What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The continuum of care at Kendallville Manor ranges from short-term rehabilitation to long-term skilled nursing and compassionate memory care. Their experienced staff also provides dedicated respite stays and palliative support, ensuring continuous, 24/7 assistance for whatever stage of life a resident is navigating.
Therapies
The clinical team relies heavily on targeted physical, occupational, and speech therapy routines to safely restore a resident's independence. Beyond traditional rehabilitation, individuals benefit from rigorous wound care protocols, nutritional planning, and the distinct emotional uplift of regular therapy animal visits.
Addictions
Kendallville Manor serves as a skilled nursing and physical rehabilitation center rather than a substance abuse treatment facility. Individuals seeking specialized recovery programs for drug or alcohol addiction should consult a dedicated behavioral health provider.
Conditions
Nursing staff and clinicians at this community manage a wide array of complex health challenges, including congestive heart failure, COPD, and recovery from major strokes. They also maintain a secure, highly structured memory care division tailored specifically for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
Issues
When caregiver stress becomes overwhelming, families can utilize short-term respite stays to recharge while knowing their loved ones are safe. The interdisciplinary staff also helps residents navigate the physical and emotional hurdles of unexpected amputations, balance management, and sudden losses in mobility.
Programs
Their signature Rehab to Home track operates as a highly focused program designed to equip patients with the practical mobility and self-care skills needed to safely return to independent living. For chronic needs, the palliative care track shifts the focus toward managing daily symptoms and prioritizing personal dignity alongside family education.
On-site
Amenities
Uniquely distinguished as the area’s only smoking-friendly center, the campus is designed to feel like a true home rather than a hospital. Residents can enjoy morning coffee on a fenced patio surrounded by planter boxes, or relax indoors using the well-stocked library and on-site beauty salon.
Coverage
Payment
Financial access and coverage navigation are straightforward, as the facility actively accepts Medicare to fund its skilled nursing services. The admissions team provides around-the-clock intake support, helping families easily confirm benefits when a sudden hospitalization requires immediate residential care.
Eligibility
Who We Serve
Older adults and seniors from throughout the region find a close-knit, family-like environment at Kendallville Manor. The community is deliberately scaled to serve both individuals recovering from sudden medical events and long-stay residents who thrive in a smaller setting where caregivers know everyone by name.
Age Groups
Additional Services
Kendallville Manor wraps its clinical offerings in deep logistical support, providing comprehensive medication management and transportation to off-site medical appointments. Visits from local area churches offer steady spiritual support, while a dedicated long-term resident welcome committee ensures every new arrival feels instantly embraced.
