Country Oaks gives seniors a comfortable place to live right in Cadillac, Michigan, and offers both assisted living and memory care in a small, home-like setting licensed for six residents. People get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, and there are round-the-clock staff on duty, including a registered nurse, to provide support and keep an eye on things day and night, even helping with spoon feeding, continence management, and care for Parkinson's disease when it's needed. There are emergency alert systems in every room, and staff stay awake overnight, so help's always nearby. Residents can choose to live in single bedrooms, studio apartments, or share a space in a communal living arrangement, and rooms come fully furnished if that's preferred. The community's pet-friendly, and laundry and housekeeping services keep things tidy.
Meals get served in the dining room, with options to meet special diets like diabetes and allergies, and there's all-day dining set up for people who need flexible mealtimes. Recreational activities fill up the days, like movie nights, gardening, and games in the community rooms, and there's a fitness room and a community kitchen as well as walking paths and a greenhouse, which many people enjoy for a bit of fresh air or to pass the time, especially when family visits. For people who can't drive, transportation and parking are available, and scheduled rides help residents get to medical appointments or run errands. Country Oaks uses color cues to help with memory and has a gentle setting to encourage abilities and social time with friends. Staff speak English, but they can often help with other languages too.
Country Oaks provides dementia and memory care, can arrange hospice support if a resident needs it, and sometimes offers respite care for a short stay. They work with families to move people in smoothly and keep up with routine health assessments and coordination with healthcare providers. Board and care home services help cover more complex needs, and there's attention to special diets and coordination with medical staff to make sure people stay healthy, plus an on-site pharmacy for convenience. Residents get plenty of opportunities to socialize, get outdoors, and enjoy life in a setting that feels more like a home than a big institution, with a small community and personal approach that fits seniors who want support and company.
