Kingston at Dupont is a 45-bed licensed memory care community at 1716 E Dupont Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Managed by Kingston HealthCare and administered by Executive Director Dorian Shoemaker, the facility specializes in supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other forms of cognitive decline within a secured, residential setting.
The community operates under a state-licensed residential model, providing 24-hour healthcare oversight and localized coordination for seniors requiring specialized memory support. While the facility does not participate in federal CMS star ratings, current 2026 filings show that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent standard health and safety surveys. Occupancy is approximately 64%, reflecting a close-knit environment that focuses on personalized “GEMS” programming to match resident cognitive states. For eligible residents, the community accepts the Indiana Medicaid PathWays for Aging Waiver (formerly A&D).
Support is provided 24/7 by a team of nurses and care partners trained in dementia-specific protocols to manage medication administration, wellness monitoring, and daily assistance. The clinical team coordinates specialized life enrichment programming including music therapy, baking, and pet therapy to promote cognitive engagement and emotional well-being. To facilitate physical health, the facility provides homemade, dietitian-approved culinary experiences and on-site health assessments, with staff available to coordinate with residents’ personal physicians and specialists.
The facility features a home-like design with secure indoor and outdoor common areas, including a resident living room, activity kitchen, and game room. Residents live in private and semi-private suites equipped with 24-hour emergency call systems and safety-focused bathrooms. All-inclusive monthly services cover three nutritious meals daily, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry. Daily life is supported by diverse shared spaces such as a beauty shop, a library, and a secured outdoor courtyard with walking paths. The social calendar includes daily fitness groups, spiritual services, and seasonal family parties, while scheduled transportation is provided for local medical appointments and community outings throughout Allen County.
Those seeking a specialized, small-scale memory care environment with 24-hour clinical support and a strong compliance record may find this setting appropriate. Interested parties should contact the administrator directly to discuss current staffing disclosures and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance and residential neighborhoods firsthand.
