The Villages of Lapeer Nursing & Rehabilitation offers skilled nursing care designed for residents who need 24-hour medical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to monitor vital signs, administer medications, handle IV therapy, manage wounds, and respond to urgent changes in condition. The center also supports post-surgical recovery through coordinated rehabilitation plans that may include on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy, all ordered by the attending physician. Laboratory and diagnostic services can be arranged on site, and transportation is coordinated for off-site medical appointments when required.
Beyond direct medical services, the staff provides consistent help with bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and other activities of daily living. An interdisciplinary team reviews each resident’s status regularly to adjust care plans, address pain management needs, and monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes or cardiac disease. Social services staff assist with discharge planning, family communication, and insurance paperwork, while restorative nursing programs work to maintain or improve residents’ current level of functioning between formal therapy sessions. Short-term respite and hospice support are also available for families needing temporary or end-of-life care alternatives.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with adjustable beds, individual climate controls, and basic cable hookups, though not every room contains every feature. Most rooms have wheelchair-accessible bathrooms with grab bars and emergency call systems, and housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a regular schedule. Residents are welcome to personalize their living space with small furnishings and décor items, subject to safety guidelines.
Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian, and three daily servings are offered in a communal dining room with tray service available for residents who prefer or require in-room dining. Menus rotate to provide variety and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-altered diets. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals, and staff members assist residents who need help cutting food or maintaining adequate hydration. Nutritional intake is tracked so care teams can intervene promptly if weight or appetite changes occur.
