Admissions
Seeking placement into a long-term care facility is often a difficult decision. Many times a family wants to be prepared for future needs. Placement can be temporary as a resident builds up physical strength for independent living or at times seeking long-term placement. We at the Sanilac Medical Care Facility will make every effort to make this process go as smoothly as possible.
Personal Items
All resident’s personal items should go directly to the SMCF Laundry Department to be clearly labeled with their name upon admission. Clothing will be marked in an inconspicuous place. Unmarked items make it impossible to identify ownership and proper labeling will assure that your family member’s items remain safe with them. Personal television sets are allowed and are properly set up by our Maintenance Department.
