Overview of Silver Birch at Cook Road

Facebook LinkedIn

Silver Birch at Cook Road is an assisted living community at 3731 West Cook Road on the west side of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Operating for seven years, the three-story, 125-bed community currently serves around 81 residents. It’s operated by Cook Road Aal Lp under John Pea’s administration.

The car-dependent neighborhood has a Walk Score of 12, meaning most daily errands and appointments require driving. This setting is typical of suburban Fort Wayne and may attract residents and families wanting a calmer, residential feel away from the city’s busier central areas. At the current occupancy of 65 percent, the home has availability and can discuss placement with prospective residents and their families.

State inspections have centered on pest control and environmental management, with occasional findings about communication and documentation practices. The facility has attended to these matters, and recent inspection cycles show sustained compliance with state standards.

A grounded next step to see the space firsthand, learn about daily activities and dining options, and discuss any care support or services that may be vital to a loved one’s needs is for families considering this community to tour in person.
