Five Star Residences of Fort Wayne sits in Southwest Fort Wayne, close to hospitals, shopping, and restaurants, with a grand entrance, white columns, and nice landscaping out front, and once inside you'll find a community designed for comfort and support, with lots of apartment layouts-there are garden homes, duplexes, and one or two-bedroom apartments, and some have sunrooms, dens, porches, garages, spacious kitchens, walk-in closets, and even room for pets. This place has month-to-month leases, no big entry fee, and offers both private and furnished rooms, along with full kitchens or kitchenettes in independent living units, and some homes have labeled floor plans with all the measurements laid out, so folks know what they're getting.
There's a lot happening here with indoor and outdoor heated pools, wide pathways, a walking trail, a gazebo by a pond, and several gardens for people who enjoy being outdoors, plus the community lets residents tend to garden beds, sit on patios, and join in picnics or group walks, and when it's time to come inside, there's a cozy club room for Wii Bowling, happy hours, or just sitting with neighbors. The movie theater even has plush seats and old film posters, so movie nights feel special, and communal areas like the dining room or private dining make meal times easy with chef-prepared food or the MyChoice Dining Program, where people can pick what fits their needs and taste, and folks can get food brought right to their rooms too.
For people wanting to stay social, there are group trips, game nights, arts and crafts, exercise classes, clubs, and religious services in the chapel, plus a computer workstation and a library for quiet time, and the activity studio hosts many events from fitness to crafts, making every part of the week busy if someone wants it, but there's quiet lounges and plenty of spots just to relax with friends too. Residents can use the on-site barber and beauty salon, and community staff run all the housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance, so daily chores don't pile up.
Support covers a wide range-independent living, assisted living, respite care for short stays, skilled nursing, and dedicated memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, so each person can find the right mix of help with things like personal hygiene, dressing, or medication reminders, and the clinical team includes staff nurses, a visiting doctor, dentist, therapists, and there's always assistance available 24 hours if residents need anything, plus an emergency response system for peace of mind.
