Tipton Place
Tipton Place is a 47-bed licensed assisted living and memory care community at 460 Forks of the Wabash Way in Huntington, Indiana. Managed by Tipton Aid Opco LLC and led by administrator Melissa Quinn, the facility serves Huntington County with a specific focus on specialized dementia support and short-term respite services. The campus is designed to provide a small-scale, neighborhood feel for seniors requiring daily medical oversight.
This community functions under Indiana’s residential licensure framework (410 IAC 16.2-5), which emphasizes balancing personal independence with 24-hour professional staffing. Although state-regulated facilities are not part of the federal CMS star rating system, current 2026 data indicate the campus maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent standard licensure reviews. Current occupancy is approximately 49%, providing a lower-density environment for its 23 residents. Financial flexibility is supported through the Indiana Medicaid Aged and Disabled (A&D) Waiver and the CHOICE Program.
Nursing professionals and care assistants are stationed on-site 24/7 to manage diabetic monitoring, medication protocols, and physical assistance. The medical model utilizes ancillary partnerships to provide on-site physical and occupational therapy, as well as podiatry services, to reduce the need for off-site travel. Within the memory care wing, staff implement structured routines and cognitive engagement strategies specifically developed for those navigating Alzheimer’s or related dementias. Regular wellness checks and coordination with personal physicians are standard components of the facility’s care plan.
Residential accommodations include private suites and one-bedroom units featuring kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and integrated emergency response systems. Monthly fees are all-inclusive, covering three chef-prepared meals daily, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Shared social areas include a multipurpose activity room, a fitness center, a library, and a full-service beauty salon. The social calendar is managed by an activities director to provide regular wellness programs and local outings, while a pet-friendly policy allows residents to keep animal companions. For medical visits and local errands, the facility provides a scheduled van service to keep residents integrated with the Huntington community.
People searching for an affordable, Medicaid-eligible environment with a deficiency-free regulatory record and a smaller residential scale may find this setting appropriate. To evaluate the current atmosphere, prospective residents and their representatives should contact the administrator to discuss staffing disclosures and tour the campus to assess 2026 quality standards firsthand.
