Green Acres of Mt. Pleasant sits on Remus Road in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, and offers care for about 13 to 20 residents in a small, homelike adult group setting, so you'll find it feels more like a close-knit community than a big facility, and what they do is pretty broad, since they have assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even skilled nursing for those who need 24-hour medical help or rehab after surgeries, along with wound care, and all the usual nursing tasks that come up with older folks. You'll see residents getting help with dressing, bathing, transfers, medication management, and people who need extra help due to diabetes, incontinence, or trouble moving around aren't left out, since there's support for light, medium, and heavier levels of care, plus they're set up for folks who can be behavioral, physically aggressive, or are known to wander or act out, as well as those who need standby or mechanical lift transfers, with an added safety net through emergency alert bracelets and a secured property that uses alarms and staff checks if someone tries to leave, especially in the memory care part, which sits in its own purpose-built building for safety and comfort.
The rooms come in semi-private or one-bedroom apartments, ranging from 430 to 680 square feet, all wheelchair friendly with tubs and roll-in showers, and folks can bring their own furniture or choose furnished options, plus each room has phones, which makes it easier to stay in touch with family, and community spaces are set up both inside and outside, with walking paths, gardens, trees, park benches, and street lights giving it that familiar "neighborhood" look, and both cats and dogs are welcome companions. Residents get all their meals cooked for them, with chefs focusing on healthy, tasty options, including vegetarian, kosher, allergy-sensitive, and diabetic-friendly diets, and the housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help make daily life simpler.
Activities run daily, with on-site and off-site options, so you'll see everything from exercise classes, arts and crafts, gardening, movie nights, worship and devotional services (sometimes offsite), all the way to special vintage car shows and themed parties, and for folks who need to get to appointments or therapy, there's transportation arranged, sometimes at a small extra cost, depending on the ride. The staff is known for being kind, hardworking, and ready to help, with a nurse making home visits as needed, and they take care to work with each person's doctor or care team, especially when it comes to managing health changes, medications, or tricky care needs.
Green Acres of Mt. Pleasant allows folks to use long-term care insurance, veteran benefits, and Medicaid waiver assistance to help with costs, and short-term respite care is available for families who need a break or a temporary plan, so you don't have to look elsewhere if you're taking care of someone at home for most of the year. Technology and alerts help keep everyone safe, and their memory program centers on stimulating activities, special safety features, and routines geared for people with memory troubles-they've really focused on keeping people who wander or get confused protected, while allowing independence when possible. Residents have access to indoor and outdoor common areas, parking, and open, sunlit spaces, which makes it feel comfortable and supports daily routines. Many reviews say staff go above and beyond, and the community's known for its friendly, supportive feel, direct approach to care, and efforts to keep things personal, even when people have tougher health or behavior problems.
