The Brook of Gladwin offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to match their level of required help. Beyond long-term stays, the community accepts respite and other short-term stays, providing a practical option for post-hospital recovery or caregiver relief. Diabetes management is available, and a speech therapist can be scheduled for residents who need communication or swallowing support.
Medical resources are kept close at hand. A licensed nurse is on site, and residents have access to occupational, physical, and speech therapy, as well as podiatry visits. Care staff can assist with incontinence management, ambulatory care, and memory care for those with cognitive decline. Hospice services are available when needed, ensuring continuity of care as conditions change. An emergency call system links apartments directly to staff, so assistance is dispatched quickly at any hour.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger floor plans, each designed for step-free living. Features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, cable TV, utilities, and housekeeping are available, though not every unit includes every feature. Residents can keep a small pet, use outdoor seating areas, or read in the library and computer lounge. Parking is provided for those who still drive.
Three daily meals are prepared on site and served in a common dining space. Menus are planned to meet general nutritional guidelines, and staff can adjust portions or ingredients for residents who follow specialized diets, including diabetic-friendly plans.
Residents can spend time outdoors in designated areas, join structured programs in the activity center, and take part in regular social outings arranged by the staff. These options help residents keep a predictable routine while staying connected to the larger Gladwin community.
