Assisted Living, Memory Care,
and Long-Term Care

Watching a loved one struggle to take care of themselves can be a difficult process. But knowing the right time to enroll them into assisted living can provide a multitude of benefits. It can protect them from accidental injuries from slips and falls or provide stability and assistance in everyday activities. In addition, it can give them the social and mental stimulation they may otherwise be lacking.

Deciding to enroll in assisted living is not easy. But Memorial Healthcare dedicates itself to easing the process. We ensure our patients feel right at home by providing a safe, compassionate environment. Learn more about our assisted living, memory care, and long-term care for families in Mid-Michigan.

When to Seek Out Assisted Living

When deciding if a patient or loved one should enter an assisted living facility, there are many aspects to consider. If a patient is recovering from surgery, trauma, or a health condition, assisted living can be the optimal place to heal. This is especially true if the individual requires all-around care. Assisted living also can be a great option if a loved becomes unable to complete essential daily tasks, such as taking care of themselves, cleaning the house, cooking meals, or remembering appointments or medication regimens. In addition, assisted living is great for those who find themselves injuring themselves through falls and trips. This can be an indication they may not be able to care for themselves, especially if their injuries become severe.

Other signs that a loved one may need assisted living include:

  • Developing cognitive issues
  • Rapid weight gain or loss
  • Disinterest in activities and hobbies

Families also may choose to enroll their loved ones in assisted living if they are unable to care for them. Some family members may require an extensive level of care that families cannot provide due to their already busy everyday life. Assisted living can give them the peace of mind they need in knowing their loved one is receiving the best care. At Memorial Healthcare, we provide the services to give individuals 24/7 care so those who need it can rely on the expertise of knowledgeable professionals.
