Essence Memory Care LLC in Northville, Michigan offers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Residential Care Home and Memory Care—under one roof. Residents with wandering behaviors during either the day or night are accepted, and the team is trained to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special dietary needs and all forms of diabetic management, including oral medication regimens, injections and sliding-scale insulin. The community is equipped and staffed to care for individuals living with early, moderate or advanced dementia, aiming to keep them safely supported on site as their needs change.

Around-the-clock care coverage includes an awake night shift, on-call nursing 24 hours a day and staff who have passed background checks. Door alarms, interior security systems and continuous staff presence provide an added layer of safety. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need to leave the community for foot care. Residents who need total assistance with bathing, eating, dressing or toileting receive one-on-one help, and transfer capabilities range from simple standby support for walker users to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for those who are fully non-weight-bearing.

Private and semi-private rooms are available furnished, though families may bring personal items, and some rooms may be painted or decorated to suit individual tastes. Cable television, housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are offered, but not every accommodation includes all optional features, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Common areas are designed to feel residential and allow easy navigation for those with mobility devices.

Dining follows a flexible approach that combines set menus with on-order choices, and snacks are available throughout the day and evening. The kitchen accommodates mechanical-chopped, puréed and thickened-liquid textures, as well as vegetarian selections. Special diabetic, cardiac or other physician-ordered diets align with the community’s broader medical nutrition management capabilities.

The residence is wheelchair accessible throughout and features a full home kitchen in the house, a barber and beauty salon, high-speed internet access and landscaped communal gardens. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and local outings.
