Fairview AFC in Grand Ledge, MI, is a dedicated Memory Care residence equipped to serve residents across the full spectrum of dementia, including advanced conditions. The community accepts individuals who wander at any time of day, present elopement risks, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, remain awake through the night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, or are under 60 years old. Diabetic residents are accommodated whether they manage with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. A registered or licensed practical nurse is on staff around the clock, and a nurse is physically on-site 24 hours a day to oversee medical plans and respond to urgent needs. Podiatry services are available in-house, minimizing the need for off-site appointments.
Supportive services cover every activity of daily living. The team provides full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and can accommodate transfer needs ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents. Security measures include background-checked staff, an awake night shift, nonstop staff coverage, fenced grounds front and rear, alarmed doors, a wander guard system, and both pull cords and PERS devices that alert staff immediately.
Residents may choose from rooms that vary by features. Some include private bathrooms, furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Because not every accommodation offers every feature, families should review room specifics during their visit. Common spaces are designed to be easily navigated by those with memory loss and mobility challenges.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diet modifications such as diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-modified plans. Staff provide full assistance at mealtimes for anyone who needs help cutting food, using adaptive utensils, or receiving cueing. Snacks are available throughout the day and night to support consistent nutrition and reduce agitation that can arise from hunger.
Fairview AFC offers wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a small farm, and a library, giving residents a range of structured and casual engagement options without leaving the property.
