Meadow Lane Assisted Living and Memory Care in Bad Axe, Michigan, is licensed to provide both Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need day-to-day help with bathing, dressing, mobility, or medication routines receive these services under the Assisted Living program, while individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia benefit from a dedicated Memory Care environment designed to reduce confusion and enhance safety. Each program is staffed around the clock, giving families the reassurance that help is available whenever it is needed.
In addition to basic personal care, the community can support residents who require diabetes management, including blood-sugar monitoring and insulin assistance when ordered by a physician. On-site professionals accept residents with certain psychiatric issues, coordinating with outside specialists as necessary. A nurse is on duty or on call for routine assessments, medication oversight, and coordination of physician visits, lab work, and therapy services, allowing residents to remain in place as care needs change.
Living spaces are offered in multiple layouts, and features such as private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate are available in many, but not all, units. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included; residents in Independent Living receive the same housekeeping and laundry support on a schedule that respects their greater self-sufficiency. Families should confirm which specific features are included in the accommodation they are considering.
Dining is provided three times a day, with both set menus and on-order selections. The culinary team can accommodate diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets, as well as physician-ordered nutrition management plans. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and staff members monitor intake for those with special dietary needs.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, transportation services, on-site religious services, and a variety of special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
