Vista Springs Trillium Village in Clarkston, Michigan, provides two primary levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care that accommodates residents living with advanced dementia. The community is designed to support older adults who need daily oversight, medication management, and cognitive support without requiring the clinical intensity of a skilled nursing facility. Licensed staff monitor health changes, coordinate with outside physicians, and implement care plans that prioritize safety, stability, and consistent routines, particularly for residents with significant memory loss.
Around-the-clock staffing includes an awake night shift to manage urgent needs and reduce fall risk during overnight hours. Direct-care team members can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting and offer some physical help at mealtimes to encourage resident independence where possible. The community is equipped to handle a wide range of mobility requirements, from standby supervision for walker users to one- or two-person transfers and mechanical lifts for residents who need full support. Regular assessments ensure that the level of hands-on care stays appropriate as conditions change.
Accommodations at Vista Springs Trillium Village include a mix of studio and one-bedroom layouts, each engineered with step-free bathrooms, emergency call systems, and ergonomic lighting to reduce confusion and nighttime disorientation. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and temperature controls allow residents to set their own comfort levels. Not all apartments include every feature; prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day, with menu options adapted to physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic. Staff can portion or texture-modify foods for residents with chewing or swallowing issues, and nutrition reviews are integrated into each care plan. A private dining room lets families share celebratory meals without leaving the property, and hydration stations remain available between scheduled dining times.
Residents can take advantage of multiple on-site amenities, including a movie room, creative arts center, fireplace settings for small gatherings, salon services with barber and beauty offerings, and a spa area that provides massage therapy. Internet access supports video calls and online activities, while concierge staff coordinate transportation and appointment scheduling. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
