Autumnwood Of Deckerville in Deckerville, Michigan operates as a nursing home and provides around-the-clock skilled nursing care. Licensed nurses oversee daily medical needs, manage medications, and monitor vital signs. The clinical team also offers short-term respite stays, giving family caregivers a break while residents receive the same level of supervision and support as long-term residents. Access to on-site rehabilitation services and coordination with outside physicians help residents maintain or regain functional abilities.
Care plans are tailored to each resident after an assessment that covers physical health, cognitive status, and personal preferences. Certified nursing assistants deliver help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, while therapy staff provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy as ordered. The facility arranges transportation for off-site medical appointments and keeps an emergency response system in place to ensure rapid intervention when needed.
Resident rooms are offered in both private and shared layouts, each equipped with basic furnishings, safety features such as grab bars, and an emergency call system. Some accommodations include direct access to outdoor areas or garden views, though not every room has all of these options. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs to keep living spaces functional and safe.
Three meals a day are prepared on-site and served in a communal dining room designed to encourage social interaction. Menus are developed to meet general nutritional guidelines, and therapeutic diets are available for residents with specific medical requirements such as low-sodium, diabetic, or puréed options. When a resident is unable to dine in the main room, meals can be delivered to the room.
Daily life is supplemented by an activity center where residents can join exercise sessions, crafts, or group games. A library and computer lounge gives residents access to reading materials, internet connectivity, and a quiet space for individual pursuits.
