Forest Glen Assisted Living in Dowagiac, Michigan, is licensed for assisted living and is designed for residents who need daily support but do not have a diagnosed dementia condition. Physician oversight is available on site, and residents have direct access to a nurse as well as visiting specialists that include a speech therapist and a podiatrist. Diabetes monitoring and management are offered, and clinical staff can coordinate medication administration, injections, and laboratory follow-ups. Physical, occupational, and ambulatory therapies are delivered in the community’s therapy areas, helping residents maintain strength and balance while remaining in familiar surroundings.

Daily living support is provided at a full-assistance level for bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and toileting. Transfer help is available for people who use walkers or wheelchairs, and the building operates as a secured community, with controlled entry points monitored around the clock. Incontinence care, routine vital-sign checks, and ongoing care plan reviews are part of standard service. Although memory-related assessments can be performed, the community does not serve residents with confirmed dementia diagnoses.

Residences are private or companion suites equipped with basic utilities and emergency call systems; housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included. Not all accommodations have every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific room layouts, storage options, and bathroom configurations during a tour.

Meals follow a set menu that rotates seasonally, and the culinary team works with dietitian guidance to manage physician-ordered modifications such as low-sodium, heart-healthy, or carbohydrate-controlled diets. Residents dine in a central dining room with table service, and snacks are available between meals for those who need extra calories or diabetic-compatible choices.

Community amenities include an exercise room for strength and balance classes, a dedicated wellness center for routine health checks, and a library that is stocked with current periodicals and large-print books. A barber and beauty shop offers scheduled hair and grooming services, while concierge staff handle transportation bookings, event sign-ups, and general questions. Mail and packages are sorted through a secure front-desk system, and residents can enjoy an outdoor patio for fresh air and social gatherings.
