Operated by Kingston Healthcare, the facility serves Allen County with a service model that includes independent living, assisted living, and memory care supported by 24-hour healthcare professionals.

The community operates under a state-licensed residential model, prioritizing personalized care plans that balance independence with physical and cognitive support. While state-licensed facilities do not receive 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 76%, reflecting a consistent growth trend since 2023, and the community accepts the Indiana Medicaid PathWays for Aging Waiver (formerly A&D).

Nursing and certified staff are available 24/7 to manage medication administration, assist with activities of daily living, and coordinate chronic condition management.

Overview of Life Care Center of Fort Wayne

Life Care Center of Fort Wayne is a 115-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are welcome. Operated by Fort Wayne Operations LLC on Spy Run Avenue in Allen County, the facility has skilled nursing, Alzheimer’s and dementia memory care, rehabilitation, and respite stays with 24-hour staffing.

The 5-star CMS overall rating is anchored by a health inspection sub-rating 83.2 percent above Indiana’s average, the most favorable health inspection score in this review, alongside staffing and quality measures running above state benchmark. Over four years on file, the facility averaged 9.8 deficiencies annually against Indiana’s 4.2 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions, and every complaint investigation returning unsubstantiated. The deficiency record divides cleanly: three minor clinical findings across four annual surveys, an oxygen flow rate set one liter above the physician’s order, a missing vision care plan for a blind resident, and an unsanitary unit refrigerator, alongside recurring life safety surveys that have consistently identified fire system documentation and maintenance gaps. Life safety deficiencies have appeared in every annual life safety survey in the window, with 4, 12, and 8 deficiencies respectively in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all corrected on revisit. No resident care or harm findings of substance exist. Occupancy at 73 percent runs above Indiana’s 68.1 percent average and has trended upward since 2022.

Amenities contain a fine dining program, Community Re-Entry Program, landscaped grounds and courtyards, and a beauty salon and barber shop.

Overview of Kingston Care Center of Fort Wayne

Kingston Care Center of Fort Wayne is a 137-bed, privately owned skilled nursing and memory care community at 1010 W. Washington Center Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The facility serves Allen County residents across a continuum of care, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation, with 24-hour nursing coverage and respite care. It is operated by Kingston Care Center of Fort Wayne, LLC.

Over four years of inspection data, Kingston has recorded 10.3 deficiencies per year — roughly 145% above Indiana’s average of 4.2. An immediate jeopardy finding in February 2023 involved a morphine overdose that caused respiratory distress and required emergent treatment. A separate substantiated verbal abuse complaint from May 2023 led to the staff member’s separation. No fines or license actions appear in the available reports. The most recent standard inspection, completed in June 2025, found the facility fully in compliance with no deficiencies cited — a meaningful shift from prior years.

CMS rates the facility 3 stars overall, in line with the Indiana average. Its below-average Health Inspection rating reflects the deficiency history above. Staffing is 17.6% above the state average, with nurse staffing averaging 3 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day — a figure that supports the facility’s rehabilitation and post-acute caseload, which includes physical therapy hours that are more than double the state benchmark.

Quality Measures performs 23.5% above the Indiana average, and the short-stay rehospitalization rate of 19.6% is 13% lower than the state figure. The facility’s occupancy rate is 75%, exceeding Indiana’s average of 68.1%.

Kingston Care Center fits residents pursuing short-term post-acute rehabilitation or needing a structured memory care setting, with a payer mix and staffing model oriented toward Medicare and Medicaid residents in Fort Wayne’s Allen County. However, families should review the facility’s prior medication-related Immediate Jeopardy finding with its more recent compliance improvements.

Overview of The Waters of Fort Wayne Skilled Nursing Facility

The Waters of Fort Wayne Skilled Nursing Facility is a 77-bed county-operated skilled nursing and rehabilitation community at 5544 E State Blvd in Fort Wayne, Indiana, providing short-term and long-term care, memory care, and respite services under the Memory Springs and In Motion programs. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay, with the resident census predominantly Medicaid.

CMS rates the facility at 3 stars overall. Since 2022, the facility has accumulated 34 deficiencies across 26 inspections — roughly 8.5 per year, more than double Indiana’s state average of 4.2. Substantiated complaints include a 2024 verbal abuse finding that led to two staff terminations, a 2023 citation for inadequate dementia care interventions, and recurring fall prevention deficiencies. A September 2024 life safety survey identified 15 deficiencies across emergency preparedness, fire suppression, and physical plant compliance; a follow-up visit found the facility in substantial compliance. No fines or license actions appear in the available record.

Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 7 minutes per resident per day, placing the facility 185th out of 287 Indiana SNFs — below both the state and national benchmarks. The facility’s occupancy rate is 48%, well below Indiana’s average of 68.1%, indicating current availability across bed types.

The Waters of Fort Wayne is best suited for residents in Allen County who require county-funded long-term care or post-acute rehabilitation, with dedicated programming for memory care and wound and respiratory management through its named clinical tracks. However, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection history, staffing levels, and prior abuse-related findings before making a placement decision.

Overview of Majestic Care of West Allen

Majestic Care of West Allen is a 96-bed skilled nursing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, providing long-term care, short-term post-acute rehabilitation, memory care, and respite services. It is owned by Rosemarie Rafalski and certified for Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 3-star overall CMS rating. Its inspection record is a significant concern: the facility averages 13 deficiencies per year — roughly three times the Indiana average of 4.2. Substantiated complaints over the past three years have included verbal abuse of residents, unsecured medication carts, medication administration failures, and dementia care deficiencies.

Life Safety Code violations have recurred in every annual survey cycle from 2022 through 2025, with no clear trend of improvement. No fines or license actions appear in the available reports. Quality Measures and Health Inspection sub-ratings both exceed the Indiana average. Nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 50 minutes per resident per day, 61% below the state benchmark — placing the facility 240th out of 287 Indiana SNFs.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 83%, well above Indiana’s average of 68%, indicating consistent demand. Memory care is available, though a 2023 complaint investigation found dementia care interventions were not consistently implemented at that time.

While Majestic Care of West Allen may suit residents needing short-term post-acute rehabilitation or Medicaid-supported skilled nursing care in southwest Fort Wayne, its lower staffing levels and recurring inspection findings warrant careful review before making a placement decision.
