Scenic Hills Care Center, located at 311 East First St in Ferdinand, Indiana, is a nursing home facility that takes care of up to 91 residents and has a wide mix of services and supports for older adults, so there's assisted living for those who need a hand with dressing, bathing, or getting around, as well as independent living for active seniors-usually folks 55 or 62 and over-who might still want things like meals, laundry, and housekeeping provided, whether it's folded into rent or as extra fees, and people can tour the buildings, meet the staff, and see how life goes there before making a decision. The place runs as a skilled nursing and rehab center, so seniors coming from hospital stays or those needing more medical help can get round-the-clock supervision, medication help, wheelchair access, and personalized attention from a care team who promise to focus on comfort and health with detailed care plans.
Memory care, including secure support for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, is available, and that means staff work in special areas where safety and individual needs are the top concern, plus there are activities suited to memory support and secured outdoor spaces. Residents can go to a variety of common areas like the arts room, game room, library, and movie theater, there's a fitness center and a gym, and you've got options for relaxing in a spa, a sauna, or getting your hair taken care of in the salon, and in the dining room you'll find daily chef-prepared meals, sometimes tailored for special diets like diabetes or allergies, along with snacks and sometimes meal choices available all day, and folks can eat in private dining rooms too if they want. Rooms come furnished, often with private bathrooms, and the facility has things like Wi-Fi, cable TV, phones, and air conditioning in private areas, so people can be comfortable and connected if that's what they prefer.
Staff run all sorts of daily activities for social, physical, and mental health, like arts and crafts, music programs, scheduled fitness sessions, pet therapy, movie nights, and trips to local appointments, shopping, or religious events, and there are outside spaces such as walking paths, gardens, and yards for fresh air and relaxation. Residents and their families might notice a culture of friendliness among the staff, who've been praised for being joyful and helpful, and the place has picked up recognition with Best of Senior Living Awards for care and support, which sometimes means families and residents had good things to say about life there.
Housekeeping, laundry, and personal hygiene help are available, as are extra supports-like help into and out of the bath, medication management, and special attention to medical needs-and there's a focus on nutritious homemade meals planned by chefs. Seniors who need a break from home care, or whose family caregivers need some time off, can use respite care, and there's also home care support for non-medical needs like companionship and light help around the house. With parking, transportation, and move-in help provided, it's set up to make transitions simpler, and Medicaid and Medicare are accepted for those who need it. The community has nice views, sometimes overlooking water, and offers places like a bistro and wellness rooms for residents to use. Doctors operate the facility, and there's a clinic on site for basic health needs, plus restorative therapy and other medical services focused on each person's health situation.
