Heatherton Place LLC sits on Orion Road in Oakland Township, close to the Paint Creek Trail, and it's surrounded by woods and fields, so folks see nature right out their windows, and there's always a calm feeling around. The place takes up to six residents at a time, so it never feels crowded, and caregivers know everyone by name, which helps people feel more at home. Heatherton Place uses a family home setting, and the licensed staff provide 24-hour supervision as well as personal care help-like bathing, dressing, and getting to meals, and then there's medication management if anyone needs it. There's a focus on long-term care and support for seniors who can't live alone anymore, including memory care and high acuity care, and diabetic help if people need it.
Each bedroom suite is cozy and has a private bathroom, so you don't have to share with anybody else, and rooms can come fully furnished if you want them that way, plus private baths are wheelchair accessible. The meals here are cooked fresh in the house kitchen with an eye on special diets, including vegetarian choices and diabetic-friendly foods, and they serve these meals in a shared dining space to help people connect. There are also specialty activities to keep busy-like devotional programs, games, and trips off-site-which aim to help residents stay active in body and mind, and regular outdoor spaces where folks visit or sit quietly, along with comfy indoor common areas too.
Heatherton Place lets people bring smaller pets, as long as they meet the weight rules, so that's nice for people who don't want to give up a pet. The staff helps with getting to doctor visits and will arrange rides to medical appointments. They offer speech and occupational therapies, and there's an in-house physician who can look in on folks when needed. Housekeeping, clean linens, and laundry are provided on a routine basis, so residents don't have to worry about tidying up or doing their own laundry, and there are move-in services to help people get settled. Cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone lines are available in the rooms, so people can stay connected with family or watch their shows. Heatherton Place LLC provides respite care for when short-term help is needed, and there's always support for daily living tasks and medication organization. The place stays a state-licensed adult small group home with no more than six residents at a time, which keeps the place from feeling noisy or impersonal, and it's known for its personal approach within a secure and home-like setting. The facility doesn't accept Medicare and isn't CMS certified, but the fees are usually lower than those found in big nursing homes.
