Rhema Homes sits at 25 Terrace Ave in Battle Creek, Michigan, and has been set up to help senior adults by providing a mix of assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and board and care home services, so it's the kind of place where someone could start out more independent if that's what they need and then get more help down the road if things change, because folks there can move between levels of care as their needs shift, which is what people mean when they talk about continuing care retirement communities, and they also have regular nursing home support for post-hospital medical needs, wound care, and the hard stuff that needs round-the-clock nurses, and for those living with memory loss, like Alzheimer's or dementia, there's 24-hour support in secured environments along with memory programs made for folks with cognitive impairments, with daily activities aimed at helping keep minds active for as long as possible, and there are board and care homes right in residential neighborhoods where a smaller number of residents get more personal care in a cozy setting, and if someone's looking for something even quieter, some houses only hold four to six seniors at a time.
The community at Rhema Homes includes independent living with maintenance-free options, social activities, and amenities like a fitness center, salon, barbershop, theater room, gardens, and even a cafe, and there are pet-friendly assisted living units, and meals get served in private or shared dining rooms, while housekeeping, laundry, internet, and guest parking all come standard, then you've got little things like snacks, escorted walks around the grounds, computers, and even a game room for recreation, and folks who need help with daily basics, like getting dressed, taking a bath, or moving from bed to chair, find that staff will come up with a care plan after looking at each person's situation.
Rooms tend toward the practical side, with small studios, single-bedroom units, or semi-private options, and there are washers and dryers in the living spaces, full kitchens or kitchenettes, safety features, and cable TV, and those flat screen TVs seem to be in common areas for relaxing as a group, while some homes have a reading area and crafts studio, plus education or health and wellness programs for folks interested in keeping their minds sharp, and the staff handles medication management if needed, also escorting people to activities or appointments on the grounds, and home health care visits can be arranged.
Rhema Homes is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is closed on weekends, and the pricing at Rhema Homes runs from about $2,060 to $8,184 per month depending on services and housing picked, and overall, the place has earned a 5-star rating from two reviews, which shows a good start for those who care about feedback, though information is still a bit thin in places, but it's clear Rhema Homes aims to support older folks in a range of ways while keeping daily life familiar, supported, and home-like as possible, whether they're there for short-term respite or looking for a place to call home for the long haul.
