Heights Manor 2

Heights Manor 2 sits at 19358 Golfview Drive in Big Rapids, MI, and functions as a small group home with space for up to six residents at a time, and what you get here is a board and care home way of living where people can stay as their needs change, so folks go from independent living to needing more help as time passes, and you kind of notice how they take on seniors who need assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even full medical support all right in the same place with a focus on health, and the care team does provide plenty of help with things like bathing, dressing, getting around, medication, and meal preparation, and if someone needs health care services, they'll get support from the staff that might include 12-16 hour nursing help, a 24-hour call system, and regular supervision while those who need memory care for things like Alzheimer's or dementia have 24-hour support and special programs to help memory, all in a secure unit. You see, this community feels like a home with furnished private or shared rooms, telephones, and a dining room that goes out of its way to serve those with dietary needs, including special diets for allergies and diabetes, and if you want company, there are movie nights, garden walks, a community room, and all sorts of activities most days, which suits someone who doesn't want to feel alone but doesn't want the feeling of a big institution either, and folks get respite care if a caregiver needs a break. The place leans on its home-like feeling, encourages folks to interact with each other, and the caregivers work closely with other health providers so care stays coordinated and plans can be personalized. They handle all the laundry, offer dry cleaning, and set up transportation and parking if needed, and there's always emergency and move-in help available. Heights Manor 2 keeps a watchful eye out for safety, companionship, and a sense of dignity for each person, whether someone just wants light support or round-the-clock nursing, and while it provides help for the aged, the mentally ill, and folks with developmental disabilities, all of this comes in a quiet neighborhood setting, so you don't have to worry about feeling lost in the shuffle, with rates starting at $4,070 a month.
