Westgate Nursing, Rehabilitaion and Assisted Living

Westgate Nursing, Rehabilitation and Assisted Living in Ironwood, Michigan, gives care for older adults and people who need to recover from illness or injury, with services set up for different health and independence levels. The community has dedicated spaces for assisted living and memory care, along with apartments that are roomy and comfortable, plus helpful amenities outdoors and indoors, and there always seems to be something going on, whether it's bingo, gardening, outings on boats, religious services, or even volleyball and entertainment. Nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living all take place in one place so folks don't have to move around if they need more care, including long-term care at Park Manor, which is a skilled nursing facility, and at Waterford at Park Falls, where assisted living and memory care take place, and respite care is available for temporary needs, so you can stay short or long-term and even pay through Medicaid or private pay. The staff here, including nurses, therapists, nutrition, maintenance, and housekeeping folks, all work together in a team approach to bring care, kindness, and dignity, with support for both clinical and everyday needs; people with Alzheimer's or dementia can get special monitoring and care, and health evaluations come from licensed nurses keeping an eye on everyone's well-being. Westgate offers therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy on top of intravenous therapies, respiratory therapy, and even pet therapy, plus restorative nursing keeps going after formal therapy stops, to help maintain progress. People get help with daily chores-things like bathing, grooming, hygiene, laundry, and keeping their homes tidy-and can get a ride for errands or shopping too, with in-house pharmacy and lab services, as well as podiatry and wound care, on hand. The feeling is more home-like than medical, with a focus on community, respect, and maintaining connections, and there're regulatory and training programs for the staff, including the Certified Assisted Living Director (CALD) program and support from the Assisted Living Board. Westgate is open 24 hours for round-the-clock help, always aiming to provide both medical and non-medical care under Avanti Health Systems, creating an environment where comfort, safety, and meaningful daily activity all come together for the people who live there.
