Creekside Village sits on East Douglas Road in Mishawaka, Indiana, and has taken care of seniors for over 25 years, always open 24/7, with a warm, inviting building that feels home-like and safe, filled with clean, well-kept rooms that use wood colors to give a cozy feeling, and the staff always speak English and are known for being caring and compassionate, treating the residents like family while offering person-centered care that aims to bring peace of mind to both residents and their families. You'll find skilled nurses, aides, cooks, therapists, and transportation staff working together to provide long-term care, short-term rehab, respite, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and hospice services, and there are meal services that residents say are hot, prompt, and taste very good or at least fair, plus the team keeps the place clean with regular housekeeping and will drive residents to appointments if needed. They have shared rooms with separate bathrooms so residents don't have to be too close to their roommates, and family members are welcome to take part in treatment and recovery planning, especially with programs like their "Road to Recovery," which tries to plan for going home within three days of being admitted when possible, and care is always tailored to each person with staff working in teams that include doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, and other specialists.
The ratings are decent, with an overall B-, a long-term care quality grade of B-, and short-term care scoring a bit higher at B+, and their inspections stand out since they got an A and had no severe problems reported, which means there haven't been big issues with the way the place is run. Nurses-both RNs and LPNs-as well as CNAs and therapists, give care around the clock, making sure medication is managed, therapies like physical, occupational, speech, and even stroke recovery, cardiac rehab, orthopedic rehab, pain management, wound care, contracture management, walking programs, and mobility training are offered, and they even handle respiratory care, nutritional counseling, and palliative support. The care plans are always personalized, so residents get the attention and services most suited for whatever health needs they have, and they also work with area hospice groups to make sure people at the end of life get full support, spiritual and social counseling, pharmacy needs, and comfort-focused care. Outpatient therapy's available too, using new techniques and technology to help folks move easier and hurt less, and for families who need a break, there's respite care, where someone can stay for a short time while the caregiver handles other duties.
The meals are served in a way that aims to be prompt and tasty, with cooks who try to make dining pleasant, and the kitchen's known for keeping food hot, while the building's kept tidy and cheerful by the housekeeping staff so there's always a welcoming feeling, especially since community is a core value here. Creekside Village accepts several ways to pay, including Medicaid for those who qualify, though it's worth knowing that they're not accepting new patients at the moment, and there aren't any office hours or fax numbers listed. The website offers information on care choices, but there can be trouble now and then with a CloudFront-generated error message. In terms of strengths, Creekside Village stands out for its long history, dedicated healthcare teams, clean and secure layout, and a broad mix of therapies and care options, including memory, skilled nursing, pain management, fall prevention, and more, always trying to help residents live the best life possible, even when daily challenges and health issues come up.
