Golden LivingCenter - Fountainview Terrace sits at 1900 Andrew Avenue in La Porte, Indiana, where it's been run as a licensed nursing facility since 1972. This skilled nursing community has 176 beds, with 135 residents at last count, and it accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. People know it for providing skilled nursing care, memory care, rehabilitation like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and support for people with dementia or other memory issues, so folks who need help with everyday things or need someone there all the time can get what they need, and the staff know how to help those who might wander or get confused. They take care of people who need long-term care, short-term rehab, or hospice and palliative care, and they also offer respite stays for families needing a short break. Staff provide diabetic meals, daily nutrition management, monitoring, and help with chores and activities of daily living like bathing or getting dressed, and there's always someone on call, day or night, with an emergency alert system and wheelchair features to help people move around safely.
The property has private rooms furnished with their own bathrooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, central air, kitchenettes, plus regular housekeeping and laundry service, and move-in help if needed, so moving in is straightforward. Residents enjoy three daily meals, restaurant-style dining, and special diets like allergy-sensitive and diabetic menus, and tenants often say the cooks prepare fresh, appealing meals. For people interested in activities, there are organized programs every day, a fitness center, walking paths, a garden, a salon/barbershop, movie theater, arts room, music program, spiritual services, and social outings. There's also transportation and parking services, so appointments or outings off-site are possible.
Residents can keep cats and dogs, and pet visitors are allowed, which many families value, and there's also family support and education. Medical and health services on site include vision care, dental, hearing, stroke recovery, heart care, pain management, dialysis, wound care, podiatry, and therapy services-so people with complex or ongoing health needs can have most care right there. People needing help with medications, transfers, or memory support will find those services, and the staff are recognized for being well trained and supportive. Medicare rates the facility with 3 out of 5 stars, which is average, based on quality, staffing, and inspection results, so while not the fanciest place, many families rely on it for safe, steady care in a warm setting.
