Westhaven Manor in Westland, MI, offers an Independent Living setting designed for residents who are largely self-reliant but want predictable access to health services. Oxygen support is available for those who need it, and an on-site nurse coordinates with a podiatrist and hospice team to address ongoing or emergent health concerns. Medication Management is provided daily, ensuring prescriptions are filled, stored, and taken as ordered. While the community does not specialize in dementia care, it does maintain medical monitoring consistent with the needs of independent residents who may have changing health profiles but don’t require a secured memory unit.
Residents who want help with day-to-day tasks can receive hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating, all delivered on a self-care, as-needed basis. Transfers are supported for individuals who use walkers or wheelchairs, and an Activity Director plans routines that encourage mobility and social engagement. The combination of scheduled wellness oversight and flexible personal support allows residents to remain in Independent Living longer without moving to a higher level of care.
Apartments can be personalized; residents are permitted to paint or decorate their spaces to suit individual tastes. Some units include wider doorways or additional safety features, although not every accommodation has every upgrade, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts during a tour. Weekly housekeeping for Independent Living is standard, and maintenance requests are handled by on-site staff, reducing the need for outside contractors.
Dining operates on an on-order system, letting residents choose meals that match personal schedules and dietary needs rather than fixed seating times. A Monthly Meal Plan is available for Independent Living, ensuring cost predictability while giving the option to add or skip meals as desired. Independent residents who take part in Medication Management Monitoring can have their dietary restrictions communicated directly to dining staff, streamlining coordination between health and nutrition services.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a movie room, reliable internet access, and a library for quiet reading or computer use. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
