Overview of Green Acres of Standale

Operated by Retirement Living Management of Standale, LLC, Green Acres of Standale is a small, 20-bed assisted living and memory care community in the Walker neighborhood of Grand Rapids. The facility at 11276 1st Ave NW sits in a suburban area with a Walk Score of 44, so most daily trips demand a car. It opened a year ago and is designed with an intimate setting in mind, offering one-bedroom units and a focused care model suited for residents with dementia diagnoses.

Daily life focuses on structured, cognitively engaging activities, on-site meals, and transportation support. Fitness and recreation resources complement the on-site amenities, and respite care exists for families seeking temporary placements. At this size, the community works with closer staff-resident interactions than you’d find in a larger setting, which captivates families prioritizing individualized attention.

State inspections have centered on staffing and staff credentials, with the latest renewal inspection in January 2025 affirming the facility in full compliance.

For families considering this community, touring in person is worth scheduling to see the rooms, meet the team, and learn how the activities and daily rhythm match your loved one’s needs. Its focused care model fits occupants with dementia diagnoses.
