Muncie Estates Senior Living sits at 1601 N Morrison Rd in Muncie, Indiana, and people like it because it offers several types of care, so folks can keep living there even as they need more help as time passes, and there's independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite, and even skilled nursing if things get harder, all in one community with a homey feel, so you don't have to move once you're settled in, and you'll find a staff that's there around the clock, including nurses on-site and doctors on call for health issues, and trained health staff ready day or night, along with safety tech such as alarms on bracelets and secure doors to keep everyone safe, especially in the memory care building, which is just for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and it's in its own section with supervised care, reminders, and a special Chronicles memory care program that uses the Best Friends™ approach, focusing on each individual's story. The staff can help with almost anything, including bathing, moving, med reminders, insulin shots, diabetic care without sliding scale therapy, and even bowel and bladder incontinence that residents can manage, plus behavioral care for folks who get aggressive or confused, and they'll remind residents to use the restroom if needed, and help with heavy, medium, or light assistance-whatever the person needs that day, and they can use lifts and do one- or two-person transfers if someone can't stand up or move on their own.
Residents who like pets can bring a cat or dog, and those who need memory care but wander or show hard-to-manage behavior can still find a place, because the facility is designed to handle wandering, alarm bracelets, secure doors, and staff who check frequently, so safety stays a focus. Apartments include kitchenettes, emergency call systems, and some have full kitchens, with Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV in common areas, and options for studio or one-bedroom suites, so everyone picks what suits them best, and there's private and shared rooms. People who don't feel like eating with everyone in the dining room can get room service meals, and for most meals there's restaurant-style dining choices, with international foods, special diets such as low-salt or low-sugar, and guest meals if anyone visits. There are daily recreation events, loads of clubs and outings, from stretching, Tai Chi, art and cooking classes, gardening, to trivia, Wii Bowling, wine tastings, even trips out and devotional services, music groups, ice cream parlor, pets programs, a courtyard, and a library, so most folks can find something that fits their mood each week. You'll also find beauty and barber shops for a small fee, open lounges, sitting rooms, and areas to meet friends or relax, with grab bars, wheelchair accessible bathrooms, and lots of common spaces both outside and indoors.
Medical visits are easy since podiatrists, dentists, nurses, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists stop by, and the staff can help with meds, health checks, and anything from light reminders to full personal care, plus hospice and end-of-life support when it's needed. There's devoted housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, and people can get private housekeeping too, and whenever someone needs to go out, there's a community van and rides for outings, along with parking for anyone who keeps their own car, or for guests, all in a spot a short drive from other shops and attractions in East Central Indiana. Muncie Estates Senior Living works well for older adults who need anything from a little help each day to those who need secure memory care and a steady, stable environment, and people appreciate the full schedule of activities, kind staff, and the promise that they can age in place.
