Community Nursing and Rehabilitation at 5600 E 16th St in Indianapolis is a nursing home and rehabilitation center that helps senior residents with different care needs, and some folks stay there long-term while others come for short-term rehab after being in the hospital, so you see a real mix of situations and you'll find that they offer both skilled nursing care and memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and their memory care programs get adjusted to match each person's needs, especially those dealing with memory loss. They've got safety and handicap-friendly features all over the place with sprinkler systems to help keep residents safe, and you'll run into property amenities like a game and activities room, internet and cable TV, a dining room, fitness center, a salon and barbershop, as well as washers and dryers, and some rooms even have their own kitchenettes which is nice for folks who like a bit of independence, and those rooms come in both private and semi-private setups, so people can pick what suits them best, and people often say the rooms are really quite nice.
They offer transportation for residents to help with getting out and about, and for personal care there's help with dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, and general day-to-day things for people who need extra hands, but they also support people who can mostly do things themselves but just need a bit of checking in on. The staff covers wound care, medication support, podiatry, help from registered nurses, occupational therapy, and physical, speech, and language therapies, which makes a big difference for folks trying to bounce back after surgery or illness, like after a stroke or surgery on bones and joints, or dealing with heart or liver problems. There's a Road to Recovery program that helps each resident figure out what they need and make plans for getting better, starting within 72 hours after coming in, so families get answers and know what to expect early on, and that helps with peace of mind.
Housekeeping and maintenance are part of daily life here, and when it comes to meals they serve them right in the dining room, with dining staff that knows how to prepare for different diets and needs. Residents can join in social activities, arts and crafts, educational programs, and exercise or wellness offerings. The place is set up to take care of people needing round-the-clock nursing, some who have serious medical conditions like congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, or who need lots of daily help, and they work with outside hospice providers for people needing end-of-life care or relief for families through respite stays. Staff at Community Nursing and Rehabilitation include nurses, aides, and therapists who know senior care well and take a person-centered approach, so they try to be respectful and attentive, and over time, they can start to feel like an extension of the family instead of just employees. They put a lot of effort into keeping everyone safe and comfortable while offering help with health, personal care, and daily routines, aiming to support people's independence as much as possible as they heal or live with ongoing health needs.
