Overview of Kingston Residence of Fort Wayne

Kingston Residence of Fort Wayne is a 72-bed licensed assisted living and memory care community at 7515 Winchester Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Operated by Kingston Healthcare, the facility serves Allen County with a service model that includes independent living, assisted living, and memory care supported by 24-hour healthcare professionals.

The community operates under a state-licensed residential model, prioritizing personalized care plans that balance independence with physical and cognitive support. While state-licensed facilities do not receive federal CMS star ratings, current 2026 filings show that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent standard health and safety surveys. Occupancy is approximately 76%, reflecting a consistent growth trend since 2023, and the community accepts the Indiana Medicaid PathWays for Aging Waiver (formerly A&D).

Nursing and certified staff are available 24/7 to manage medication administration, assist with activities of daily living, and coordinate chronic condition management. The clinical team facilitates on-site health assessments and partners with its sister community, Kingston Care Center, for advanced rehabilitation and skilled nursing needs if higher acuity care is required. Memory care services focus on cognitive wellness through specialized daily programming, including puzzle games and social engagement designed to support those with Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

The facility features studio, deluxe studio, and one-bedroom apartments equipped with kitchenettes, large windows for natural light, and 24/7 emergency call systems. All-inclusive monthly services cover homemade meals prepared by on-site chefs, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry. Daily life is supported by diverse shared spaces including a café, bistro, wellness fitness room, and landscaped gardens.

For leisure, the facility provides an activity center for exercise groups and local excursions, as well as on-site spiritual services. The campus provides scheduled transportation for community outings and medical appointments throughout the Fort Wayne area.

Those seeking a culinary-focused community with 24-hour nursing availability and a strong compliance record may find this setting appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current elopement monitoring systems and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance firsthand.
