Espanola House in Parchment, MI is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need daily support and specialized medical oversight. The staff provides diabetes care that includes regular blood-glucose checks, insulin administration, and monitoring of diet to keep readings within physician-prescribed ranges. A licensed speech therapist is available on site to work with residents who have swallowing or communication challenges, delivering therapy sessions according to each resident’s care plan.

Beyond the specialty services, the community supplies routine nursing oversight, medication management, and assistance with bathing, dressing, and mobility. Caregivers are on duty around the clock, updating electronic records and communicating with outside physicians to adjust plans quickly when health conditions change. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments is included, and families receive periodic care-plan reviews to stay informed about progress and any recommended adjustments.

Living spaces at Espanola House vary in size and layout, and not every accommodation has every feature. Depending on the unit, residents may have access to outdoor areas, private balconies or patios, wheelchair-accessible showers, in-room climate control, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and views of the central fireplace or deck.

Meals are prepared on site, with menus that accommodate low-sodium and no-added-sugar needs. Three daily meals plus snacks are included, and the kitchen works with clinical staff to tailor portions and ingredients to each resident’s dietary orders, an important component of the community’s diabetes management program.

Residents can take part in an activity center that hosts yoga and chair-yoga sessions, hobby clubs, birthday celebrations, and time in raised garden beds for those who enjoy light outdoor work.
