Medilodge of Livingston in Howell, MI operates as a skilled nursing home. The center accepts residents who need long-term custodial nursing as well as individuals requiring short-stay rehabilitation. Licensed therapists provide on-site physical therapy designed to improve mobility, balance, and strength after illness or surgery. The facility also offers respite care, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring that their loved ones receive round-the-clock professional supervision.
Beyond the core nursing and therapy services, the facility maintains 24-hour registered nursing coverage for medication administration, wound care, and monitoring of chronic conditions. Care plans are reviewed routinely by an interdisciplinary team that includes physicians, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists, allowing adjustments as a resident’s needs change. Coordination with outside providers for lab work, imaging, and specialty consultations is arranged when required so that residents can receive the majority of their care without leaving the building.
Resident accommodations include private and shared rooms, each with basic furnishings and an emergency call system. Some rooms provide direct access to outdoor areas, allowing residents easy entry to secure patios and walking paths, while others do not. Because room layouts and features vary, prospective residents should confirm specific details during a visit to be sure the space meets their expectations.
Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served three times daily in the main dining room, with tray service available for residents who prefer or require in-room dining. Menus are developed by a registered dietitian, and therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic options can be accommodated. Snacks are available between meals, and family members are welcome to join their loved ones for dining with advance notice.
An activity center serves as the hub for recreational and social programs, offering group exercises, arts and crafts, and scheduled events that encourage resident engagement.
