Westbrook Home in Bronson, Michigan, is a licensed Adult Large Group Home with space for 16 residents and offers care for seniors who need support with daily life or long-term care. The home has one-bedroom units, studios, semi-private and shared rooms, all fully furnished, with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, internet, and phone service, and residents can use laundry facilities on site. There's a 24-hour emergency call system and supervision, staff always stay awake and nearby, medication management goes on around the clock, and a registered nurse does health checkups and health monitoring for everyone living there, which brings a lot of people peace of mind. Staff help with bathing, dressing, eating-including manual feeding if needed-and they handle moving aid and help with transfers, which is important as folks get older or if they have Parkinson's disease or memory problems.
The facility cares for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, diabetes, Parkinson's, and other chronic conditions, and offers specialized help for those with memory issues or incontinence, as well as speech and occupational therapy. Westbrook Home also serves people with intellectual or developmental disabilities and mental health needs, focusing on dignity, respect, and each resident's personal routine. There are gardens, walking paths, a greenhouse, and an outdoor sitting area, and you'll find a barber shop, hair salon, library, computer access, game room, arts room, and a spot for chapel services. There's always something going on, whether it's community activities, movie nights, crafts, daily entertainment, or programs designed for people to grow and connect, and anyone who likes quieter activities can use the reading section.
Meals use organic food and ingredients and the chef can adjust to special diets, like for diabetes or other restrictions, and there are all-day snacks and a cafe, so folks can enjoy fresh food when they want without worrying about cooking or cleaning up. Housekeeping, linen, dusting, and vacuuming come with the room, leaving residents with maintenance-free living. Bathing reminders and personal needs services are available, and case management and home health services coordinate with outside healthcare providers. There's transportation to doctor appointments or errands, and move-in help to get folks settled with ease. Active fall prevention measures, full safety features, secured premises, and bathroom reminders add another layer of care for everyone, especially those prone to memory loss or mobility issues.
Westbrook Home is close to pharmacies, healthcare, and local worship centers in Branch County and the Sturgis area, forming part of a network of senior care options that include adult foster care and other group homes. The building feels home-like, with a nurturing environment where staff aim for people to be comfortable and independent as much as possible, yet always ready to help. Living and care options range from assisted living, residential care, and memory care to support for chronic conditions, so both residents needing a little help and those requiring more attention can find a place here. Employment goes to caregivers with experience-CNAs, LPNs, LVNs, and RNs all work in the building. Westbrook Home stays focused on keeping seniors safe, active, and cared for, accepting private pay and residents who require non-acute services, but it doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
