Gosport Nursing Home sits at 27 S. Seventh St, Bloomington, Indiana, and covers many kinds of support for seniors and young people, as it's licensed for 74 beds but currently has about 39 residents, which leaves some room for new folks to move in, and it's a Medicaid Certified Nursing Home and also accepts Medicare after getting certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), so people looking for payment options might find some relief there. The home's been part of CMS Quality initiatives, and even if there's no overall rating or health inspection rating at this time, the people running it haven't been flagged as a special focus facility, and they have solid systems in place like sprinklers for safety. Gosport Nursing Home features skilled nursing care with nurses, round-the-clock medical help, and lots of options for wound care, basic medical support, and rehabilitation, and even though there's no RN-only staffing, there are always folks around to make sure residents get the help they need with things like dressing, personal care, and medication reminders.
The facility provides a mix of assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care, so people can get a short stay if their main caregiver needs a break or choose to live there full time, with different wings throughout the campus to fit all these care styles. There are programs and activities meant to keep people busy socially and mentally, with therapy options like group and individual sessions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and also lighter or creative programs through art, music, and even yoga for those who want to join in. Memory care is there for folks with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, giving a secure environment and activities aimed at keeping minds engaged and reducing wandering.
For those needing help every day, the home offers assisted living and independent living, so seniors can get a mix of help with things like personal care, meals, keeping track of pills, and managing laundry or housekeeping, but those who are more active might opt for independent living with less hands-on support. There's a special focus on helping older women with clothing and dressing through features like open-back or elastic waist pants and easy dressing options, which can really make daily routines run smoother.
Nutritious meals, usually one or two per day, get served in the dining rooms, trying to cater to dietary needs as best as possible, and there's a reputation for good meals from past residents. The staff often get mentioned as helpful and friendly, creating a warm place for the people who live there and their family visitors. Family and resident councils are in place so community voices can be heard and suggestions for improvements get passed up to the administration, and Debra Pardue stands as the contact point for questions and planning.
Gosport Nursing Home branches out beyond just senior care-it runs mental health programs with support for depression, anxiety, trauma, and different disorders, plus they offer substance abuse treatment, detox help, and co-occurring care so people dealing with several challenges at once aren't left behind. Young people aged 13-17 can take part in adolescent mental health and substance abuse treatment services, including some programs made just for teenagers.
Amenities help with daily chores, and residents have access to laundry, housekeeping, clean rooms, and some of the best-rated activities lauded statewide, with the location receiving awards for both living and activities. Aftercare appointment help, legal, and educational support are included as part of the case management system, aiding both residents and families as they plot next steps or transitions in care. Though the facility isn't part of a hospital or a bigger continuing care retirement community, and it operates under a for-profit model, it's been called a top-rated community thanks to high review scores, a supportive staff, and good programs meant to help make senior living safer and more engaging for everyone inside. The whole place is fully sprinklered for fire safety, and with its mix of care options, mental health, therapy, rehab, and meal support, Gosport Nursing Home serves people with different needs under one roof.
