Golden Years in Muskegon offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Residential Care Home options, allowing residents to move between levels of support without leaving the community. The team can manage a wide range of medical needs, including behavioral issues, nighttime wakefulness, complex wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes management whether residents are on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community is also equipped to support adults under the age of 60 and those living with advanced dementia.
Extensive clinical oversight underpins daily life. An RN or LPN is on staff with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, complemented by an awake night-shift team. Door alarms, fenced front and rear areas, and in-room pull cords help keep residents secure while allowing appropriate freedom of movement. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to two-person lifts, accommodating walkers and wheelchairs.
Accommodations include furnished suites, some with private bathrooms and cable service. While each room is designed for safety and ease of mobility, features vary by unit, so prospective residents should confirm which amenities are included in the specific apartment they are considering.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to support physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or other modified plans, and snacks are available throughout the day. Staff monitor nutritional intake closely, stepping in with full assistance when needed to ensure residents maintain proper hydration and caloric balance.
Residents can spend time in the communal gardens, connect online through the facility’s internet access, and take advantage of wheelchair-accessible indoor and outdoor spaces. Scheduled transportation helps with medical appointments and local errands, and smoking is permitted outdoors in designated areas.
