Pulaski Health Care Center

Pulaski Health Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, was established in 1959 to promote charitable and educational purposes, both directly to and by the application of funds and assets to a Health care organization in Pulaski county. Its first project was to facilitate donations and build Pulaski memorial hospital. Pulaski Health Foundation continued to care for and improve life and Health for those who can no longer do so for themselves by facilitating funds, building and managing Pulaski Health care center, a 58 bed skilled nursing facility, which provides medicare short stay restorative services and long-term continued care. Pulaski Health care center's comprehensive care programs, designed to meet the daily living needs of each resident, include: 24-hour nursing services, assistance with medication, personal hygiene, and ambulation. The therapy program provides physical, occupational, and speech therapies. The meal service provides dining in a restaurant style atmosphere and includes therapeutic and mechanically altered diets. Other services offered to residents are activities with many recreational opportunities, social services, laundry, and housekeeping. Pulaski Health care center provides a home like environment, a friendly atmosphere that facilitates self-worth and dignity in the people that reside here.

Pulaski Health Foundation's goal to receive and maintain a fund (or funds) of real or personal property, or both, (which are subject to the restrictions and limitations therein after set forth to use and apply the whole or any part of the income for the construction, furnishing, equipping, improvement, repair, operation and maintenance of the facilities and services of Health care organizations of Pulaski county) was met by the purchase of parkview haven, a continuing care retirement community (crcc) located in francesville, Indiana in Pulaski county on september 1, 2013. Parkview haven was a not-for-profit church based ccrc that shared many of the same goals and missions of Pulaski Health Foundation. This acquisition would further advance Pulaski Health Foundation's mission to care for and improve life and Health for those who can no longer do so for themselves, to provide a home like environment with a friendly place that activates self-worth and dignity for the senior population and to provide safe, decent and affordable housing for low and moderate income senior citizens.

Pulaski Health Foundation's goal to provide safe, decent and affordable housing for low and moderate income senior citizens is accomplished through the establishment of riverwood commons, a 24 unit apartment building that provides secure independent housing for low and moderate income/55 and older or disabled persons. Riverwood commons was established through the use of tax credits and remains under the specified programs of the Indiana housing and community development authority and federal home loan bank of indianapolis. Pulaski Health Foundation, as owner, provides activity programs to the residents that live at riverwood commons, capital funds for improvements to the property, and replacement of furnishings. Pulaski Health Foundation also provides direct oversight of the management company, harrison real estate. Property management performs the daily management of the property, provides information for audits and inspections, and assists tenants with their financial regulatory requirements according to the Indiana housing and community development authority tax credit programs.
