Towne House Retirement Community is a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community (CCRC) located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Operated by BHI Senior Living, the community offers a full spectrum of living arrangements and care services, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation. As a certified provider participating in Medicare since 1992, Towne House supports both short- and long-term stays, and features twelve current nursing home residents. Residents have access to a progression of care, allowing individuals to transition smoothly between care levels according to their evolving health needs.
The facility provides a range of medical and wellness services, including 24-hour nursing staff, occupational therapy, speech therapy, ambulatory care, diabetes management, incontinence care, and memory care support. Rehabilitation services are available, though families have reported mixed experiences, especially concerning memory care and personalized support. The community also maintains wellness programs, hosts resident and family counseling sessions, and offers in-house clubs and social activities for engagement. Amenities are bolstered by ongoing campus enhancements and residents can participate in both independent and group activities aimed at promoting social connection and wellbeing.
Review summaries indicate that while many families and residents are pleased with the compassionate staff and the sense of community—highlighting the work of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) in particular—there are reported areas of concern. Some families have raised issues about inadequate supervision and safety for residents with advanced cognitive needs, such as those living with dementia, as well as inconsistent medication management and unmet rehabilitation needs. Families are encouraged to carefully evaluate the fit between their loved ones’ needs and the community’s resources, particularly for those requiring specialized support or enhanced supervision.
Costs at this community start at $2,275 and range up to $8,030. The average price in the community is $5,152, which is more than the average price in the area of $5,127. The cost of nursing homes in this area is essentially the same as the cost throughout the state. If the resident needs other services, additional services may increase the monthly cost.
