It expanded from its original 54 beds to 83 in 2021. The facility holds a regular license and has earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

The inspection record demonstrates general compliance with notable decline in food safety.

Inspectors found opened food items in the walk-in refrigerator that lacked labels and dates, and noted scoops left inside flour and food storage bins. This food safety deficiency marks a new area of concern not present in earlier inspections. Deficiency rates overall are 94 percent below the Michigan average for similar facilities.

The community provides all meals and entertainment for residents, with flexible room-service delivery of snacks and meals upon request. Every resident room is ADA accessible. The rooms accommodate individual or double occupancy residents. Respite care is available for temporary stays and family support.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Michigan Medicaid cover memory care?

Michigan Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 376 memory care communities in Michigan. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
