Chesaning Comfort Care Assisted Living and Memory Care accepts residents who need either traditional assisted living or a secured memory-care setting. The team is prepared to manage moderate dementia and the behaviors that often accompany it, including daytime and nighttime wandering, exit-seeking, combativeness and reversed sleep patterns. Medical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen management and complex diabetic regimens, whether the resident uses oral medications, injections or a sliding scale. Therapeutic diets are planned for anyone with cardiac, renal, diabetic or other physician-ordered nutritional restrictions.
Clinical staffing is built around a registered or licensed practical nurse on every shift, with a 24-hour nurse physically on site. Background-screened caregivers provide wakeful overnight coverage, and emergency call systems, door alarms and a fenced rear area help keep residents secure. A dedicated activity director designs engagement for all cognitive levels, while podiatry is available in house to reduce outside appointments. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and the staff can handle transfers ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for those who are bed bound.
Apartments are designed for safety first, but several floor plans add comfort features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls and basic cable; availability of each feature varies by unit type. Families can tour different layouts to select the space that best matches the resident’s mobility and care requirements.
Meals follow a set menu, and snacks are always on hand to support personalized dining schedules. The kitchen works with nursing to modify textures, portion sizes and nutrient content, so residents with diabetes, heart disease or other conditions receive appropriate meals without compromising flavor.
Beyond direct care, Chesaning Comfort Care offers resident parking, fully wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, exercise and movie rooms, community internet access, landscaped gardens, an activity room with piano, on-site religious services, a designated gourmet dining space for special occasions and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments.
