Old Farm Living Ctr

Old Farm Living Ctr in Berrien Springs, MI, sat right in a quiet spot with room for up to 6 residents and always felt like a small, close-knit home, so anyone moving in would probably notice the personal attention and the homey atmosphere right as they walked in, because you could see the decorated suites and folks gathering in the shared community room where you'd hear the phone ringing or someone watching a movie together. The facility provided transportation and parking, which made things easy for those who needed a ride to appointments or just wanted some fresh air on the walking paths or in the flower garden outside, and everything there was wheelchair accessible, with emergency alert systems and full-time staff available all the time to help with safety concerns, emergencies, or just a helping hand if anyone needed it. People who needed extra help got it, whether it was with bathing, dressing, or getting around; there were daily medical assessments and the staff worked closely with each resident's healthcare team, offering specialized services such as medication management, incontinence care, diabetes care, colostomy or catheter care, and hospice support for folks when the need arose, with extra short-term options and respite care for families in transition or needing a break. For anyone living with memory trouble like Alzheimer's or dementia, Old Farm had a protected space with engaging daily cognitive activities, plus the opportunity to bring in favorite furnishings from home, which always seemed to make everyone more comfortable and settled, and there were devotional activities, community-sponsored events, off-site trips, and even things like movie nights for those who liked to keep busy, with a strong focus on keeping spirits up and giving residents choices about how they spent their days. Dietary needs were carefully handled, whether someone required meals for allergies, diabetes, or other health restrictions; meals were cooked, served, and always included special options for those with unique restrictions, and the dining room was clean and comfortable for everyone to gather. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help all came with living there, so daily chores didn't pile up, and there were indoor gathering areas as well as outdoor spots for relaxing or socializing, and smoking was permitted for those who needed it. Besides assisted living and independent options, Old Farm Living Ctr also offered skilled nursing home care, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy through partnerships, making it possible for folks to stay as their needs changed. The place operated as an adult family home under license number AF110380176, owned by Everlyne Ajowi, and it held community living certification, though the license expired on 1/22/2023, and the facility has since closed as of 11/29/2023, after providing care for aged residents since 1/23/2021. Tours were available for families wanting to see the place before deciding, and there was always a welcoming feel for anyone seeking a supportive, social environment with care options tailored to both daily living and specific medical needs.
