We Are There For Our Neighbors.

What started as the “Oak Street Home” has evolved to several thriving senior communities across Northeast Indiana. While a lot has changed, our mission to serve seniors in our communities has remained the same. And as we continue to grow to serve our 55+ population, we will always strive to provide a better way of living for our residents, staff, and everyone in our community.
