Chalet Village Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 1065 Parkway St in Berne, Indiana, and has operated as a skilled nursing facility since 1987, with 80 certified beds and room for up to 34 residents, which can make the place feel a bit quieter than some others, and with a bed occupancy rate around 43%, that does mean there's space available most of the time. Chalet Village Healthcare Center, as some call it, is run by Ms. Amanda Hirschy as Administrator and Mr. Rodney Dunn as Director of Operations, and they make sure the staff follows all the rules for safety and health, plus stays up to date with regular inspections to keep an active license. The center belongs to a group of nursing homes and works as a for-profit, limited liability company, and it also accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
The building is fully sprinklered for fire safety, and they've got professional nursing services with registered nurses in the building at least 8 hours every day, all week long. Doctors, residents, and families get notified right away if there's a major injury or change in a resident's health. Chalet Village sets up complete care plans for each resident, and these care plans get reviewed and updated as needed, since they perform full assessments covering everything required by law. The center tries to keep residents safe from serious medication mistakes and helps people with eating or grooming if they can't manage on their own, but they'll also encourage each person to continue doing what they can for themselves when possible.
Chalet Village provides skilled nursing care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and dementia care, as well as hospice, rehabilitation, and respite care services. They've got special care units for people living with dementia and memory-related problems, run by the same nursing staff, which tends to make things a little more consistent for folks living there. They offer a program called Homeward Bound for more intensive rehabilitation work, helping people recover from things like strokes, falls, wounds, or other health issues. Outpatient therapy is also available for problems like neuropathy, swallowing trouble, urinary incontinence, and respiratory challenges.
The place caters to the needs and wishes of each resident, meaning they'll match services and amenities as best they can to personal preferences, though they don't always spell them out specifically. Residents here can take advantage of cozy, fully furnished cabins and chalets, with options from a simple one-bedroom to six-bedroom set-ups, and there's access to mountain views, hot tubs, and even pet-friendly spots if you've got a furry companion. Families and visitors can use on-site saunas, tennis courts, and have space to park or use transportation, and there's easy access to local attractions and outdoor activities for people wanting to get out and about. Folks living at Chalet Village Health & Rehabilitation Center can join resident and family councils if they want a say in daily life or care concerns. It's not located inside a hospital and doesn't call itself a continuing care retirement community, nor does it have special BBB accreditation or any special government focus designation. Staff includes a mix of health, ancillary, and business management professionals, and they're expected to keep up a safe ratio of caregivers to seniors at all times in line with licensing laws.
