Orchard Creek Senior Living And Health Care

Orchard Creek Senior Living and Health Care sits on East Cherry Bend Road in Traverse City, Michigan, close to Munson Medical Center, and offers a wide mix of services, so folks can find the help they need as they age, all in the same place, whether they're looking for independent living, assisted living, supportive care with more services than regular assisted living, or even skilled nursing and rehabilitation, all under the Orchard Creek Health Care network. The campus is privately owned and holds several names depending on the care offered, such as Orchard Creek Skilled Nursing & Rehab, which has just 22 beds for those needing intensive short-term or long-term rehab, and Orchard Creek Supportive Care, which is a licensed Adult Foster Care residence for people who need more help each day, and there's also Orchard Creek Assisted Living with studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments where meals, laundry, housekeeping, and medication management come with the room, and those who are a bit more independent might like the Senior Apartments with things like kitchens and, in some, even gas fireplaces and balconies. The staff includes specific contact people for each care type, such as Liz Leavey, LPN for assisted living and Jenee Asper, RN for supportive care, so residents and families know who to turn to. The place has a special focus on dementia and Alzheimer's care, so those who need memory support can get care from people who know how to help, too, and there are programs for both long-term and short stays, depending on how much help someone needs after a hospital stay or if they're not able to be on their own at home anymore. Residents can get help with technology needs like internet, cable, special cell phones, and hearing aids, and safety features include home security, medication dispensers, ID theft protection, and medical alert systems, plus reviews and guides for using those alerts like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT. There's help on hand for daily care, access to transportation, caregiver support, and therapy services, alongside features like social activities and community spaces meant to help folks connect with each other and stay engaged, with an emphasis on privacy and independence, while keeping health and safety in mind. The whole place is managed by Mr. Dale Chilcote as administrator and Mr. Richard Meyer as owner, with regular hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Orchard Creek isn't BBB accredited but does have a listing with the bureau, and over the years has aimed to keep seniors comfortable while offering every level of care in one location, so a person can stay in the community if their needs change.
