Social Services
Making the decision to move into a new home is difficult for both the resident and the family involved. Placement maybe temporary or indefinite, but either way, a sense of loss and adjustment is faced by the resident and their family. The Social Workers within the Facility are prepared to assist with this adjustment, as well as monitor and assist throughout the residents stay here for psychological and psycho social needs.
The facility has two trained professionals, Betsy Bielski, MSW and Mike Senters, BSW. Our Social Service Department works closely with Mental Health Services, Home Health, Hospice, and other various community resources to guarantee the highest quality of life for the residents, whether they make the facility their permanent home or return to independent living. Acting as a liaison between the family, the resident and the facility, the social worker will often help with resident advance directive, issues, concerns or educating the family in regards to medical issues.
Recreational Activities
There are a variety of ways in which our Life Enrichment Coordinator, Nan Schultz and her staff provide the residents with much needed assistance. Times spent in reading or writing letters for the residents; facilitating religious services; passing out newspapers; going on outings in the community; helping with bingo or other group games or entertainment; taking residents outside in the nice weather, are all examples of ways that and our staff can provide assistance to support our residents at Manistee County Medical Care.

The Dietary Department is headed by Jen Flewelling. We have a contract with a Registered Dietitian who consults at the facility each month to address any dietary concerns that arise.

Our goal is to provide an enjoyable, home like dining experience for our residents while meeting their nutritional needs.
