    Compassionate staff, leadership needs overhaul

    I had a mixed experience. The staff - nurses, aides, therapists and activity team - were compassionate, responsive and personable; the small, clean, home-like facility and strong therapy program really helped my loved one and made our family feel safe. However, food service and diabetic meals were inconsistent, and recurring management problems (poor communication, understaffing, reports of neglect/abuse and retaliatory behavior) undermined care. Lovely people working there, but leadership needs an overhaul - recommend only with caution and close oversight.

    About Life Care Center of Fort Wayne

    Life Care Center of Fort Wayne sits at 1649 Spy Run Ave, offering several types of senior living like assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services, and it lends strong healthcare support for seniors who need help with everyday tasks such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and using the bathroom, and there's a dedicated staff who provides round-the-clock skilled nursing care, so families often mention those high review scores and positive feedback because their loved ones feel looked after. The place has different room choices including studio, single, and two-bedroom options for assisted living, and both private and semi-private rooms for nursing care, while those who need short-term rehab after surgery or illness can stay in private rehabilitation suites, and outpatient rehab services are available for folks who don't need to stay overnight but could use some therapy. The team offers personalized therapy programs aimed at helping residents regain strength, speech, or movement, with physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies included, and wound care, medication support, podiatry, and even suction and oxygen therapies are available right on site. Residents who have Alzheimer's or other memory issues get specialized attention through memory care services, which try to keep each person as independent as possible. Meals are served daily with a focus on nutrition and quality ingredients, and there's always someone to make sure special diets are followed, plus the dining rooms are comfortable and can give a sense of normalcy. Social activities, arts and crafts, educational programs, exercise in the fitness center, and health and wellness activities keep things interesting, while housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services make daily living easier. The community offers wheelchair and personal care assistance, along with transportation services to help residents get to appointments or outings, so no one feels stuck inside all day. Safety features like handicap-accessible areas and a sprinkler system are part of the building, and there are modern touches like Wi-Fi, cable TV, and guest parking for visitors who stop by. The beauty salon, game and activities room, community kitchens and kitchenettes, and a regular cleaning staff help support a welcoming environment. The center focuses on listening to feedback, developing personal care plans, and telling stories about care-there's even a section on their website showing off their staff, memory care, and rehab services, with updates and photos shared through social media to help families keep up. Long-term care insurance is accepted, which can ease some of the financial concerns. Tour scheduling and online contact options are set up for anyone wanting a closer look. So with everything blended together, Life Care Center of Fort Wayne works to provide a steady, safe, and supportive place for older adults, with its team focusing on both health care and helping folks feel at home.
