About The Whitcomb Senior Living Tower

from Oasis Senior Advisors

The Whitcomb Senior Living Tower provides assisted-living care with on-site and on-call medical support. Residents have access to a licensed physician who conducts regular visits and remains available for consultation. A speech therapist is part of the clinical team for residents who need help maintaining or improving communication and swallowing skills. The community also accepts respite and short-term stays, giving families a structured option when a primary caregiver is unavailable or when a resident is transitioning back from a hospital stay.

Beyond these core medical services, staff members are on duty around the clock to assist with medication management, mobility, bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living. Routine wellness checks, an emergency call system, and coordination with outside healthcare providers aim to keep residents on track with treatment plans while reducing the likelihood of hospital readmission. Transportation for medical appointments is available, and care plans are reviewed regularly so support levels can be adjusted as needs change.

Apartments and common areas are designed to balance comfort with practicality. Some residences have wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite television, and individual climate control, while others may offer different configurations. Outdoor gathering spaces, on-site parking, and a community piano or organ give residents options for fresh air, convenience, and casual entertainment. Because floor plans and features vary, prospective residents should verify which specific amenities are included in the unit they are considering.

Meals are prepared on site and served three times a day with an emphasis on balanced nutrition. Vegetarian choices are available at each sitting, and the kitchen can accommodate most physician-directed dietary modifications. Family members or friends who wish to dine with residents can purchase guest meals, making visits more flexible and convenient.

Leisure programming includes an activity center, a library and computer lounge, regularly scheduled happy hours, yoga and chair-yoga classes, birthday celebrations, community dances, live-music events, and organized social outings. These options are designed to keep residents mentally engaged and socially connected while offering varying levels of physical activity.

#1 in St. Joseph, MI

Residents and their families say:

This community has been praised for its location, cleanliness, and the variety of amenities it offers, making it a preferred choice for many reviewers and their loved ones. Residents appreciate the attentive and caring staff, the availability of various activities to keep them engaged, and the sense of community fostered among the residents. The facility is noted for providing decent meals, and for many, the rooms, especially the larger studio apartments, are a highlight due to their adequate size and equipped features. The community's efforts to ensure residents are content, ranging from providing transportation for medical appointments and groceries to organizing social events and outings, have been recognized and appreciated. It’s also been described as a place with good value for money, especially given its prime location and the comprehensive services offered.

However, a few reviewers shared concerns about ongoing renovations and the condition of certain facilities, suggesting that some parts of the community might feel dated or in need of updates. Additionally, the absence of kitchenettes in some rooms was noted as a downside. Concerns were also raised about the level of staff availability and the impact of this on the quality of care, with one reviewer mentioning a significant theft issue. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers express satisfaction with their decision to choose this community for themselves or their loved ones, underlining the friendly environment, the quality of care, and the extensive range of activities and amenities available.
