The Retreat at Northville offers three levels of long-term support: assisted living, residential care home, and a dedicated memory care program. The care team is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, need monitoring throughout the night, require oxygen management, or follow complex diet prescriptions. Individuals under 60 are accepted, and the staff manages diabetes whether controlled with oral medication, scheduled injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Advanced dementia is supported, with routines and safety measures tailored to the changing needs of residents who live with progressive cognitive decline.
Around-the-clock oversight is standard. An RN or LPN is on site, a nurse remains on call 24 hours a day, and all employees undergo background checks. Night shifts are staffed by awake personnel, doors are alarmed, and a full security presence is maintained. Residents have access to on-site podiatry and pharmacy services. Daily living assistance can be provided at the highest level, including full help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers, and the team accommodates walkers, wheelchairs, and bed-bound residents.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished and may include cable television. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services keep living spaces orderly, but not every room features every option, so it is advisable to review specific layouts during a tour. Common areas extend the home-like environment with lounges and activity spaces designed for ease of movement.
Meals are prepared according to physician-ordered or resident-preferred diets. A rotating set menu is available, but residents may place on-order requests, receive room service, or pick up snacks at any time. The kitchen can produce gluten-free meals, mechanically chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, and vegetarian options. Dietitians work with nursing staff to modify portions, oversee calorie counts, and ensure that medical nutrition therapy goals are met.
Residents have access to parking for personal vehicles, wheelchair-accessible pathways, high-speed internet, and landscaped communal gardens. On-site religious services are held regularly, and a stair glide assists those who prefer to avoid elevators. Public transportation stops are nearby for off-site appointments or outings, making it easier for residents and visitors to travel to and from the community.
