About North Capitol Nursing and Rehabilitation

North Capitol Nursing and Rehabilitation is a senior living community located in Indianapolis, Indiana, offering short-term rehabilitation, memory care, long-term care, respite care, hospice care, and advanced pulmonary and ventilator care.

Short-term rehabilitation serves individuals recovering from stroke, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions. The program includes physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies delivered by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers. Services encompass wound care, fall prevention, mobility training, strength-building wellness programs, and aerobic conditioning, with the goal of helping residents return home safely and independently following hospitalization.

The community's memory care program is structured and research-based, utilizing a person-centered, wellness-based model that incorporates stimulating daily activities. The program maintains a secure environment where residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss can experience a sense of belonging and meaning. Long-term care is available for those who struggle with daily tasks and can no longer be cared for at home, provided by licensed nurses, specially-trained health care aides, and an interdisciplinary care team in home-like, cheerful, and secure settings.

Additional services include respite care for family caregivers needing short-term support, and hospice and palliative care featuring pain management, spiritual and emotional support, and an interdisciplinary team approach. Advanced pulmonary care, directed by a pulmonologist, helps patients with respiratory conditions reach their highest practical level of function while reducing re-hospitalization risk. Ventilator care is also available to ensure appropriate oxygen supply.

The community accepts private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants, with Medicaid specialists available to assist families through the application process. Residents participate in activities including holiday parties, entertainment events, and volunteer opportunities in the dining room.

My brother was diagnosed with lung cancer , we knew that he had weeks or maybe even months to live. I'm amending this evaluation of this facility due to the watch actually being found and given to his son, I originally said that it was lost. But his son claimed it.
