Independent Living that Fills Your Day With Meaning

Within our independent living community, you could find yourself enjoying lunch with friends at one of Peabody’s inviting dining spots, taking leisurely strolls across the picturesque 33-acre campus, visiting the Billie Jane Strauss Wellness Center for a rejuvenating workout, or simply relaxing in your beautifully appointed residence.

Situated approximately 30 miles from Fort Wayne, in the charming locale of Manchester, IN, Peabody Retirement Community stands as Northeastern Indiana’s premier destination for dynamic independent living. As a Peabody resident, you’ll relish a lifestyle devoid of home maintenance and brimming with opportunities for pleasure and fulfillment.
