Pleasant Lake Assisted Living sits along Pleasant Lake with 100 feet of lake frontage, a peaceful spot where folks can see the water and enjoy the gardens and walking paths outside, and the home has a tri-level design with ramps, an elevator, and full bath access for those who need it, so getting around is easier for folks using walkers or wheelchairs. The place has both indoor and outdoor areas where people can visit, enjoy crafts, games, and group activities, or just sit by the fireplace in the Great Room. People can share meals in a roomy dining space or eat in their own rooms, and meals are prepared to support different dietary needs, whether someone has allergies, health concerns like diabetes, or needs their food cut up a certain way.
There are private and semi-private rooms, furnished for comfort, some with walk-in closets and water views. The home handles all housekeeping and laundry, so people don't need to worry about chores, and there's a laundry room, breezeway, and even a Mother-in-Law apartment with a private entrance. Bedrooms are carpeted for comfort, and the house has hardwood and wood flooring in other spaces, with both above and below ground levels finished for use-there's even a basement with walk-out access and a full bath there. For heating and cooling, the house uses central air and forced air gas, and the kitchen comes with appliances like a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and washer/dryer for daily needs, and everything runs off a Generac home generator in case the power goes out.
Pets are important here, so the home lets residents keep cats and small-to-medium dogs and can help take care of them too. Staff keep watch 24 hours a day, offering help with bathing, dressing, medication management, diabetes care, and the kinds of complex care some people need, along with incontinence care and high acuity nursing, always working to coordinate with healthcare providers whenever someone's care plan needs updates or changes. When new residents move in, there's help with settling in, and if something happens, there's an emergency alert system to keep everyone safe.
It's licensed as both Adult Foster Care and Board and Care, able to care for up to 5 or 6 residents, which means things feel homier and quieter than in big buildings with dozens of people, and the home serves people who are older, living with disability, or facing mental health challenges. Community events, daily scheduled activities, outings with transportation, and access to both the outdoors and shared rooms like the dining and community rooms help people stay connected and active in daily life. The home's main goal is to help people keep their independence, but also make sure they're well cared for, and that their daily needs, both physical and emotional, are respected and met. Right now, Pleasant Lake Assisted Living is closed as of September 16, 2024.
