Locate a Health Care Center

I want to congratulate all of the employees at Miller’s Merry Manor, the premier nursing homes and rehabilitation Centers, in Mooresville, Indiana (Morgan County) & Garrett, Indiana (DeKalb County).  Recently, both staffs at these Miller’s achieved a feat that is very special, something that many nursing homes may never experience – a deficiency-free annual survey from the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).  We’re proud to work with dedicated employees like these who are passionate about people and enthusiastic about doing their jobs well.  Thank you for serving ‘America’s Greatest Generations’!  Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Patrick Boyle, President / CEO

The Arbor Transitional Care Unit on the campus of Logansport Memorial Hospital is scheduled to re-open in early January, 2009 under the management of Miller’s Merry Manor.  The 21-bed Medicare unit will serve individuals for short-term rehabilitative care following a hospital stay at Logansport Memorial or neighboring hospitals.

“We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Logansport Hospital administration and are grateful for their assistance with this new venture,” stated Patrick Boyle, President and CEO of Miller’s Health Systems. “The unit will be under the direction of Senior Administrator, Jennifer Gappa, R.N., and we look forward to working with the team that has been put together to handle the day-to-day operations.”

Known as the “The Arbor Transitional Care Unit by Miller’s Merry Manor”, the unit will provide a bridge for patients between the hospital and home or extended care, allowing them to continue their therapy and skilled nursing care in a convenient and familiar location. “We believe this is a valuable service to patients in the Logansport community, and we’re pleased that Miller’s will bring their experience in post-acute care and rehabilitation to the space we carefully designed for this purpose,” stated Brian Shockney, CEO of Logansport Memorial Hospital.

For more information about The Arbor Transitional Care Unit by Miller’s Merry Manor, contact Jennifer Gappa, RN, Senior Administrator at 574-722-4006 or by email at:  Logansportadm@millersmerrymanor.com

After a year and a half of construction and extensive remodeling at Miller’s Merry Manor – Tipton, move-in time has arrived.   This week, residents from Autumnwood at Tipton Hospital began moving into their new accommodations at Miller’s Merry Manor, just adjacent to the hospital campus.

Simply calling the changes at Miller’s Merry Manor “new accommodations” hardly begins to describe the modifications throughout the building, which bears little resemblance to its former appearance – both inside and out.  “With the completion of this major project, this campus now ranks as one of the largest in our company,” stated Patrick Boyle, President and CEO of Miller’s Health Systems.  “The hospital administration and community have been outstanding during this transition, and we thank them, along with the residents and their families of both Autumnwood and Miller’s Merry Manor for their support and patience,” stated Boyle.

Upon arriving at Miller’s Merry Manor, the differences in the building are immediately apparent with a new front entrance, roof design, and other architectural enhancements, along with a view of the second-story addition.  Through the front doors, visitors are welcomed by a grand hall and inviting lobby, with administrative offices around the perimeter.  Indirect lighting and greenery emerging from the open wall design are an integral part of the airy appeal of the entry view.  From here, visitors can easily access the newly designed Private Rehabilitation Suites, equipped with flat screen TVs, DVD players and sleeper-sofas for guests.  These Medicare-certified suites lend a fresh, comfortable atmosphere to those needing short-term rehabilitation for a variety of conditions including orthopedic, neurological and cardiovascular issues. 

The newly-constructed Rehabilitation Center features a large exercise gym utilizing state-of-the-art therapy technologies, private treatment rooms and therapy offices.  A unique feature of the Center is the Rehab-to-Home Training Suite, built to mimic features of a typical home setting including kitchen, laundry, dining, bedroom, and bath areas.  The Suite’s design assists rehabilitation patients making the transition to home, and offers therapists the opportunity to re-familiarize residents to real-life situations while still in an assisted environment.

One of the most distinctive features of the new Rehabilitation area is the Wellness Center; complete with a 21’ x 21’ heated therapeutic swimming pool, fitness room, and men’s and ladies’ locker rooms. In the future, the Wellness Center will be open to the public, offering use of the facilities, exercise classes, and other related activities. A canopied private entrance was included to give easy access to community visitors.

Recently, I read of a challenge to think of 5 things every day that you’re thankful for and to write them down.  The author said that doing this will change our perspective by keeping us focused on the positive things in our lives.  So in honor of Thanksgiving, here is my list:

1. I’m thankful for my family – not all of which are blood relatives, but are, instead great friends that I’ve chosen to include as members of my family. 
2. I’m thankful for the “enoughs” of life – enough heat, enough food and water, enough shelter and enough clothing.  So many are not so blessed.
3. I’m thankful for the privilege of meaningful work, and for having the opportunity to impact lives of residents and staff in positive ways at the times when they need us the most.
4. I’m thankful for the freedoms we enjoy here in America – the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the right to choose those who will govern us, the right to agree and disagree with one another, and all the other things that make our democracy so desirable.
5. I’m thankful for the privilege of living in the greatest country, one that gives us almost unlimited opportunities to achieve success if we’re willing to use our God-given abilities, work hard and keep a positive attitude.
