Blessed Home Afc sits in Niles, Michigan, offering care in a calm, home-like setting where folks can pick from single bedrooms, shared rooms, or practical studio apartments, and each unit comes furnished and usually with its own bathroom and kitchenette, so you can keep things a bit more private if you like, and they help with all sorts of things like bathing, getting dressed, taking medicine, and even getting in or out of bed, which really helps folks who aren't moving as well as they'd like. They've set up support for people living with Parkinson's or dementia, with memory care programs, and staff staying up and alert round the clock, and there's always a call system ready if someone gets into trouble or needs help quick.
Meals come three times a day, made from quality, often organic ingredients, with staff paying attention to allergies or diabetes and folks can eat in a big dining room or in private if they'd rather, and there's a bistro and a private dining room for special occasions or quieter meals, so people can choose what suits them best. They run activities every day-bingo, art and crafts, movies, fitness classes, games, even gardening in outdoor spaces or group outings when the weather's nice-trying to keep folks busy, connected, and feeling at home, and they even have a chapel for anyone who wants devotional time.
Cats and dogs can join, so folks don't have to leave a pet behind, and for those with more pressing medical needs, Blessed Home Afc can take care of wound care and rehab, offer support right after surgery, help with transfers for people who are non-ambulatory, and even manage diabetes and incontinence needs, plus a nurse or aide is there at all hours. They help arrange rides for doctor's visits or shopping, provide housecleaning and laundry, take care of all the basic utilities and internet, and even give people access to computers if you want to check email or chat with family. There's a library area, games room, a barber and beauty salon, an arts room, wellness programs, and a safe outdoor deck if you want to sit outside. Blessed Home Afc has space for 20 residents, which keeps the place smaller and maybe easier to get to know the other folks living there. They're licensed in Michigan as an Adult Foster Care Home, and their staff follows all the rules for safety and medical care, paying attention to the kind of care each person needs, updating personalized care plans when health changes. And if family caregivers need a break, they offer respite care too, which is a relief for a lot of folks.
