Hickory Creek at Winamac

Hickory Creek at Winamac is a senior living community in Winamac, Indiana offering short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, respite care, and hospice care services.

Short-term rehabilitation is designed for those recovering from stroke, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery and other debilitating conditions, with the goal of helping participants return home safely following hospitalization. The program includes physical, occupational and speech/language therapies provided by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers. The Road to Recovery program offers an opportunity for the care team, patient and family to meet within the first 72 hours after admission to map out discharge goals and identify what motivates the individual.

Long-term care is available for those who struggle with daily tasks and can no longer be cared for at home due to illness, injury, frailty or other limitations. Licensed nurses, specially-trained health care aides and an interdisciplinary care team provide services under the guidance of an attending physician. Long-term care includes social services, activities, physical, occupational and speech therapies to help residents maintain independence. The community accepts private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants, with Medicaid specialists available to assist with the application process.

Respite care provides short-term stays for elderly individuals, allowing family caregivers time to travel, start new employment, recover from illness, or pursue other interests. The community carefully examines respite guests' needs to provide appropriate care and comfort.

Hospice and palliative care services focus on comfort, pain relief, and supporting patients and families facing terminal illness. The community partners with local hospice companies to provide skilled nursing care, respite care, spiritual and bereavement counseling, medical equipment and supplies, social services, and pharmacy services.
