Donna's Elderly Care Centre

Donna's Elderly Care Centre sits in New Buffalo, Michigan, at 19688 Ash Court, and it's a small assisted living facility licensed for 1 to 6 residents, with 4 licensed beds available, making it easier for staff to pay close attention to each person's care plan and daily needs, and the board and care home setting means residents can expect a more personal environment than what you find in larger places, with a big focus on both independence and daily support for those who want a little extra help. The centre gives help with bathing, dressing, hygiene, toileting, transfers, and incontinence care, and it manages medication along with regular health checks, so folks needing support for diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and conditions like Parkinson's disease get what they need, plus assistance is around the clock with an on-call nurse day and night, which helps families feel more at ease. The home has private ADA-compliant bathrooms, one-bedroom suites, and well-equipped studio units, all fully furnished, with pull cords for extra safety and an emergency alert system as well, and there's help with moving in if that's needed. Dining is managed by skilled chefs and planners to make sure every meal is healthy and tasty, serving three meals a day plus snacks with special menu options for people needing diet adjustments, including diabetic and pureed foods, and folks can enjoy meals in spacious private dining rooms or join others if they like. Donna's Elderly Care Centre offers all utilities, cable, phone, WiFi, and even a traveling barber or stylist for convenience. For fun and social time, the centre fills the calendar with daily scheduled events, devotional activities, movie nights, exercise programs, music plans, and creative projects, while full-time activity directors keep everyone engaged and try out things like music therapy, pet therapy, tabletop games, and outings in the community, even field trips and faith-based trips for those who want to go out. Amenities include a book room, a hot tub, steam room, a health area, walking trails, decks, garden spaces, game rooms, a beauty/barbershop, a large library, and a theater, so residents can find plenty to do whether they want quiet time or socializing. There's also transportation to doctor appointments, errands, and activities, and staff offer a special concierge service with move-in help and scheduled transportation, along with support for unscheduled needs. Housekeeping, laundry, meal service, and linen changing take chores off residents' plates so they can focus on what they enjoy, and security is a main concern, with the building and operations set up for resident safety, including online security for any web activities folks decide to join. The staff show a friendly attitude and a strong sense of kindness, which creates a warm environment and a culture where respect and empathy are expected of everyone, and the small size keeps things personal, with activities and care centered around each individual's story and preferences, aiming to help everyone feel at home. The centre accepts private pay starting at $3,692 per month and isn't Medicare certified unless noted by federal authorities. Services are regulated by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, and the community offers independent living, assisted living, board and care, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, respite and hospice care, and even sends staff for home care support if someone prefers to stay in their own home for as long as possible. Donna's Elderly Care Centre tries to make life better for seniors in a safe, friendly setting, focusing on daily comforts, strong support, and simple living-without overpromising-right there in a quiet corner of New Buffalo.
