Heritage Center operates in Evansville, IN, and is a continuing care retirement community. Under that heading come independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, home care, and hospice care.
Independent living leaves the daily care alone, which keeps the day in the resident’s hands. Assisted living picks up dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care runs secured, with supervision included, against a wandering risk.
Respite care runs on a caregiver’s calendar, for a trip or a recovery. Home care goes to the person’s own residence instead of bringing them onto the campus. Hospice care attends to comfort where an illness has become life-limiting, and the aim there stops being recovery.
That breadth is the meaning of the continuing care designation, so a change in need is handled as a change of level. The housing features studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences, with over 172 beds. Adam Strickland administers it, and Pulaski Memorial Hospital is the operator.
