Brookridge Heights in Marquette, MI offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between service levels without leaving the community. Clinical oversight includes registered and licensed practical nurses on staff, a nurse on call around-the-clock, and care protocols that accommodate special diets and residents managing diabetes with oral medications. The community is equipped to serve individuals living with advanced dementia, and on-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments.
Additional safety measures include background-checked team members, awake night staffing, 24-hour security coverage, door-alarm systems, and pull-cord alerts that summon help quickly. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and toileting. Mobility and transfer help ranges from standby or walker support to one-person or two-person transfers and wheelchair assistance. An activity director plans structured and therapeutic programs each day to engage residents at varying cognitive and physical levels.
Apartments can include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping with scheduled laundry, but not every unit has every feature, so families should confirm availability during a tour. Layouts are designed to reduce confusion for memory-care residents while still giving assisted-living residents freedom to personalize their space.
Dining services offer set menus at each meal, the option to order alternatives, anytime snacks, in-room tray service when needed, and a private dining room for family visits. The culinary team manages diet modifications to support physician-directed meal plans and clinical guidelines.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, a movie room, internet connectivity, communal gardens, scheduled religious services, a library, and community transportation for errands and appointments.
