Lee Barnett

Lee Barnett at 131 Lafayette in Hudson, Michigan, is a small senior living community with only six assisted living units, so folks here tend to know each other well. Residents get 24-hour supervision and help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicine, and there's always someone close by in case of an emergency. The care staff coordinates with doctors and helps manage different health needs, including diabetes and Parkinson's, and they also provide dementia care, respite care, and have programs for mental health, trauma, and addiction support. Meals are prepared by a chef and planned with a registered dietitian, with special menus for allergies, diabetes, or other diets, and there's always someone to lend a hand with feeding if needed. The living spaces include studio and one-bedroom suites, plus shared living quarters, all fully furnished and cleaned by the housekeeping staff. Residents can bring cats or dogs if they want and can expect laundry services, move-in help, mail and phone service, wifi, and cable TV, and there's also a flat screen in the movie theater for events and nights when everyone wants to get together. Lee Barnett offers scheduled activities, crafts, movie nights, an arts and crafts room, a garden courtyard, a chapel, walking paths, and a barbershop, so there's usually something going on, and social or recreational programs run just about every day. Staff manage medication, help with personal care and feeding, and keep an eye on folks with non-ambulatory care needs. Transportation and parking are both available for medical appointments, errands, or just a change of scenery. There's an on-site pharmacy and case management, plus mental health services, crisis support, and group or individual therapy. Rooms and common spaces are designed to be wheelchair-friendly, and there's an emergency alert system for peace of mind. Meals, housekeeping, linens, personalized service assessments, and daily activity programs are included in the monthly price, which starts at $3,656. Lee Barnett keeps things focused on care, dignity, social time, and a safe, comfortable environment for seniors.
