Saint Therese IHM Senior Living in Monroe, MI operates as a nursing home offering around-the-clock skilled nursing care. Licensed nurses monitor residents’ vital signs, administer medications, and perform treatments ordered by physicians. The facility can accommodate both long-term residents who require significant assistance with daily activities and short-term guests who need rehabilitation after hospitalization. On-site rehabilitation professionals deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at restoring mobility, strength, and communication skills so that residents can return home or maintain their highest level of independence.
Additional medical support includes wound management, chronic disease monitoring, pain control, and coordination with outside specialists such as cardiologists and podiatrists who visit regularly. Laboratory and diagnostic services can be arranged without transferring residents to another location, reducing disruption to care routines. A registered dietitian oversees therapeutic meal plans for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and dysphagia. The facility also offers hospice coordination for end-of-life care and short-term respite stays for family caregivers who need a break.
Accommodations at this assisted-living facility range from private to companion rooms. Each room includes accessible bathrooms, basic furnishings, and an emergency call system linked to the nursing station. Some rooms feature adjustable hospital beds, individual climate controls, and limited kitchenettes, while select units may include a small patio or extra storage; not every room has all these features.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared in an on-site kitchen under dietitian supervision. Residents dine in a central dining room where staff assist with seating and portion control, and modified textures or nutrient-dense substitutions are available when prescribed. Those unable to leave their rooms receive tray service, and supplemental snacks and beverages are offered throughout the day to maintain hydration and caloric intake.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge that serves as a quiet space for reading, internet use, and video calls with family. Staff offer basic tech support for email, online banking, and virtual medical appointments, and scheduled activities such as book discussions and computer tutorials take place in the same area.
