Pleasantry Living sits on Eastwood Drive in Harper Woods and has a calm community feel, where seniors live as independently as they can but still get help when it's needed, and the staff keeps a close eye on everyone around the clock. The place helps seniors who need assisted living, skilled nursing, and even has a part just for memory care, which is in a safe building with alarms and guarded doors, so residents with Alzheimer's or dementia won't wander off, and the staff uses bracelets and a wand alert system to keep track of anyone who tries to leave, making it easier for everyone to relax a little more. The facility has a state license and offers different kinds of living spaces, from single private rooms with their own bathrooms and showers that wheelchairs can fit in, to cozy semi-private rooms in a small adult foster care home with only six beds-so it's a quieter atmosphere compared to big buildings. They've got a backyard where people can go out for fresh air, plenty of open spaces to sit inside, and community areas for people to talk or do activities together, and they'll keep everything clean with laundry, linen service, and housekeeping included.
Nutritious meals get prepared by a dedicated cook, and there are always snacks on hand. Staff help with all sorts of care, whether someone needs medication reminders, insulin shots, incontinence help, or just a hand with getting dressed and washed up, and the nurses do regular checks. For folks who need help getting up or moving around, there's both stand-by and lift transfers available, and the building's easy to move through if you use a wheelchair or walker. Seniors with medical needs get help with things like wound care, diabetic care, and therapy visits can even be arranged in house. Activities aren't just thrown together-there's a full-time director planning them out, from easy exercise and games on-site, to field trips and outings out in the community, with transportation options for appointments or shopping, both free and paid. Social activities keep everyone busy, and people who want to keep their cats or dogs are allowed to bring them along.
Visitors can stay as overnight guests when needed, and there are guest meal services, too. Staff arrange spiritual care with devotional times, plus onsite beauty salon options for hair and grooming. If a family needs some short-term help, the respite care program can take care of a loved one for a few days or weeks. The facility accepts residents prone to wandering and those who might have more challenging behaviors, and the security system works around the clock. Mail gets organized, and there's cable TV, internet, and phones in the rooms so everyone can feel comfortable and keep in touch.
Memory care is a big focus here, with specialized activities to help keep minds active and programs tailored for folks with dementia, all in a secured part of the property made for safety and comfort. Independent seniors have the option for maintenance-free living if they want it, with resort-style perks and a homey dining area. Overall the place tries to offer different levels of support, from folks just needing a bit of help all the way to those with more complex medical or memory care needs, so people can stay as their needs change, and families have access to plenty of photos and clear information before moving in. The staff aims to give each person support, comfort, good food, and a sense of belonging without being too busy or overwhelming, and every part of the building is meant to be both safe and welcoming.
