The Towne House Retirement Community sits in Fort Wayne and has been around since 1965, and people there often say it feels like a big family because everyone gets personal attention and there's a strong sense of community, and when you visit you'll find cozy gathering spaces and walking paths lined with lush gardens and mature trees, so there's always a pleasant place to sit or take a stroll. Residents live in several types of homes, like upscale apartments between 940 and 1,570 square feet that come with washer and dryer, plenty of big windows, upgraded kitchens and baths, and are pet-friendly, or they can choose to live in Chapman's Crossing villas, which are single-level, have high ceilings, big patios, and two-car garages, all nestled in a quiet, wooded spot that feels private but still connected. There's also Prairie Landing, which offers duplexes and single-family homes with large sunrooms and heated driveways on a 60-acre landscape, and all these homes let people add personal touches if they want.
The Towne House is a Life Plan Community, which means it helps people move smoothly between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing if their needs change, all on the same campus, and since they handle everything like lawn care, snow removal, and maintenance, residents don't have to worry about chores. Inside, apartments for independent living have open kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, comfortable bedrooms with lots of natural light and neutral colors, and climate control for comfort.
The community has a woodworking shop, fitness center with weight machines and a ping pong table, well-stocked library, shuffleboard courts, wheelchair access, a peaceful chapel, and even a salon for hair care, plus a veranda and outdoor paths for relaxation. There's a full calendar of social activities, fitness classes, lifelong learning, and special life enrichment programs, so folks stay active and connected, and the common areas are spacious and bright for relaxing or visiting with neighbors. The dining rooms look nice and homey with white tablecloths, colorful napkins, rustic chandeliers, and a stone fireplace where meals are served, and the staff provides support from housekeeping and dining to helping with daily activities in assisted living or memory care, including specialized spaces like a memory care salon and a chapel with wooden pews and stained glass.
The Towne House also has adult day care, home health services, and onsite service coordinators, with controlled access for safety and support for moving or downsizing. Every detail, from the stone fireplaces to the large patios and tranquil gardens, aims to offer comfort and help residents feel at home, and because it's a non-profit continuing care retirement community, there's a steady focus on enhancing quality of life and meeting each resident's needs, whether that involves health and rehab, spiritual support, or just a sunny spot to read a book.
