Greencastle Family Care in Farmington Hills delivers memory-care services designed for residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community maintains 24-hour staffing, routine safety checks, and a secure setting to reduce wandering risk. Nurses and trained caregivers monitor blood-glucose levels, administer insulin when prescribed, and coordinate closely with physicians to address diabetes management. Medication administration, behavior observation, and prompt communication with families keep medical support consistent and transparent.
Beyond direct medical oversight, residents receive daily assistance with bathing, dressing, and mobility, along with scheduled escorts to on-site activities and therapy sessions. Care staff follow individualized service plans that can be adjusted as needs change, and on-call nursing is available for urgent concerns. The community arranges transportation for outside medical appointments, maintains an electronic record system for quick access to health information, and follows evidence-based dementia engagement techniques to help preserve cognitive function.
Living spaces are organized to support both comfort and safety. Accommodation options may feature wheelchair-accessible showers, full bath tubs, private baths, and resident-controlled thermostats; however, not every room includes every feature. Indoor common areas provide climate-controlled spaces for conversation or activities, while secure outdoor courtyards offer fresh air and supervised walks. Resident parking is available for those who keep a personal vehicle, and all areas are laid out to support clear sightlines and easy navigation.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room; staff can provide tray service to a resident’s apartment when needed. Menus meet nutritional guidelines for older adults and are reviewed to align with individual dietary restrictions, including carbohydrate-controlled options for diabetes management. Caregivers give cueing or hands-on assistance during meals for residents with dementia, and snacks are offered between meals to maintain stable energy levels.
