Overview of The Courtyard at Sterling Heights Assisted Living & Memory Care

The Courtyard at Sterling Heights Assisted Living & Memory Care provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Sterling Heights, MI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care supports short stays, so the combination of care levels may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time or a family caregiver who needs temporary support.

There are 20 beds. The smaller setting gives staff and residents more opportunity to get to know each other. Encore McHenry operates the community, and the starting price is $100,000 per month, although no care level is specified for that figure.

A salon provides access to salon services, and the courtyard offers outdoor space on the property. Transportation and rehabilitation services are available without being listed as additional care types. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to continue living with a pet. With a Walk Score of 64, some errands can be done on foot, which may allow a resident who no longer drives to reach certain nearby destinations independently.
