Borgess Gardens sits in Kalamazoo, MI, and offers a comfortable place for seniors who need different levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and short-term rehabilitation, so if someone needs help after a surgery or illness, they can get skilled care right here with 12-16 hour nursing services each day, plus a 24-hour call system for safety, and for peace of mind there's always staff watching over the residents so help is always close. The community has private suites and shared rooms, each fully furnished, with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephones, cable TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi, which means everyone has a space that feels like home and all the essentials are easy to reach. Residents have choices when it comes to meals, like eating in the community dining room or picking restaurant-style food with options for allergies and diabetic diets, and a professional chef makes meals fresh around the clock, so there's always food to suit everyone's diet.
Borgess Gardens provides daily comforts like housekeeping, linen service, and laundry, and they help people move in, too, so the transition's easier. Staff make sure to help with whatever residents need, such as bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or moving from a chair to a bed, and they're trained to care for both people who can walk on their own and those who can't, so even those with serious medical needs get attention since the team includes licensed nurses, doctors, nursing assistants, and physical therapists. For those who need more care, there are non-ambulatory and high-level skilled care services, and many residents stay for long-term care, but short stays for rehab are also available, so there's flexibility depending on what someone needs. The community has an easy transportation program to clinics or doctor's appointments, plenty of parking, and safe supervision to prevent wandering, which is important, especially for people at risk of getting lost.
Amenities in Borgess Gardens include a garden that's carefully maintained, outdoor walking paths, common spaces outside, and indoors you'll find a movie theater, fitness room, wellness room, sauna, spa, arts room, game room, music programs, and community room, so there's always a way to relax or keep busy. Residents join in activities planned by the staff, like art, music, games, and gardening, along with daily and seasonal programs inside and out, which helps everyone stay connected and active. There are resident and family councils where people can speak up about concerns or ideas to improve daily life. Borgess Gardens is a part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people can move between different levels of care as their needs change over time, and their medical coverage accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. Staff aim to give good, compassionate, and personal care so residents can keep or improve their physical and mental health, and the whole place is designed to make life easier while giving people support every step of the way.
