Miller's Merry Manor - Columbia City sits in a quiet, car-dependent part of Columbia City, Indiana, and has been recognized with strong inspection ratings, including an A-plus grade and a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which both say a lot about how seriously the staff takes their work. Residents can get a wide range of care here, from skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care to independent living and adult day care services, so folks with many different needs have a place. Registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, therapists, and medical staff provide wound care, pain management, diabetes management, respiratory therapy, and complicated services like tracheostomy care, oxygen therapy, total parenteral nutrition, and cardiac therapy, so that covers a lot of ground for people who might need extra help. Rehabilitative programs include inpatient and outpatient rehab, alongside physical, occupational, and speech therapies, which means support for those needing long- or short-term recovery after injuries or hospital stays. The memory care part of the community is meant to help seniors with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia with safety, structure, and activities that help reduce confusion or wandering.
The facility offers assisted living help with daily routines like bathing, dressing, and medication, and the staff try to make everyone comfortable and involved, which many people find important. Residents have access to nutritious meals, some made by a professional chef, in several dining choices that fit certain diets. Housekeeping, laundry, home care by trained aides, and personal care homemaking round out the daily services, and transportation, family support, and move-in help make transitions easier, especially for families who can't always be there. There are many types of activities, from movie nights, games, and music programs to gardening, fitness classes, and library time, so days aren't dull and staying active is encouraged. Private rooms come with bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, climate control, and emergency alert systems, and the building's accessible with wheelchair accommodations and help with transfers.
The community organizes a resident council for those who like to be involved in decisions, but there isn't a family council. Financial options include Medicare and Medicaid, so more families can afford care, and they've got a straightforward approach to costs for different room layouts. Miller's Merry Manor builds itself on being helpful, friendly, and supportive by keeping a staff that's known for kindness and attentiveness; the aim is for everyone to live with as much independence and emotional well-being as possible. Other features, like an on-site spa, garden, outdoor walking paths, scheduled activities, and recreation rooms, make the surroundings a bit brighter. The community's review score is 4.3 out of 6 reviews, and its community rating is 7.6 out of 10, ranking fourth in the city, so it's known for reliable and steady care, even if it's not at the very top of every possible ranking. Miller's Health Systems, a corporation, operates the facility, and it's recognized locally for maintaining a pleasant, safe space for seniors and their loved ones.
