Bethlehem Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation sits in a quiet neighborhood in Northeast Fort Wayne, close to highways 69 and 469, making it easy for families to visit or residents to go out when needed, and this place works hard to feel like home, with welcoming spaces, home-like rooms, and a mix of modern touches like Wi-Fi and cable TV in each room for comfort and connection. Residents can spend time outdoors in the greenhouse, take care of plants in the gardening area, or sit in one of the courtyards and gardens, and there's always a chance to gather with others in the dining rooms, common areas, and patios. The staff aims to provide care that's shaped for each person's needs, whether someone needs skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, memory care in a reminiscence and dementia-supportive setting, or different types of rehabilitation and therapy, and the place covers short-term stays too, including respite care for families who need a break and outpatient rehab for folks recovering after surgery or illness.
The team at Bethlehem Woods includes doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, and other healthcare experts who work together to help with both everyday needs and more complex challenges, with physical, occupational, and speech/language therapy as part of the care and a focus on returning residents home safely when possible, using in-home safety checks before discharge so people can get around at home. They offer special programs, like "Road to Recovery," where the team maps out each person's goals in the first few days after arrival, and "Moving Forward," which helps folks regain abilities after strokes, heart trouble, or surgery. There are specific memory care programs that use wellness-based approaches and structured plans to keep residents active and mentally engaged, while also providing a safe space for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's. For those who need extra support, Bethlehem Woods provides palliative care, pain management, wound care, hospice care, and long-term nursing care, so residents with serious health needs have what they need on-site.
Laboratory and pharmacy services are available inside, and medication management is handled by trained staff. The therapy team designs exercises to help with swallowing, speaking, managing daily routines, moving around safely, and building strength, including fall prevention programs and safety evaluations. Families can turn to the staff for clear answers and practical support, as the team focuses on helping loved ones find solutions and peace of mind through life's changes. With a full continuum of care and a lot of thoughtful amenities, Bethlehem Woods aims to meet people where they are, offering respectful, compassionate help in a setting that tries to feel both secure and welcoming.
