Walnut Creek Of Shelby in Shelby Township is an assisted-living community designed to support residents who require varying levels of medical oversight. Staff are trained to monitor and assist individuals who wander during the day or night, intervene in cases of elopement risk, and manage episodes of combative or other challenging behaviors. Care teams are available for residents who stay up all night, need wound care, use oxygen, follow special therapeutic diets, or are younger than 60. Diabetes management is offered at three levels—oral medication, injection, and sliding-scale insulin—so residents receive precise monitoring and dosage adjustments.

Beyond condition-specific care, the community provides routine assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility. Medication administration is overseen by licensed professionals, and care plans are reviewed regularly to adapt to changes in health status. Scheduled wellness checks, coordination with external physicians, and on-site emergency response protocols add further layers of safety. Families receive ongoing updates, and care conferences are arranged so that everyone stays informed about the resident’s needs and progress.

Accommodations are available in multiple layouts, some furnished and some empty so residents can decorate their own spaces. Cable service, regular housekeeping, and laundry service are offered, although not every room includes every feature. The goal is to match amenities to the resident’s preferences and budget while ensuring each living space remains clean and functional.

Dining includes both set menus and on-order options prepared to meet physician-directed diet modifications, with snacks available throughout the day. Meals are served in a common dining room, but staff can deliver plates to residents who prefer or need to eat in their rooms. Diabetic-friendly choices, low-sodium selections, and other dietary adjustments are routinely accommodated to align with individual care plans.
