Sunrise of Shelby Township delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to everyday support as well as specialized services for those living with cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The community admits residents who wander during either the day or night, remain awake throughout the night, require wound care, need oxygen management, follow special diets, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes whether via oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Care plans are adjusted to match the individual’s medical profile, allowing staff to respond quickly to changes in condition and help residents remain as independent as possible.
A nurse is on call around the clock, and the building maintains 24-hour staffing with doors alarmed for added security. An Activity Director coordinates daily programming, while visiting podiatry and dental professionals handle routine on-site appointments. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when required. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision and walker aid to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers, and services extend to bed-bound residents. These resources allow the community to keep many residents on campus who might otherwise require a higher level of care elsewhere.
Apartments offer a selection of features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, independent temperature controls, cable, and the option to paint or decorate; however, not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to verify availability during a tour. Housekeeping keeps residences tidy, and maintenance handles basic repairs. Residents who choose Independent Living within the same campus have weekly housekeeping and laundry included, helping them focus on activities rather than chores.
Dining follows a set menu with dietitian oversight for modifications that may include low-sugar, low-salt, or textured diets. Scheduled meals are complemented by snacks that remain available throughout the day. Staff monitor intake for those who need cueing or total assistance with eating, and diabetic residents receive carbohydrate-controlled options in coordination with their medication schedule. Special diets ordered by physicians are accommodated as part of routine meal service.
Amenities round out daily life with resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and pet-friendly policies. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Residents can visit the on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise in the fitness area, watch shows in the movie room, browse the internet, or relax in communal gardens. Regular religious services are held on campus, supporting spiritual well-being without the need to travel off-site.
