Hoosier Health & Living sits in Brownstown, Indiana as a senior living community that offers a wide range of care options, and you see everything from independent living to skilled nursing, memory support, and even hospice care right inside the same place, which makes it easy for folks to age in place without having to move around a lot, and the garden homes are set up for more independent folks, while the main health care center holds 97 certified beds with an average of about 86 residents each day, so there's almost always activity going on somewhere, whether it's in the courtyards, patios, or the common rooms where people gather to chat or take part in group activities. The care at Hoosier Health & Living includes independent living services, assisted living options, memory support, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health (Medicare-certified), long-term care, short-term rehab, respite care, and even adult day services, and there's a therapy program to help people recover after surgery or illness and get back home if possible, and if someone needs dialysis or hospice, they've got that covered, too.
Amenities include a beauty salon, barbershop, laundry, housekeeping, and nursing help, and every resident can access physical, occupational, and speech therapy services, or take advantage of support from the memory support team and skilled nursing staff who watch out for those needs, and since the community also offers independent living garden homes and assisted living apartments, there's a choice for people who want more privacy or who need more help day-to-day, and folks can tour the place with their families before making a move. Hoosier Health & Living is run as a non-profit provider, operated by Jackson County Schneck Memorial Hospital and managed alongside Midwest Christian Villages, Inc. since 2012, with ties to Christian Horizons and the CareDon Resource Hub, plus an online presence with a Facebook page and services linked to Meta platforms like Messenger and Instagram for those who want to stay updated or keep in touch with families.
Now, the facility does have some areas that need work: the latest inspection report lists 15 deficiencies, including issues with infection control, safe respiratory care, and resident rights like managing medications, and inspectors also found some problems with maintenance and cleanliness in the nursing home areas, and the nurse turnover rate is 42.7% with an average of 3.13 nurse hours per resident per day, so that's something worth knowing if staffing consistency is important for your needs. Hoosier Health & Living welcomes people living with disabilities and those who need special care, and the facility has maintained more than 10 garden homes for seniors who want to live a bit more independently but still have access to help if something comes up. The place also offers daily activities, opportunities for short-term rehab, and a focus on supporting families as part of their approach, as shown by their "family first senior living communities" badge. The "Hoosier Health & Living" logo is used throughout, and overall, the community tries to cover a big range of care types and services for older adults in and around Brownstown.
