Saint Anne Home is a nonprofit, church-related retirement community in Fort Wayne that offers nursing care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care services, so folks looking for help with daily living or specialized support for Alzheimer's can find what they need, and with annual inspections by the Indiana State Department of Health, you can check the latest survey results right in the lobby or online at medicare.gov. The staff follows all state and federal rules and there's round-the-clock supervision, regular visits from licensed nurses, and special care programs for people with dementia, including memory care apartments set around a family room with 24-hour staff. The place has over 100 guest rooms and offers different apartment sizes, floor plans, and furnishings based on what people need, with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and both furnished and unfurnished options, plus every room has cable TV, phone, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi.
Saint Anne Home cares for residents' health in many ways, offering 24-hour nursing, medication help, therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus a restorative nursing program and social services, so families get support as care needs change; on top of that, the therapy department has a modern 3,500-square-foot gym, and there are 16 rehab suites for short-term stays and outpatient therapy if you only need to visit for a while. Folks can choose their own physician, and there are on-site visits for vision, dental, hearing, and podiatry concerns. There's a pharmacy, in-house beauty salon and barber at the Serenity Salon & Spa, a resident-run general store and thrift shop, a gift shop, and a coffee shop called Randallia Roast.
When it comes to food, Saint Anne Home serves meals in a restaurant-style dining room with a professional chef, and residents pick from options for special diets, including for allergies or diabetes, plus all-day dining is available with open hours from 7am to 7pm, and there's a dining room on each floor. The staff takes care of transportation, parking, housekeeping, laundry, and even move-in coordination and concierge services. Residents can enjoy a heated indoor pool and whirlpool, garden, walking paths, greenhouses, fitness rooms and programs, movie theater, music, daily Mass, pastoral care every day of the week, and a schedule full of arts and crafts such as quilting, painting, ceramics, and artwork projects, along with recreational events like candy, cookie, and craft sales, outings, and even country rides.
For support, there are family services, accepted coverage for Medicaid and Medicare, social and pastoral care teams, and active volunteer programs, so families know someone will assist when needs rise. Every apartment has an emergency alert system, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible with safe transfers and 24-hour call systems. Residents who like their privacy can choose independent apartments, which come with a range of services if they want them, while people needing more daily help get respectful assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, and medication management. Saint Anne Home's memory care is set up for safety and support, and the community works to treat everyone as family, focusing on the whole person-body, mind, heart, and spirit-while encouraging independence in a dignified, caring way.
