Overview of Kingston Residence of Fort Wayne

Kingston Residences of Fort Wayne, in Fort Wayne, IN, provides nursing home care, skilled nursing, respite care, memory care, and assisted living. A resident needing help with taking their medication, bathing, and getting dressed gets it with assisted living and keeps a private space. Memory care is set up around a wandering risk, with the setting secured and supervision in place.

When a resident’s condition calls for ongoing nursing, the nursing home and skilled nursing levels keep licensed nurses on-site day and night, with 24-Hour Staffing behind it. A caregiver’s trip or convalescence is the kind of occasion that calls for respite care, which is short by design. Care also continues inside one community as needs grow.

Amanda Craig is administrator of the 72-bed community. Rehabilitation services support recovery, Short-Term Stays cover a temporary need, and Culinary Experiences centers activity on food. A resident with a pet may keep it when they move in, since pets are allowed.
