Hickory Creek at Peru

Hickory Creek at Peru sits in a comfortable and welcoming health care center in Peru with room for up to 36 residents, offering both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing. American Senior Communities LLC manages the facility for a for-profit corporation, and it's affiliated with Hickory Creek Healthcare Foundation, so folks who visit usually notice the staff's dedication right away, since they have experience and they care about senior care. Nurses, healthcare aides, and an interdisciplinary team look after everyone, working with physical, occupational, and speech therapy when needed, always focusing on the residents' independence and quality of life. There's a nurse turnover rate of 48.1%, and the staff provides, on average, 3.21 nursing hours per resident each day, with experts always nearby. The health department has found some infection-related deficiencies in their reports, so you might want to look into inspection details if you're thinking about staying there. Services stretch across Indiana, but here, you'll find programs to help people get back strength and abilities after strokes, heart troubles, or surgery, through the Road to Recovery program, which brings together staff, doctors, family, and residents to plan goals within the first three days. They help with wound care, fall prevention, mobility, contracture management, wheelchair use, strength-building, and aerobic conditioning, all meant to keep folks mobile and improve daily life. Long-term care stays happen under the watch of the resident's physician, and short-term respite is there too, so caregivers can rest or recover after illnesses. Hospice and palliative care bring comfort and support during serious illness, with help from local hospice companies, nurses, aides, social workers, and volunteers. Payment options like Medicaid are available, and Medicaid specialists can help too. The building is described as home-like and secure, and while every stay can look a bit different depending on the needs, the goal is always to support the highest possible level of independence for every resident.
