Golden Grace in West Bloomfield offers both Independent Living and a Residential Care Home environment, delivering medical oversight for residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, remain awake overnight, or manage diabetes with oral medication. The community is also equipped to support advanced dementia and other high-acuity conditions, ensuring residents with complex medical profiles can remain on site rather than transfer to a higher level of care.
Clinical safeguards are reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, comprehensive background checks, awake night-shift coverage, door alarms, wander-guard technology, and a PERS alert system that notifies staff immediately. On-site services span memory care, medication management, diabetic and incontinence care, non-ambulatory and high-acuity support, and access to brain-fitness programs. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained in a wide range of transfers, from standby or one-person help to two-person, Hoyer lift, and bed-bound transfers.
Resident rooms may include a private bathroom, furnished living space, cable service, and routine housekeeping, though not every accommodation has each feature. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping and laundry along with the option of the monthly meal plan, allowing them to choose a lighter service package while still benefiting from the campus’s safety net.
Meals are prepared to order, with snacks always available and in-room dining offered when needed. The kitchen supports gluten-free, mechanical-chop, puréed, thickened-liquid, and vegetarian diets, integrating dietary modifications directly with each resident’s care plan. Independent Living participants who elect the monthly meal plan take their meals in the same dining venues but can still cook independently if they prefer.
Shared amenities include landscaped communal gardens that encourage outdoor activity and a library stocked for quiet reading or small group programs. These areas add low-key social opportunities without requiring residents to leave the property, supporting both Independent Living and higher-needs residents in maintaining daily routines.
