Majestic Care of Fort Wayne sits in the Waynedale area on the south side of Fort Wayne, Indiana, offering skilled nursing care to about 67 residents each day in a quiet, peaceful setting with 70 certified beds. The building's well-kept and comfortable for both short-term and long-term stays, and staff members support residents through nursing care, rehabilitation, adult day care, assisted living, memory care, and behavioral health services, and they also have help for residents who need IV therapy, wound care, or hospice care. The Care Team focuses on treating each person with respect and compassion, and the management, under Majestic Care Of Fort Wayne LLC since June 2018, works to provide a stable and structured environment, especially for people living with dementia or other behavioral health needs.
Majestic Care of Fort Wayne's therapy department offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, customizing programs to match each resident's needs, which helps folks recover after illness or injury and supports those with long-term challenges. Meals come prepared with help from a Registered Dietitian, and residents can eat together in a dining area or have private meals in their rooms. Amenities include emergency call systems, private and hallway rooms, lounges, and vending areas for daily comfort, and planned activities and outings give folks something to look forward to.
Nurses provide 24-hour coverage, though the facility's nurse hours per resident, about 2.83 hours a day, fall below the average of 3.7 across the state, and nurse turnover, while a bit lower than average, still sits at 46.4%. The staff is made up of specially trained professionals who work to create a family-like feel, and leadership keeps a close eye on improving each day. There's a focus on care plans made for each person and a mission about individualizing quality of life for every resident.
The most recent inspection reported nine deficiencies, including issues with managing gradual dose reductions for psychotropic medications and ensuring freedom from significant medication mistakes. One of these caused actual harm, but it wasn't considered immediate jeopardy. Residents in need of memory care, support for psychiatric or behavioral issues, or skilled nursing find services here, with hospice and respite care also on hand for those who need them, and outpatient therapy is available for recovery or ongoing needs. The property is managed by a local team and belongs to the Majestic Care Communities network, which runs other facilities across Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan.
