Overview of Chelsea Retirement Community Chelsea Retirement Community is a continuing care retirement community in Chelsea, MI, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with dementia or at risk of wandering. Nursing home care and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Several care levels are available within one community. For a resident whose needs may grow over time, that can mean staying at Chelsea Retirement Community rather than moving to a different community. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while the Post Acute Care program and rehabilitation services support recovery after an illness or injury. Pets are allowed, so a resident can keep a pet as part of daily life.
Housing includes studios, one bedroom residences, two bedroom residences, and cottages. A studio offers one private living space, while a two bedroom residence can suit a couple moving together. The community has 172 beds and opened in 1906.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several listed ways to cover care. Medicaid may help someone whose savings will not cover a long stay, while Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 39 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned per resident. United Methodist Retirement Communities operates Chelsea Retirement Community.
