Serene Gardens – Assisted Living & Memory Care
Serene Gardens, assisted living & Memory Care offers assisted living and memory care in Sterling Heights, MI. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while allowing a resident to keep a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having both care levels can support a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
Housing includes studios, one bedroom residences, and two bedroom residences. The two bedroom option may suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. Transportation is available, but the Walk Score of 32 places the community in a car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.
