Overview of Silver Birch of Mishawaka

Facebook LinkedIn

Silver Birch of Mishawaka provides assisted living in Mishawaka, Indiana, with help for daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and medication while residents maintain their own apartments. The community has 125 beds, placing it in a middle range without implying a particular level of personal attention. Assisted living may suit someone who needs regular help with daily tasks but does not require a skilled nursing setting.

Medicaid is accepted, giving eligible residents a payment option when personal savings may not cover the full length of a stay. Respite care is available for short term stays, which can suit a family caregiver who needs time to travel, recover, or manage another obligation. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to continue living with a pet.

Residents can use the onsite salon, landscaped grounds with walking paths and raised gardens, and transportation for shopping and scheduled outings. Restaurant style dining provides three meals and snacks daily, while rehabilitation services support therapy without arranging transportation to an outside location. Wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use wheelchairs in moving through the community. Natasha Welch serves as the administrator, and Mishawaka Rcf operates the community.
