Appledorn Assisted Living Center South

The Appledorn Assisted Living Campus, located in Holland, Michigan, has options to meet any assisted living needs. All of our residents receive support in the form of daily meals, laundry, and housekeeping, in addition to other services, personalized to individual needs. The trained and attentive staff at Appledorn South work to ensure residents’ comfort and wellness.

Appledorn South has assisted living care as well as expanded memory impairment-support options to care for residents experiencing dementia and Alzheimer’s. Our facility is fully licensed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services as a Home for the Aged.

The mission of the Appledorn Assisted Living Center is to provide residents with the care and support they need, in the home setting that they deserve. We seek to promote residents’ independence, dignity, and self-sufficiency to the greatest extent possible, without undue restriction, and to foster personal, social, and psychological development of those in our care.

At Appledorn Assisted Living Center, we personalize care to your specific situation. To do this, we perform a Personal Needs Assessment that measures factors such as continence, mobility, mental acuity, and performance of essential daily tasks. Based upon this assessment, the results of which we review with the resident and family or representatives, supplementary care that exceeds our basic care offerings is provided (at an additional cost).

As-necessary supplementary services include:

• Assistance getting into or out of bed
• Bathing assistance (in shower or hydrotherapy tub)
• Medical testing assistance
• Dressing/grooming/personal care assistance
• Assistance getting to and from events, activities, and meals

To ensure our residents’ health and comfort, Appledorn South staff is ready to assist at any time, with needs big or small. The following services are essential to the continued comfort of our residents, and are included in our base fee.

Appledorn’s chefs prepare healthful and savory meals in-house, three times per day. Meals are served in our community dining room to provide residents with a chance to socialize. Beverages hot and cold, homemade muffins, fruit, and other treats are up for grabs at any time you feel like having a snack.

Licensed nurses are on-staff and available 24/7. Trained Medication Technicians are scheduled around-the-clock to provide medication assistance which may include opening pill bottles, reminding residents to take medication and dispensing medication.

The maintenance staff of the Appledorn campus keep our facilities beautiful and functioning smoothly, and can assist with adjusting the thermostat and hanging pictures, to name a few duties, as well as performing other facility upkeep activities.

We believe that Appledorn residents should live well. To facilitate this, we offer programs, events, and activities to address the physical, social, mental, and emotional aspects of well-being.
