Flatrock Manor of Fenton is an assisted living facility in Michigan that's part of a bigger network called Flatrock Manor, with other places in Fenton and Flint, like Flatrock Manor of Fenton South and Flatrock Manor of Flint Township South, and since 2019, it's been accredited by CARF International, which is a nonprofit group that looks at health and human services to see if they meet certain standards, and they can give programs a three-year accreditation, which covers things like Aging Services, Behavioral Health, Child & Youth Services, Employment & Community Services, Medical Rehabilitation, Opioid Treatment Programs, and Vision Rehabilitation Services, so they've got experience in a lot of care areas including mental health and recovery since they're also tied to MI Recovery and offer substance use treatment.
Residents live in private bedrooms with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, and everything's wheelchair accessible with extra safety features like alarmed doors and shatterproof glass, plus they have things like sensory rooms for quiet time, game rooms, nature trails, trampolines, swimming pools, community houses, and special activities like movie nights, holiday decorating, summer barbecues, trips to water parks, and even an annual resident prom, so there's a lot to do. There's always staff around 24 hours, and the team includes people like the CEO, Community Support Advocates, and Direct Care Workers, and they have on-call health teams for medical and mental health help any time, along with counseling, occupational therapy, and case management, so people get help with what they need, when they need it, plus they make personal behavioral plans for each resident.
The building is set up for seniors who need help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or using a wheelchair, and there's a 24-hour call system, a call alert system, and special help for transferring, mobility, and medication, and the community tries to feel like a big family working to help everyone stay as independent and happy as possible. Residents can use a garden, walking paths, a salon and barber shop, an arts room, watch movies, join resident-run activities, and get transportation if needed, and the rooms come furnished, with telephones, and there are housekeepers, laundry service, and someone to help with settling in on move-in day.
Dietary needs get attention, because they offer plans for people with allergies or diabetes, and there's meal service all day, either in the dining room or wherever's comfortable, and they coordinate with healthcare providers for any specific medical needs, so residents get care that fits their routine. The facility doesn't provide every detail about every program or exact amenities at this Fenton location, but the bigger network focuses on safety and standards, especially for people with developmental disabilities or mental health needs, and they keep up with reviews and certification from CARF International to make sure they're doing things right.
