Kernway On The Lake Bloomfield Hills operates as a licensed residential care home, giving residents a non-institutional setting while still delivering clinically focused support. The staff is qualified to handle advanced dementia and provides continuous monitoring for individuals who need overnight attention. Medical capabilities include wound management, oxygen administration, and strict adherence to physician-ordered special diets. The team is trained to assist residents under 60 as well as those managing diabetes—whether that involves oral medications, scheduled injections, or sliding-scale insulin adjustments.
A full care model backs these medical services. Security and caregiving personnel remain on site around the clock, so help is available without delay. Residents who need hands-on assistance receive complete help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility needs are addressed through a broad range of transfer options: walker guidance, wheelchair support, standby supervision, one- or two-person transfers, full transfer with a Hoyer lift, and care for those who are bed bound.
Accommodations are designed for comfort and practicality. Certain rooms include private bathrooms and kitchenettes, and many come furnished with cable service already installed. Housekeeping is provided, and some units are equipped with in-suite laundry. Because layouts vary, not every room contains every feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific amenities during a tour.
Dining follows a set menu that emphasizes balanced nutrition and can be modified for physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-altered meals. Regular snack availability helps maintain stable blood-sugar levels and addresses between-meal hunger, especially important for residents with complex medical needs.
The community is fully wheelchair accessible, allowing residents who use mobility devices to navigate common areas and private spaces without barriers.
