DO NOT recommend. My uncle came for rehab after hip surgery & a stroke. The first week he was in a wonderful wing - constant help, great attention. They then moved him to a wing with long term care patients even though he was there for rehab. They constantly asked him if he was on medicaid - NO, he was going home. They overmedicated him then refused to let him into physical therapy because he was dizzy. When he went to see his his surgeon, the DR took one look at the meds and said the combo was a recipe for dizziness. He called and raised a fuss, then they let him back into physical therapy. They complained he would go to their fun social things - he wanted to GO HOME not make lifelong friends. Some of the nurses were great, but overall it felt very much like they wanted his money and were doing what they could to keep him them permanently.
Great choice for rehab. Rehabilitation team that really gives good care from the Therapists, CNA's, Nurses, Social Worker, and on down! They truly care.
This facility went above and beyond throughout my stay with them. You can tell the staff care about the patients. Therapy got me stronger and feeling more independent. I was not nervous for my discharge at all. And Before I even left I had calls from my Dr. and Pharmacist. They had everything set up for me. I now have home health care as well. If I need rehab services again I will go back to The Waters of Wakarusa.
Gorgeous rural skilled nursing facility located in the heart of Wakarusa, Indiana. Heart warming amenities with beautiful private therapy suites. The best therapy department in the area! I highly recommend The Waters of Wakarusa.
I had a loved one there. The CNAS and nurses were amazing despite being constantly understaffed. One aide to a unit is hardly fair. Though according to the administrator Robin Shull one aide to a unit was more than enough. I constantly heard the residents complaining about the lack of care. Call lights going off forever because it’s impossible for the aides to be in 5 places at once. Food comes cold from the dining hall. Briefs and supplies always run out. Staff is always stressed. Patients do not receive the care they need or pay for. I feel this facility and administrator aren’t here for the residents. But for the money. And the residents are suffering.
