Serene Gardens of Imlay City delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to age in place even when moderate dementia becomes a factor. Medical oversight is a priority: registered nurses and physicians make in-house visits, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and staff manage medications for everything from routine prescriptions to insulin injections. Oxygen therapy is supported, and the community is equipped to admit adults under 60 when appropriate. Diabetic residents—whether on oral medications or injections—find the monitoring and intervention they need without leaving the building.
Continuous supervision backs up the clinical services. Staff members remain awake on the night shift, doorways are alarmed, and rooms feature pull cords and personal emergency response systems that alert personnel at any hour. Background checks are required for every hire. Residents who need hands-on help receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfers are accommodated whether the individual walks with a cane, uses a wheelchair, or requires one-person or two-person lift support. An activity director coordinates cognitive and social programs that align with residents’ care plans.
Apartments come in several layouts; some offer kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable hookups, while others include only a subset of those features. All units receive housekeeping and scheduled laundry service, and maintenance handles repairs so residents don’t have to.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates to cover nutritional requirements, though staff can provide mechanical-chopped or puréed alternatives and other physician-ordered diet modifications. Snacks are available between meals, and caregivers are on hand to assist residents who need help cutting food, lifting utensils, or managing adaptive dining equipment.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-ready common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a dedicated movie room, and reliable internet service. Outdoor time is encouraged in the secure communal gardens, while indoor options include a library and regularly scheduled religious services.
