Thornapple Manor

Overview of Our Staff and Training

Our team includes Resident Care Associates (RCA) on each shift, who are both med pass trained and care trained. Additionally, our director is a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), ensuring professional oversight and care.

Safety and Well-being Measures

We conduct 2-3 hour checks on all residents daily to ensure their safety and well-being.

Transition Support Services

Our staff and the families of our residents work together to help new residents transition into the community smoothly, with no issues reported so far.

Transportation Services

Transportation is available through Barry County Transit for residents who need a ride, in addition to transportation provided by families.

Dining Experience

Our dining experience is comparable to a restaurant, featuring white tablecloths, ordered meals, and a daily selection of 5 meal options plus a soup of the day, all prepared by our dining staff and chef.

Addressing Complaints and Issues

We maintain a suggestion box checked daily for resident feedback. Any complaints are immediately addressed by the director.

Cost of Living

The cost of living in our community is currently unspecified.

Communication with Residents' Families

All authorized representatives are kept informed of any changes regarding their loved ones. We also distribute a monthly newsletter detailing upcoming events and updates.

Short-term and Respite Stays

We offer short-term or respite stays for up to 60 days at a cost of $200.00 per day.

Pet-Friendly Community

Our community is pet-friendly, allowing residents to have small dogs or cats, provided they can care for them. There is a one-time fee of $250.00 for pets.

Vaccination Services

Last fall, we hosted a flu clinic, although we were unable to offer a COVID-19 vaccination clinic due to our pharmacy's lack of available vaccines.

Aging in Place

While we strive to allow residents to age in place, those requiring two-person transfers may need to transition to our main campus for long-term care. We are actively working on updating our model to better accommodate aging in place in the future. Currently, there is no waitlist.
