LakeHouse Kalamazoo in Kalamazoo, MI delivers Assisted Living that can accommodate residents with complex needs. The clinical team manages advanced dementia and provides wound care, oxygen therapy, special-diet oversight, and comprehensive diabetic support for those on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Individual service plans outline vitals monitoring, blood-sugar checks, and physician-ordered treatments. Nurses review outcomes and update care plans as conditions change, keeping families informed through routine reports and scheduled conferences.
Licensed RNs or LPNs are on site, with a nurse on call 24/7. Staff members undergo background checks, remain awake on night shifts, and respond to in-room pull cords, while security personnel maintain constant coverage of the property. An activity director structures daily programming, and the community houses a therapy room and on-site pharmacy services. Direct-care staff can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained for all transfer levels—from walker or standby help to two-person or Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Apartments vary in size and layout; some provide private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and individual climate controls. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms, and basic cable, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are standard. Because not every apartment contains every feature, prospective residents should confirm specific details when touring. Staff handle maintenance requests promptly to ensure rooms remain safe and functional.
Dining follows a set menu prepared under dietitian guidance, with snacks available around the clock. In-room dining is offered when needed, and families can reserve a private dining room for special events. The kitchen team manages doctor-ordered modifications such as mechanical-chop, purée, or thickened-liquid textures and coordinates closely with nursing staff to track meal intake for diabetic or other therapeutic diets.
Independent Living residents on campus can opt for medication-management monitoring. Staff provide reminders, oversee dosing accuracy, and coordinate prescription refills, offering an extra layer of safety while allowing residents to maintain their overall independence.
Resident parking, wheelchair accessibility, and scheduled transportation complement the property’s location near public transit. Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, communal gardens, a barber/beauty shop, movie room, internet access, library, on-site religious services, and a range of special-interest clubs. Pets are allowed—it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
