The Waters of Dunkirk Skilled Nursing Facility is a nursing home in Dunkirk, Indiana, offering skilled nursing, hospice care, and palliative care. Nursing home care provides residential support with daily needs, while skilled nursing means licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock.
Hospice care focuses on comfort and support near the end of life. Palliative care addresses symptoms and comfort for people living with serious illness, whether or not they are receiving end of life care.
Comprehensive wound care supports residents who need treatment for wounds, and respiratory services address respiratory care needs. Rehabilitation services are available for residents working to restore or maintain physical function.
The community may be a good fit for someone who needs skilled nursing alongside wound care, respiratory services, rehabilitation, or comfort focused care. These services allow the home to support residents with several different care needs in one setting.
The home has 46 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 2 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time available for each resident.
Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicaid may help when personal savings do not cover a long stay, while Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and private pay uses personal funds.
Tyisha Wheeler serves as the administrator, and Johnson Memorial Hospital operates the community. The home is located in Dunkirk, Indiana.
