West Hickory Haven in Milford, MI, operates as a nursing-home provider, delivering around-the-clock skilled care for residents who need a higher level of medical oversight. The community accepts individuals for both long-term placement and short-term respite stays, allowing families temporary relief while their loved one receives professional supervision. Licensed nurses are on site 24 hours a day to monitor vital signs, administer medications, and coordinate with physicians. Physical therapy services are available on campus, giving residents access to treatment plans designed to improve mobility, manage pain, and support recovery after injury or surgery.
Beyond the core nursing and therapy services, the staff maintains individualized care plans that address chronic conditions, wound management, and post-acute rehabilitation needs. Caregivers assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and transferring, ensuring each resident’s daily routine is carried out safely. The facility uses routine assessments to adjust care levels as health conditions change, and emergency response systems are in place to provide rapid intervention when necessary. Transportation to outside medical appointments can be arranged when specialized consultations are required.
Resident rooms are designed for functionality and safety, with some offering direct access to outdoor areas where individuals can enjoy fresh air within the secured grounds. Floor plans vary, and not every room includes the same set of features, so families should verify specific layouts and amenity availability during a tour. Common spaces are kept accessible to accommodate mobility devices, and housekeeping and laundry services are provided to maintain a clean environment.
Three daily meals are prepared and served in the communal dining area, with menus developed to meet nutritional guidelines set by dietitians. Staff members monitor dietary needs, including texture modifications and physician-ordered restrictions. Optional snacks and hydration stations are offered throughout the day. Because room configurations differ, in-room dining accommodations may not be available in every unit, making it important to ask about individual preferences ahead of admission.
Residents can take advantage of an on-site activity center, organized clubs and community groups, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet access, and scheduled social outings to nearby attractions. These programs aim to keep residents engaged and socially connected while respecting individual capabilities and interests.
