The Gilbert Residence in Ypsilanti provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in one community even as their needs change. Clinical oversight covers wandering behaviors during day or night, elopement risks, behavioral issues, and residents who are up all night. Specialized dietary monitoring is available for individuals on oral diabetic medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens, and the community accepts residents with advanced dementia diagnoses.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours, awake night staff, background-checked employees, door alarms, personal emergency response systems, and round-the-clock security. Residents have regular access to visiting podiatry, audiology, dental professionals, a therapy room, and pharmacy services. Personal care assistance includes full help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus standby supervision for eating. Mobility support ranges from simple walker aid to two-person transfers and bed-bound care.
Apartments can be furnished or unfurnished and may offer private bathrooms, cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry, although not every unit includes every feature. Maintenance and utilities are handled by the community, relieving residents of household chores and repairs.
Meals follow a rotating set menu with an option to order alternative selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, and in-room dining is offered when needed. The kitchen team accommodates doctor-ordered diets, mechanical-chopped and puréed meals, and vegetarian preferences.
Community amenities include wheelchair access throughout the building, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, landscaped communal gardens, a library, and a putting green.
