AFC Walnut St sits at 417 Walnut St in Kalkaska, Michigan, and has room for up to 12 seniors in its assisted living setting, and what stands out is the small, home-like feel where staff really know the residents and try to make everyone feel like they belong, and there's plenty of supervision with support around the clock, so residents can get help when they need it, whether that's assistance with bathing, getting dressed, or remembering to take medication, and the staff help people maintain their dignity and independence as best they can. The facility provides personal care tuned to each person, and cares for seniors who need memory care as well as skilled nursing support, and it also offers programs for people dealing with addiction, outpatient therapy, as well as dedicated help with adult mental health needs, psychiatric and therapeutic care. The residential building is safe and designed for easy access, and there's a supportive atmosphere meant to help seniors feel comfortable while staying as healthy as possible, and people can get help with chores and personal care every day, and there are activities meant to keep people socially engaged and feeling part of a community. The license number here is AM400282377, and with only 12 units, the facility stays small enough so residents get attention tailored to their needs, covering regular elder care, mental health, and addiction recovery, all in one setting where staff try to keep a calm and nurturing environment for those who live there.
Unsafe filthy facility, untrained staff
I lived here and it was unsafe and filthy - dirty rooms and bathrooms, poor meals not prepared to Safe Serve standards, and a run-down facility. Staff were untrained, often absent or slow (I saw one caregiver for 11 residents), meds were expired/missing, a resident fell with a head injury and dementia patient wandered off, and promised transport/surgery support was unreliable - I would not recommend.
