Ketcham Memorial Center

Ketcham Memorial Center, also called Bertha D Ketcham Memorial Center, sits on 21 acres at 601 East Race Street in Odon, Indiana, and has served the North Daviess community since 1971, always focusing on creating a supportive, homelike setting where staff and residents know each other by name. The facility follows a Small House Dream concept, where they try to make things feel less institutional and more like a home, especially in the memory care section called The Gardens of Ketcham, which includes Rose House and Daisy House. People aged 65 and older can get a wide range of care, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, long-term and continuing care, inpatient and outpatient rehab, respite care, post-acute care, and adult day care. The staff puts effort into making individualized, person-centered care, seeing their work as a calling, and there's a focus on both physical and mental health, with services like therapy for all ages-children and adults-including speech, occupational, and physical therapy, as well as sports medicine, pain management, nutritional counseling with a dietitian, and orthopedic rehab. Ketcham Memorial Center runs a Meals on Wheels program for delivery, and provides regular transportation for medical needs or activities. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and many major insurances like BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Humana, AARP, Mutual of Omaha, and Bankers Life & Casualty. Their skilled nursing staff and therapy teams handle wound care, respiratory services, post-hospitalization care, stroke recovery, and outpatient therapy. Residents and families have a voice through the resident council and family council, while a volunteer Board of Directors oversees the community, keeping it non-profit and community-owned since the start. Ketcham Memorial Center keeps an active calendar of community activities and has built a reputation for quality, receiving honors such as a near flawless "A" inspection grade, an overall "A-minus" rating for quality and staff levels, awards from Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare and LeadingAge Indiana, and top-5 rankings from U.S. News & World Report.
