Brownstown’s Forest View Assisted Living provides a single level of care—Assisted Living—with attention to a wide range of medical needs. Staff can stay up all night to monitor residents who require frequent checks, manage complex wound care, administer oxygen, and follow physician-ordered special diets. The team is experienced with residents younger than 60, as well as those managing diabetes whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale protocols. Care plans also extend to individuals living with advanced dementia conditions, ensuring consistency and safety for those with significant cognitive decline.
Beyond clinical oversight, the community maintains an Activity Director and 24-hour on-site staff and security. In-house medical support covers incontinence management, ambulatory assistance, and coordination of hospice services when needed. Direct personal care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from minimal standby to complete Hoyer-lift and bed-bound transfers, accommodating walkers, wheelchairs, one-person or two-person lifts as residents’ abilities change.
Private and semiprivate rooms come furnished, and residents may request repainting or add personal décor to make the space comfortable. Cable service and regular housekeeping are available, although not every room includes each optional feature, so families should verify availability during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with staff able to modify textures—such as mechanical-chop or thickened liquids—and honor vegetarian or gluten-free requests. Between meals, snacks are on hand, and diet management protocols help residents adhere to physician-ordered restrictions.
The property is wheelchair accessible, allowing residents and visitors who use mobility devices to move throughout common areas and residential wings without barriers.
