Lutheran Life Villages - The Village at Pine Valley

Lutheran Life Villages - The Village at Pine Valley sits in Fort Wayne and has provided care as part of a faith-based, nonprofit group that's been serving Northeast Indiana since 1931, so there's a long tradition of looking after older adults here. This place offers several care levels, so people can find assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, memory care, and short-term rehab all within one community, and since it's a Lutheran-based group, there's a focus on compassionate care and spiritual support through full-time Pastoral Care and chapel services, but they welcome people of every faith and background. Five-star ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services say something about how folks feel the care is given, and they're also part of a network called the High Performing Network that Parkview Health has picked out, which adds another layer of trust. You'll find round-the-clock nursing care, a real home-like setting, private and semi-private rooms that are modern and clean, and things like safety features, kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, cable TV, and sprinkler systems for peace of mind. When it's time for eating, residents can expect meals in a dining room with restaurant-style service and menu choices that meet dietary restrictions under the eyes of a licensed dietician. The social program includes games, music, arts, crafts, wellness events, education, and activities with kids from foster grandparent programs, plus there are fitness centers, game rooms, and even a hair salon and barbershop. They offer short-term and long-term rehab therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy in private rehab suites, handle laundry and housekeeping, help with dressing and grooming needs, and provide services like medication management and wound care, while also helping with medical appointments by providing rides. There are both the main building and an independent cottage area called Piper Trail, along with memory care for those who need it, and social workers are on hand to support families and help with any worries or transitions. Lutheran Life Villages - The Village at Pine Valley combines these services and amenities so many residents can stay as independent as possible while also being well cared for in a friendly, modern facility.
