Optalis Health & Rehabilitation of Canton sits off I-275 on North Lilley Road and holds about 94 residents each day on average, with room for up to 150. The place brings together many choices like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care, short-term rehab, long-term care, and even respite and hospice care when people need them, and over the years, they've gone by names like Cranberry Park for their assisted living and memory care options in places like Clio, Milford, Grand Rapids, ShorePointe, and West Bloomfield too, so their reach goes beyond just Michigan with connections in Ohio as well. Staff there includes nurses, therapists, and aides trained in different types of care such as wound care, medication management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and they've got both inpatient and outpatient therapy programs-including customized therapy and state-of-the-art therapy gyms-with admission through a patient registration process. The team, which the facility calls a service delivery team, does their best to make sure everyone living there feels looked after with risk management, outcome tracking, compliance and quality checks, recruitment, and ongoing education for their clinical staff.
The facility puts an emphasis on comfort and trying to make everything as homelike as possible, offering rooms that are private or semi-private, having lounges and activity rooms, TVs, internet, in-room phones, and even chef-prepared meals with options for special diets, plus they take managed care plans, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid. Housekeeping, laundry, and dining are handled on-site, and social life is encouraged through a structured calendar of events, clubs, educational activities, and social dining. Residents can visit with friends and family both virtually and through window visits, and there are COVID-19 vaccine clinics and booster shots for safety. Memory Care gets its own focused services, and veterans will find that the place is set up as a preferred provider for them. The community has some locations like Abbyshire, Arlington Court, and Avia Senior Living Center, which are geared toward special needs like memory care or hospice, and uses specialized equipment for therapy and rehab.
Inspection records show the facility has had some challenges in the past, including infection control problems and issues with protecting residents' rights and belongings, along with a higher nurse turnover rate than the state average-71.3% compared to a 46.9% state average-though they report more nurse hours per resident each day than many others, about 4.25 hours. Still, staff keep working to improve things through clinical excellence programs, team transitions, and reviewing outcomes and quality standards. Overall, Optalis Health & Rehabilitation of Canton tries to provide a full range of senior care choices with a focus on safety, rehabilitation, and helping residents get as much enjoyment and comfort from each day as possible, offering amenities and programs to make living there as pleasant and safe as they can.
