Able Manor AFC in Clarkston, Michigan, operates as both an assisted living community and a residential care home, allowing residents to receive the level of daily support that suits their conditions. The team is trained to manage diabetes, with regular blood-sugar monitoring and medication assistance overseen by a visiting physician. On-site medical services add another layer of support, including nursing supervision, podiatry visits for foot health, incontinence management, and help with mobility through ambulatory care. These services are integrated so residents can remain in place even as their health needs change.
Safety and responsiveness are central to the day-to-day routine. An emergency call system links every resident to staff around the clock, reducing response times in urgent situations. Caregivers coordinate closely with nurses and the physician to track health changes, adjust care plans, and schedule follow-up visits when needed. This structure aims to minimize hospital transfers and give families a clear line of communication about their loved ones’ status.
Accommodations include private and semi-private rooms that may feature housekeeping service, access to outdoor seating areas, parking for personal vehicles, and views of landscaped grounds. Fully furnished units are available for residents who prefer a turnkey move-in, while those bringing their own furniture can personalize their space. Not every room contains every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm availability during a tour.
Dining is handled on site, with three daily meals prepared to meet varied dietary requirements. Low-sodium options are routinely offered, and healthy snacks are stocked for between-meal nutrition or late-night hunger. Staff monitor intake for residents with specific medical diets, coordinating closely with healthcare providers to reinforce diabetes and weight-management plans.
Residents can stay active and engaged through an activity center that hosts arts and crafts workshops, structured health and wellness programs, and interest-based clubs and communities. Scheduled social outings extend participation beyond the property, giving residents the chance to attend local events or run errands with staff supervision.
