Harbors Independent & Assisted Living in East Tawas offers three levels of residency—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Residential Care Home—so residents can move between options without leaving the community should their needs change. The building is staffed and monitored around the clock, and the team is trained to work with advanced dementia conditions, providing a secure setting for memory care residents while still accommodating those who need only minimal oversight.
The medical program is set up for residents who require ongoing or complex support. Staff members are prepared for overnight needs, wound care, oxygen management, special diets, and care of adults under 60. Diabetes oversight includes oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, and licensed professionals visit or work on site for nursing, medication management, podiatry, dentistry, vision, hearing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, ambulatory care, and incontinence care. Assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting can be provided up to full hands-on support, and the team is familiar with all mobility scenarios, including walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one- or two-person transfers, Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound care.
Apartments come in several layouts, and while many include a kitchenette, furnishings, cable service, and regular housekeeping, not every unit features every amenity. Prospective residents can review floor plans and choose the combination of space and services that best fits their preferences and budget.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen staff can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, thickened liquids, puree, mechanical-chop, and other specialized meal textures or nutrient adjustments.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas for easy mobility, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet access throughout the building, and regular on-site religious services for those who wish to attend.
