Grandhaven Living Center in Lansing offers Assisted Living, Independent Living and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to move between levels of support without changing communities. The team is equipped to care for residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk of elopement, individuals with combative or other behavioral issues and people who are awake overnight. Clinical protocols are in place for wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, insulin by injection or sliding scale and oral diabetic medications. The community also accepts adults under 60 and can continue supporting residents through the advanced stages of dementia.
A licensed nurse is on-site 24 hours a day and another is on call, backed by background-checked staff who work awake overnight. Security measures include fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull cords and personal emergency response systems that alert staff at any hour. A visiting podiatrist provides on-site foot care. Caregivers can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they are trained for transfer needs ranging from standby help to two-person or Hoyer lift support for bed-bound residents. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Residences vary in layout and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service and the option to paint or decorate the room; not every unit contains every feature. Families can choose the space that fits both the resident’s care plan and personal preferences.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary staff, with modifications available for physician-ordered or preference-based diets such as low-sugar, low-salt or mechanically altered textures. Staff are available in the dining areas to provide partial or full assistance with eating when needed and to monitor intake for residents with medical or cognitive challenges.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet service, landscaped communal gardens and regular religious services held in the building.
