped outdoor areas, and a library and computer lounge offers a quiet place to read or connect online. The property is pet friendly, and visiting hours remain flexible to accommodate family schedules; however, not every room includes every feature, so confirming details during a tour is recommended.

Three nutritionally balanced meals are provided each day, and staff can adjust menus to meet physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft options. Meal service is organized to encourage social interaction in common dining spaces, yet tray service to a resident’s room can be arranged when recovery or personal preference requires it. Hydration stations and light snacks are available between meals.

Residents can take part in scheduled activities held in the center’s activity room, join interest-based clubs and community groups, and attend evening TV or movie nights organized by the recreation team. These programs aim to maintain engagement and routine without interfering with medical or rehabilitation schedules, allowing residents to balance clinical goals with social interaction.
