Medilodge of Richmond in Richmond, MI, operates as a skilled nursing facility designed for residents who require continuous medical oversight. Registered nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to manage medication, monitor vital signs, and assist with activities of daily living. The clinical team coordinates closely with physicians to address complex health needs commonly associated with post-hospital recovery, chronic illness management, and long-term custodial care.
In addition to full-time nursing support, the facility offers structured respite care for families seeking short-term relief. A dedicated rehabilitation department provides on-site physical therapy, allowing residents to work on mobility, strength, and balance without leaving the building. Individual care plans outline therapy frequency and measurable goals, and progress is reviewed regularly by licensed therapists in collaboration with the nursing staff.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each designed for basic comfort and safety. Some rooms have direct access to outdoor areas, while others are closer to nurse stations; not every room has identical features. Standard furnishings, accessible bathrooms, and an emergency call system support the day-to-day needs of residents.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared under the guidance of a dietitian. Menus rotate regularly and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified requirements. Meals are generally served in a central dining room to encourage social interaction, with in-room service available for residents who are recovering or prefer privacy.
The community maintains an activity center where residents can take part in scheduled social, educational, and therapeutic programs. Staff organize group events such as crafts, games, and light exercise sessions to promote engagement and maintain cognitive and physical abilities.
