Vancrest Assisted & Independent
Located at 310 Elida Road in Delphos, Allen County, Vancrest Assisted & Independent offers an impressive variety of care options for a community of its size. Under the leadership of Administrator Mick Murphy and the broader Vancrest network, this 56-bed facility provides assisted living, skilled nursing, home care, hospice, palliative care, and respite care. Their home health services even extend to those living outside the community, which is a thoughtful touch.
Currently, 51 of the 56 beds are occupied, reflecting a 92% occupancy rate with an average resident stay of 70 days. One detail I find particularly practical is the location’s Walk Score of 77; it’s quite rare for a facility in a smaller Ohio city to be this accessible, meaning you can actually run routine errands on foot.
On the care side, residents receive an average of 3 hours and 40 minutes of nursing care per day, with registered nurses providing 21 minutes of that time. The Therapy Solutions program is robust, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy in a range of settings, including inpatient rehab and outpatient care. It’s also good to see an Active Resident Council in place, providing a structured way for residents to have a voice in their own care and community policies is essential.
The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re looking at options in Allen County, Vancrest stands out for its flexibility. It manages to pack a full range of services from assisted living and skilled nursing to hospice and palliative care into a manageable, 56-bed footprint.
