Orchard Creek Skilled Nursing

Orchard Creek Skilled Nursing sits at 9731 E. Cherry Bend Rd., Traverse City, MI, right near Munson Medical Center and downtown Traverse City, which makes it easy for residents and families to get to, and folks've said it's privately owned and has been running since 1995. The community focuses on memory care for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, and there's a strong team of highly trained staff, including 24-hour licensed nursing care and a high staff-to-resident ratio, which helps make sure everyone gets the help they need. There are 22 private rooms here, and each one feels homey with its own bathroom, television, phone, and wireless internet, and sometimes the apartments in the senior living area have private balconies or even gas fireplaces, which sounds real cozy. Orchard Creek covers a full continuum of care, running everything from independent living and assisted living to skilled nursing, intensive short-term rehabilitation, and long-term supportive care, also offering outpatient rehabilitation for folks who aren't staying full-time, and they've got physical, occupational, and speech therapy services, plus an on-site aquatic therapy pool that can help with recovery and exercise. The facility has a Life Enrichment Coordinator who organizes group and individual activities to help keep residents active and social, and there's medication management, wound care, respiratory therapy, and psychosocial support as well. Assisted living services offer studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments where all meals, housekeeping, laundry, and medication management are included, and for people who need more support than assisted living, there's a licensed adult foster care residence offering supportive care. Orchard Creek's been known for a holistic approach, meaning they look at physical, emotional, and social needs, and the environment aims to be comfortable and secure for everyone, whether someone's staying for a short time to recover or making it their long-term home.
