Heritage Pointe of Fort Wayne sits in a peaceful area where seniors can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation, so people find care that fits their needs at every stage, and the campus has cozy single-story buildings, some with scenic views of four lakes and walking paths, and there's a strong sense of safety with a 24-hour emergency response system. Residents benefit from the pet-friendly policy if they want to keep a pet, and they get maintenance-free living, with snow removal, lawn care, appliance repair, building insurance, expanded basic cable, internet, and most utilities already covered, so folks can spend time outdoors or in recreation rooms, not worrying about upkeep or yardwork. The independent living villas offer several choices for floor plans, which seem both private and customizable, while staff can help out with daily activities in the assisted living area, with personal care available when needed, and healthy, chef-prepared meals served every day to meet different health needs, along with a bistro for snacks or coffee.
People needing more support can stay in the skilled nursing or rehabilitation area, where round-the-clock care is available, so anyone recovering from illness or surgery can get rehabilitation services before heading home, and there's also an intermediate care section for residents who need ongoing medical attention. The Memory Care community seems designed for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, including a secure environment and staff trained in dementia care, offering structured routines that help people stay comfortable, with activities designed for mental engagement, and special support for families.
The facility hosts many events and activities, including live music, Bingo, crafts, and outings, so residents stay active and have chances for socialization or just to enjoy community-hosted programs, talent showcases, or even simple manicures, while volunteers often help with events. There are places to gather, such as a beauty/barber shop, fitness center, art gallery, library, and game room for billiards-all easy to reach in the main building, which also has free WiFi. Scheduled transportation helps residents get to appointments or other places in town, which is useful for those who don't drive anymore.
Heritage Pointe of Fort Wayne is under United Methodist Memorial Home, sometimes called UMMH, and it's one of several Heritage Pointe communities, each with its own feel but a similar approach-offering support for privacy, choice, and aging in one place. Staff seem focused on each person's well-being, and there's attention to religious, mental, and physical health, with spiritual support available if wanted. The whole lifestyle seems aimed at comfort, safety, and engagement, while letting residents and families know there's a range of care options that can be adjusted as needs change, so people do not have to move as their lives shift. The community can hold about 75 residents, so it's a mid-sized place where people can get to know each other and the staff.
Overall, Heritage Pointe of Fort Wayne gives seniors and families a mix of living options, activities, amenities, and care services, making daily life a little easier and giving folks the comfort of knowing support's available down the hall, whether it's for daily tasks, medical needs, or just enjoying a good meal with friends.
