Countryside Manor Health & Living Community sits on five acres in a quiet part of central Anderson, Indiana, surrounded by neighborhoods and near St. Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital and Community Hospital Anderson, and the campus looks park-like and has gardens, walking paths, and plenty of green space where residents can get outside if they like. The community follows the continuing care model, so there are options for independent living for active seniors, assisted living for people who need some help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and skilled nursing care for people who need ongoing medical support or help after a hospital stay, and there's also memory care in a special neighborhood called The Neighborhood in Altenheim, which focuses on dementia and Alzheimer's care with extra safety and support. The staff include nurses, therapists, and aides who try to help each person get the right kind of care, and there's a 24-hour call system, supervision around the clock, and rooms that work for people who need wheelchairs or help moving around, and while not all of them, some staff might speak languages other than English.
The place offers private rooms that come with their own bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, telephones, air conditioning, furnishings, and Wi-Fi internet so residents can stay connected, and there's also move-in coordination, a concierge, and plenty of help with housekeeping, laundry, and meals, including special diets for people with allergies or diabetes, and residents can eat in a dining room where chefs cook each day and there are all-day dining options, with family support offered as well. For people with more serious health needs, the skilled nursing side offers a whole range of medical care, including on-site dialysis, therapy, and long-term care, and the community keeps strong connections with local doctors and specialists.
There are activities as well, like fitness classes, movie nights, game rooms, music and art programs, outdoor programs, an activity room, a spa or wellness space, and resident-led activities, and residents can use the fitness room, walking paths, or gardens if they want, with transportation and parking provided for trips off campus. The facility has Medicaid suites available for those who qualify and accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, making it easier for people who need financial help. At the moment, the community isn't admitting new residents. The staff tries to focus on improving quality of life and making sure each resident is comfortable and has what they need, and the CarDon family runs Countryside Manor with a "Family-first Senior Living" focus, but right now, they're not accepting new patients into the community.
