Hickory Creek at Winamac

Hickory Creek at Winamac has been serving the local community since 1971, offering a caring place for people who need help with health and daily tasks, and this place sits in a comfortable, welcoming healthcare center with a staff who treat residents like family and follow a calling to care for seniors rather than just doing a job, which you can really tell from the way they help with everything from bathing and dressing to medical and emotional support. The facility's staffed by clinicians, skilled nurses, therapists, social workers, and other professionals who make sure residents' health is supervised and personalized, especially for people with more complex health needs or high acuity care, including incontinence care and nursing care for those who need it daily. People who stay here can get help with short-term recovery through specialized rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, and speech therapies along with programs such as the Road to Recovery, which gets residents started with a care plan in the first 72 hours, working together with doctors and staff to set goals for discharge and help regain independence after a stroke, surgery, or illness, using mobility training, fall prevention, wheelchair positioning, contracture management, wound care, and regular wellness activities to build strength and improve skills. Hickory Creek at Winamac offers long-term care for people who need more support to manage life's basics because of illness, injury, frailty, or other limitations, all in a setting that feels home-like, cheerful, soothing, and secure, and they also promote a good mix of activities, social opportunities, and therapies to help folks stay as active and healthy as possible, with nursing supervision and personal attention every day. There's a full schedule of social, educational, and entertainment activities, helping residents make friends and enjoy so much more than just their rooms, and those who need short-term breaks-respite care-can also stay here, getting medical support and a safe, comfortable space so caregivers can recharge, plus families can get help from Medicaid specialists if needed. The facility partners with local hospice companies to offer hospice and palliative care for residents who need comfort and support near the end of life, giving pain relief, emotional help, spiritual care, and grief support all as part of a team effort. Hickory Creek at Winamac belongs to the Hickory Creek Healthcare community and aims to create a place that supports senior health, well-being, and independence while helping people and families every step of the way.
