Overview of Safe Haven Hill

Operating as a small group home in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Safe Haven Hill is a senior living community offering memory care and assisted living rather than a large campus setting. The community is a single-story residence with space for six residents, creating a more intimate, home-like environment. It is operated by Great Lakes Assisted Living INC. Both private and semi-private room options are offered.

The home is designed around memory care. It supports residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of memory loss through a smaller staff-to-resident ratio than many larger communities can provide. Daily services include housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation. Residents also have access to fitness and recreation programs. Transportation services are available for residents with appointments and errands.

Safe Haven Hill is about 3.1 miles from Trinity Health Oakland Hospital, providing convenient access to nearby medical care in the event of appointments or emergencies. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 42 out of 100. A few nearby errands can be completed on foot, but most outings require a car or the community’s transportation service.

State inspections conducted by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs have focused on medication administration when residents are away from the community, fire drill documentation, and completion of required staff training and health screenings. The community submitted a corrective action plan to address these areas, and it was approved.

Families considering Safe Haven Hill for a loved one with memory care needs should ask how the smaller staff team organizes one-on-one support throughout the day.
