Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (62% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 21 days.
The 100-bed campus at Addison Pointe Health & Rehabilitation Center provides skilled care at 780 Dickinson Road in Chesterton, Indiana. Owned by Steven Dobben and managed by administrator Carol Whitehead alongside Riverview Hospital, the building operates at an 88 percent occupancy rate and accepts Medicare and private pay. Stays here average 111 days, which aligns with the facility’s design as a destination for short-term post-acute recovery and medical rehabilitation.
The nursing staff provides about 3 hours and 9 minutes of direct care to each resident every day. Most of that hands-on help comes from nurse aides, who cover 2 hours and 8 minutes, while registered nurses pitch in for 42 minutes, and licensed practical nurses handle the remaining 47 minutes. Together, they take care of physical rehab therapy, pass out daily medications, and help out with everyday tasks like bathing and dressing. Visitors have it pretty easy when they come to see family, since the neighborhood scores a 73 for walkability and lets you wrap up most quick errands on foot.
Inside, the building has fully furnished suites, a bistro, a library, a salon, and an outdoor courtyard. On the regulatory side, past state inspections focused mostly on building codes and emergency plans, and the team fixed those issues to keep the facility in compliance.
Families can call the front desk to see which rooms are open, ask how the physical rehab therapy is set up, or come take a look around. The business office can also explain how the insurance coverage works and help you get started on the intake paperwork.
Addison Pointe Health & Rehabilitation Center is legally operated by Riverview Hospital, and administered by Carol Whitehead.
