🎩☕ Mad Hatter Tea Party Celebration! ☕🎩

Today we tumbled down the rabbit hole and celebrated the birthday of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland! 🐇📖

Our Mad Hatter Tea Party was full of smiles, laughter, and tasty treats — including lil’ smokies, cupcakes, cookies, juice, and tea. 🧁🍪🫖 It was a wonderfully whimsical way to enjoy good company and a little Wonderland-inspired fun!

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” — Lewis Carroll

A delightful afternoon full of imagination, conversation, and sweet memories! 💐✨

Did You Know: Residents can maintain their independence while living in a care facility?

🗝️ Independence, supported. We believe in giving residents freedom and choice while providing the care they need. Because dignity and quality of life matter every day.

Care Initiatives is committed to helping residents maintain as much independence as possible. We respect personal routines, preferences, choices, and provide the right level of support for daily needs while encouraging residents to stay active, make decisions, and enjoy the things they love. Independence and quality of life go hand in hand here!

Welcome to Corydon Specialty Care

We here at Corydon Specialty Care are committed to the concept that each patient deserves the best quality of life possible. We approach this concept as a team who works closely with the patients’ physician to develop a customized care plan that meets all the patients’ needs – physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Our friendly staff, nurses, therapists and aides ensure a safe, homelike environment.

Located on the edge of Corydon, we provide private and semi-private rooms. Thirteen rooms are served for individuals suffering from Chronic Confusion or Dementing Illness (CCDI) such as Alzheimer’s disease. In this wing, we have increased safety and security measures and created a low-stimulus environment. In conjunction with individualized care plans, this dedicated area assists our residents to optimize their remaining functions, assists them in their losses, and provides an environment to minimize stress and barriers.

Physical, occupational and speech therapists are on hand daily to work one-on-one with each patient. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows each patient to maximize mobility, gain strength, increase flexibility and balance as well as speed healing from any injury that may have occurred.
