Frequently Asked Questions

It’s best to start with a physician’s assessment. Depending on the circumstances of your situation, or that of your loved one, you can match needs to the right level of assistance. When help with daily tasks is needed – taking medicines, bathing, dressing, meals, transportation and housekeeping – assisted living can be the answer. Trained professionals provide support while helping preserve an individual’s independence.

At Indian Rock Village, we offer a “continuum” of care. In addition to assisted living, we provide skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. These programs provide round-the-clock care for individuals recovering from illness or injury, or those needing more long-term supervision or support.

Skilled nursing is for those who need greater care while recovering from a hospital stay, or who need longer-term care. Professional, compassionate support is delivered around the clock by licensed professionals, including RNs, LPNs, Certified Nurse Aides and Certified Medication Aides. We also offer custom programs that encourage maximum social interaction and preserve dignity.
