Durand Senior Care & Rehab Center sits over 50,000 square feet on Monroe Road in Durand, Michigan, where folks can find more than 150 beds and a small-town, family-style atmosphere. The community stays open every hour of every day, and staff know how to help older adults in many ways, since they're trained in geriatric care, rehabilitation, and long-term support, and that helps residents get the care they need for both the short and long haul. This private-owned, NexCare-managed skilled nursing facility has nurses and support staff who focus on personalized, resident-centered care, and everyone there makes a point to treat residents with dignity and respect. You'll see people speaking mostly English, but some staff can speak other languages too, and the center's made sure they have services and programs to serve lots of elder care needs, like long-term and short-term nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as well as specialized memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, plus respite care and wound management.
Some people need medication management, skilled nursing, or intermediate care, and others might come for help with ambulation or even just regular housekeeping and dietary services, and you can tell they tried to cover the basics by including home care and hospice services through nearby providers, though that means residents needing end-of-life care can still stay connected to outside help if needed. Around the building, you'll notice private suites, family-style dining rooms, kitchens, lounges, beauty shops, meditation rooms, and modern equipment in the rehab section-ranging from electric exercise bikes and parallel bars to traction gear, hydroculator hot packs, paraffin, sitz baths, and steam baths. Activities for daily living get special attention, and there's always a variety of daily and off-site activities for those able to join, with spiritual support services offered too. Residents can find both long-term placements and short-term rehab stays here-or even drop in for respite visits when family caregivers need a break-but right now, they aren't accepting new patients, so anyone interested in future openings needs to call to ask about it.
Insurance doesn't tend to be a problem since Durand Senior Care & Rehab Center works with all major plans, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Medicaid, and Medicare, which can lift a worry off some folks' shoulders. The staff manage medications, take care of wound issues, offer assisted living medication management, and help with activities that keep residents' minds and bodies working as best they can. The whole place keeps its focus on rehab, long-term care, and giving memory care support when needed, and while the setting is updated and comfortable, it keeps a small-town feel that some people might like if they're used to that in daily life.
