New Light Nursing Home

New Light Nursing Home sits in Detroit, MI, and is a non-profit church-related nursing home designed for seniors who need more help than what they'd get at home but don't need to be in the hospital, and with an intermediate level of care, residents get help with daily activities like bathing, meals, and taking medicine, and there are also nurses around the clock to watch over folks, so there's always help if something comes up, and while the place provides long-term care for the frail or very ill, it also supports short-term stays for folks recovering from surgery or illness, and for those needing a rest from home care, there's respite care too. The staff provides about 1.37 hours of care per resident each day, which includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants, and there's a focus on keeping everyone safe and checking for things like pressure sores or problems moving around, and medical care covers a lot, from wound care and therapy (like physical, speech, and occupational) to dialysis, dental, podiatry, eye care, and the home even conducts hearing evaluations, and there's support for those who need memory care with 24-hour monitoring and specialized programs. Meals are planned by a dietitian approved by the American Dietary Association, so residents get nutritious food, and the community checks on vaccinations for things like flu and pneumonia, though not everyone's been vaccinated. The building holds 150 certified beds and about 108 residents at this time, and the occupancy rate is 72%, with the facility partially sprinklered for safety. The home isn't a continuing care facility, isn't inside a hospital, and operates alone, so there's no big company owning multiple nursing homes. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted for payment, and there are both resident and family councils giving feedback. They've got support for folks with chronic disease or mental health issues, and medical services also include IV therapy, lab and X-ray, pharmacy, and regular health checks. New Light Nursing Home isn't a Special Focus Facility, and it meets general quality and nurse staffing standards, so families know the level of care stays about the same. Amenities support comfort, like resort-style activities and maintenance-free living, but the focus really stays on steady care, medical services, and having people around to help when needed, and folks can settle in here for either a short recovery or for living out their days with care they can count on.
