Serenity Spring Senior Living at Northwood in Jasper, Indiana, offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, skilled nursing, hospice care, and palliative care. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Hospice care supports end of life needs, while palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom relief. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level of care may be possible without leaving the community. Rehabilitation services provide therapy aimed at restoring or maintaining function, which can support a resident working to regain abilities or preserve current ones.
The community has 155 beds. Residents are therefore part of a larger setting with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 47 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident.
Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted. Medicaid can help cover a long stay when personal savings may not be enough, Medicare can apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, and private pay allows direct payment. A Walk Score of 61 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to complete certain nearby errands independently. Michael Meadows serves as administrator, and Greene County General Hospital operates the community. This may be a good fit for someone who wants access to several care levels, including memory care, nursing, rehabilitation, hospice, or palliative support, within one community.
