North Woods Village at Fort Wayne

North Woods Village at Inverness Lakes has been designed, built and decorated with the optimal blend of form and function. Yes, we offer our residents a warm, welcoming environment that feels like home. But more importantly, our surroundings incorporate meaningful design elements that promote our residents' highest levels of independence and safety. From simple and gentle visual cues such as different colors of paint on the walls to recognize areas, to more specific identifiers such as memory boxes filled with personal mementos outside each resident's private suite, our community is designed to help residents find their way independently and successfully.

Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, North Woods Village at Inverness Lakes offers award-winning Memory Care Assisted Living services to the people of Allen County through its signature "NEW DIRECTIONS"® program.

Offering the perfect blend of resident-centered care, the support and attention of a specially trained staff and the comfort and convenience of a physical environment designed with purpose, "NEW DIRECTIONS"® will provide residents of North Woods Village at Inverness Lakes with the support they need and the independence they deserve.

At North Woods Village at Inverness Lakes, we understand and respect that each resident in our care is an individual; each person is at his or her own place on this journey and therefore, has unique needs.

"NEW DIRECTIONS"® meets these needs, offering a personalized, resident-centered approach to care. A dynamic and fluid program, "NEW DIRECTIONS"® is able to change as our resident's needs change. Each person receives the appropriate level of support he or she needs to live as independently as possible.

Each relationship we have with a resident at North Woods Village at Inverness Lakes begins with his or her life story. Quite simply, we get to know our residents. We talk with families, ask questions and learn about each individual's life. Most importantly, we listen. We learn about the family, the resident's profession, passions, interests. What they loved to do, what inspired them, fulfilled them and made them happy. We carry that information in our heads and in our hearts, and that knowledge shapes everything we do for that resident.

Knowing such personal information, we are able to tailor our engaging programming to each person's individual tastes, interests and abilities. As a result, our residents now participate in favorite hobbies, pastimes and other pursuits that are not only pleasurable, but also provide them with fulfillment, self-confidence and pride.

As an example, if one of our residents loved to cook, we will develop and implement cooking activities. If another individual enjoyed bird watching, we will offer a bird watching activity. Again, these specialized programs will be designed to promote success, emphasizing each individual's strengths and abilities and fostering a sense of accomplishment.

We can have the most forward-thinking, progressive programs in the world, but unless we have the right people to implement those programs, they mean nothing. At North Woods Village at Inverness Lakes, we know that our staff is essential to delivering the care, the quality and the dignity our residents deserve. We have carefully selected only the most appropriate, qualified individuals to deliver that care.

Our team is comprised of nurses (featuring around-the-clock care with a nurse on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week), experienced, professional caregivers and support personnel who have all been trained in memory care.
