Overview of Kings Loving Hands (klh)

Kings Loving Hands, KLH for short, sits in Detroit’s Schulze neighborhood at 18963 Pinehurst Street, and it covers more ground than most single-building communities do. Assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care all live under one roof here, open to residents 45 and up.

Memory care runs through a specific program, Living Well Memory Care, built around dementia and Alzheimer’s support. Staff in that program are trained specifically in cognitive support and behavioral management, which is a meaningfully different skill set than general caregiving. Assisted living covers the usual daily needs, medication management, bathing, dressing, and meals, while independent living is built for residents who want their own space and social life without medical support layered on top.

Respite care rounds out the offering, giving family caregivers an actual break, a real stretch of time where someone else handles day-to-day care. On top of the four main service lines, KLH also supports post-surgical recovery and residents managing physical disabilities. Meals get real planning behind them too, not just prepared food but healthy meal planning built into daily routines. Every resident, regardless of which service level they’re in, gets an individualized care plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Location-wise, the neighborhood is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 67, so some errands are doable without a car. Select Specialty Hospital in Northwest Detroit sits just over a mile out, and downtown Detroit is roughly 13 miles away.

KLH offers four levels of care, a named memory program with real specificity behind it, and individualized planning that follows residents through whatever stage of care they’re actually in.

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.
