Elkhart Oaks Care Center

Elkhart Oaks Care Center sits at 214 Jones Rd and offers a lot for folks who need extra help as they get older, kind of like a cross between a nursing home and a rehab center where you can find private rooms, a cafeteria with menu plans from a registered dietitian, and plenty of scheduled activities each day and week if you want to join in, though you can also just spend quiet time if that's more your style. The staff includes caring, licensed nurses who are always around, day or night, so help's never far off, and you can get all sorts of therapies like physical, occupational, and speech-whether you're bouncing back from surgery or working through changes that come with things like dementia or long-term illnesses. If you or a loved one needs memory care, they've got secured units for folks dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementia issues, so families know their relatives are safe, and they've even got a special Rehab To Home program and outpatient rehab for those aiming to get back to regular life after a hospital stay. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay, so that covers a lot of different needs, and they even handle wound care, palliative hospice, respite stays, and all the housekeeping stuff, too. Nutrition gets good attention here, and everything's laid out to give residents custom care that matches what they really need, and there are tailored care plans for each person. The place's regular hours run 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday, and folks have mentioned the staff's professional touch in the reviews, which hover around a solid rating of 3.7 out of 3 total reviews, and on top of that, they've managed to clear their annual state survey with zero deficiencies, which isn't something you see everywhere. The building has dedicated healthcare areas, secure surroundings, and a real focus on helping people feel both comfortable and safe, whether somebody's there just for short-term rehab or has made it their home for the long haul. Anything from medication reminders to help with dressing and bathing is part of the deal, and if your family worries about activity and connection, the center brings in recreational therapy and regular group events so everyone has the chance to participate at their own level.
