Brickyard Healthcare - Muncie Care Center sits over in Muncie, Indiana, and covers about every kind of care a senior might need, so they handle folks who live independently, those who need a little help with daily life, and people needing skilled nursing, which means nurses are around all day and night if someone needs them. The place runs different programs including Active Adult Living, Independent and Assisted Living, Memory Care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, Home Care with both non-medical help and Medicare-Certified visiting nurses, Adult Day Services for people who just need care part of the day, Long-Term Care for folks staying a good while, and Hospice Care for end of life. They've got their own terms for how they run things, and they've focused on making sure people who come here get medical help, personal assistance, and attention to safety.
Muncie Care Center's Skilled Nursing Facility gives care to folks who need nursing home stays, people recovering after a hospital stay, and those who need rehab, whether it's short or long term. There's also a Memory Care section with alarms on the doors, a safe area outside, and staff who know what to do for those with memory loss. The staff have been praised for being committed, and the executive director, Kaushik Patel, leads the place. The center received the 2018 AHCA/NCAL Bronze Quality Award, which means some outside group thought they were doing a good job.
If someone needs physical therapy, stroke care, diabetic help, dialysis, pain management, or help recovering after surgery or illness, they offer those services along with wound care, counseling, and help with medicines and daily tasks. There are medical services from podiatry to dental and eye care, and nurses handle IVs, plus they set up visits from doctors. The staff also covers things like dressing, bathing, grooming, mobility help, and toileting, and there are personalized care assistants to help residents with everything.
They've got amenities like private suites, kitchens and kitchenettes, cable TV, internet, guest parking, housecleaning, laundry, and help with linens, so a person can keep their space tidy. The plumbing and sprinkler systems and handicap features help keep everyone safe. Folks can enjoy the dining room, snack options, a fitness center, beauty shop, and family lounges. There are all kinds of activities, church services, transportation, walking and wheelchair help, educational programs, and social events, including arts and crafts and wellness programs, so there's always something to do if a person wants it.
The center accepts long term care insurance and VA contract patients, and the focus always seems to land on finding the right kind of care for each person living there, whatever the need might be. They do short and long-term stays along with outpatient therapy, and every care type is available right at the facility.
