Heritage Assisted Living in Battle Creek delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as health needs change. The team is prepared for residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit exit-seeking or combative behaviors, stay awake overnight, or require specialized wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetic management—including oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Staff also accepts adults under 60 and supports advanced dementia conditions, so families with complex medical or behavioral concerns can keep loved ones in a familiar setting.
Clinical coverage is strengthened by an RN or LPN on staff, a 24-hour nurse on site, and an awake night shift that responds through a PERS alert system. On-site services range from ambulatory and non-ambulatory care to medication management, skilled nursing, hospice coordination, and regular visits from physical, occupational, and speech therapists as well as a podiatrist. Residents receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team manages transfers spanning walker use, wheelchair assistance, one-person or two-person help, Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound care. This breadth of support lets residents age in place with minimal disruption.
Private suites are offered, some featuring a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Housekeeping and laundry are provided, and staff maintain rooms to clinical standards. Because floor plans vary, families should confirm which specific features are included in the suite they select.
Meals are prepared by the culinary staff on a set menu, but residents can also order alternatives at mealtime. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications, including diabetic, low-sodium, and texture-modified options.
Residents have access to onsite parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, internet connectivity, communal gardens, a library, billiards, a fire pit, a spa room, and scheduled religious services. Transportation is provided for medical appointments through a community shuttle.
