Yellow Retirement Communities

Yellow Retirement Communities sits at 1214 W. Main Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and operates under J-J Parent Corp., covering several towns around Northeast Indiana like Auburn, Kendallville, Ossian, and nearby places, and as a family-owned community, it focuses on different types of care for aging people so folks can find help with independent living, assisted living, and long-term nursing services, and they have staff to help with things like medication management, non-ambulatory care, 24-hour supervision, and a 24-hour call system. Residents can get help with showering, dressing, and grooming from personal care assistants, plus they can have walking or wheelchair help if they need it, which means a lot of folks are able to stay more independent and comfortable longer. Community services cover things like move-in coordination, communal dining with allergy-sensitive and diabetic diet choices, activities and education programs, fitness and wellness groups, and even arts and crafts or movie nights, so there's always something happening that helps people feel connected. Amenities include furnished rooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, laundry and dry-cleaning, housekeeping, safety features like sprinkler systems and handicap accessibility, and emergency alert systems, which keeps the place feeling both homey and safe. Residents can spend time in the fitness center, arts room, game or activity rooms, beauty salon or barbershop, and even drop by the library or the gift shop, so there's a range of ways to spend the day. There's also cable TV, wifi, washers and dryers in the building, guest parking, and community-sponsored events for socializing. They have transportation services for shopping or appointments, and offer options to help people delay or avoid a move into full nursing care, thanks to a range of independent living and personal care programs. Residents and their families can use a tenant portal through AppFolio to manage daily needs or ask for support, and the main focus stays on fitting the services and environment to what elderly people need as they grow older, keeping satisfaction and safety at the center of daily life.
