The facility opened in 1987 and expanded substantially in 2013, adding a secured memory care unit and increasing licensed capacity from 38 to 56 beds. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The community offers secured memory care, private apartment-style suites, activity programs, transportation services, dietary accommodations, and pets. All features are confirmed and active.

Current occupancy is 36 percent (20 of 56 beds occupied), well below the state average, indicating immediate openings. The resident population is predominantly Medicaid (80 percent), with an average stay of 227 days, reflecting a long-term care model.

The June 2023 renewal inspection documented zero deficiencies and approved license renewal. This result aligns with prior inspections in 2013 and 2009, both of which also found full compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Michigan

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Michigan?

Assisted living in Michigan supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Michigan?

Assisted living in Michigan is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Michigan Medicaid cover assisted living?

Michigan Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Michigan) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 446 assisted living facilities in Michigan. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Michigan?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Michigan, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Michigan?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
