Overview of Waters of Hartford City Skilled Nursing Facility Waters of Hartford City Skilled Nursing Facility is a skilled nursing and nursing home community in Hartford City, IN, offering respite care for short stays. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care around the clock, while respite care can support a family whose usual caregiver needs time to travel, recover, or manage other responsibilities.
The community has 65 beds and provides short-term rehabilitation for residents recovering from an illness, injury, or hospital stay. Rehabilitation services can support a resident working toward greater function before returning home or moving to a longer-term care arrangement, while long-term nursing care supports residents who need ongoing clinical assistance.
Clinical programs include comprehensive wound care, respiratory services, IV services, nutritional services, in-house diagnostics, and pain management, allowing these services to be part of the care available at the community. Total nurse staffing is 3h 9m per resident/day, representing the daily nurse staffing time allocated per resident.
Residents can use a secure patio when accompanied by staff, providing an outdoor area within the community. A salon and barber shop, along with onsite podiatry, dental, and audiology services, give residents access to grooming and specialty services at the facility. Dining includes menus designed under the direction of a registered dietitian, with mealtime assistance available according to resident need.
Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicaid can support families using that program for eligible long-term care, Medicare applies to covered skilled care such as short-term care after a qualifying hospital stay, and private pay means paying directly for services.
Max Richardson serves as the administrator, and Johnson Memorial Hospital operates the community. The combination of skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and respite care can suit a resident needing ongoing nursing support or a family caregiver seeking a short-term care arrangement.
