The Terrace at Ft Wayne sits close to Huntington Memorial Hospital and local doctors, and the community works with outside healthcare providers when someone needs more help. The staff offers round-the-clock supervision, medication management, and emergency response systems, so residents feel safe day and night. The team uses health monitoring systems to keep an eye on wellbeing and react quickly if something goes wrong. They serve three homemade meals every day, prepared by chefs and adjusted by dietitians, with special diets available for those who need them, including vegetarian and renal options. People get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and moving around, but the focus remains on letting everyone stay as independent as possible in a comfortable setting.
The community provides different levels of care-independent and assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, continuing care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite care, and also home care if needed, all within the same property. New residents work with the staff to build a customized Service Care Plan, so support fits what each person wants, without paying for help they don't need. The staff gives more than just care; they offer companionship, emotional support, and help residents feel like they belong and have a purpose. People can join group exercise, brain fitness, yoga, dance, or meditation programs led by caring staff. Activities Director Nathan Hegge plans many different events, parties, and hobbies, and there are volunteer opportunities for people who want to spend time with residents and help out.
Apartment choices at The Terrace include studios, alcoves, or suites, each with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, walk-in showers, emergency call systems, closet space, living rooms, internet, and phones. Pets are welcome. The apartments and common spaces, like the library, art and craft room, barber and beauty shops, and game room, are made for easy access, with features for those using wheelchairs or needing help moving. Residents can relax outside in the secure courtyard, walk garden paths surrounded by flowers and a white picket fence, or enjoy the gazebo and patio. On-site, there's restaurant-style or casual dining, worship services, and a lounge for socializing or reading. Transportation takes people to medical visits, shopping, or community outings, and scheduled housekeeping and laundry services keep things tidy.
For those needing memory care, staff encourages routines and planned activities to help reduce confusion and stop wandering, making the environment safe for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia. Therapy and support groups, including physical, speech, occupational, and post-acute therapies, help residents stay healthy and engaged. There's cardiac, diabetic, hospice, and medical care on offer, with ongoing health monitoring. Estate planning, financial aid assistance, and travel plans are supported on-site by a 24/7 concierge.
The Terrace has six levels of care, so seniors can stay as their needs change. The staff is certified in elder care, behavior support, chronic illness, mobility, and safety. The property has controlled access, fall prevention, and medical alert systems for peace of mind. People can gather for meals outdoors, bring guests, or enjoy cookouts and seasonal events. The atmosphere feels peaceful and welcoming, with cheery staff who help residents build friendships and keep their independence. The Terrace tries to make every day comfortable, safe, and meaningful for residents, aiming to be a place where people can thrive in later life.
