Boardman Lake Glens: Brigadoon

Boardman Lake Glens: Brigadoon sits in Traverse City, MI, right off Brigadoon Court, and is a licensed senior living community that offers assisted living and memory care, so folks here get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and medication management at all hours, day or night, with a 24-hour call system to help keep residents safe, and you've also got people around if you need them for medical appointments or talking about your care with outside providers. The rooms come fully furnished, and residents get a telephone, cable or satellite TV, and access to high-speed internet, and there's a little kitchenette if you want to fix your own food though meal prep and service is already provided, even for those who need special diets, like for diabetes. There's indoor common areas for socializing and an arts room, plus scheduled daily activities, community events, and get-togethers arranged by residents themselves. You'll find people heading out to the outdoor garden or walking paths when the weather's nice, and there's movie nights and devotional activities offsite. The place has a beauty salon and barber on the grounds for grooming, and staff can help arrange transportation to your doctor or for other needs. Brigadoon is also equipped with services like laundry, housekeeping, and move-in coordination, which helps new residents get settled. The community is under the care of Kim Bauml, who's been involved with senior care locally, and the staff provides compassionate support with an understanding of aging needs. Brigadoon connects with Options for Senior Living, so families can get advice on downsizing, eldercare lawyers, or home care benefits, and they do work to match seniors with care fitting both their health and their wallet. The whole setup is built to support people who want both safety and opportunities to be active or independent, with supervision and help as needed, and the place is part of the larger Grand Traverse County group of senior communities.
