Overview of American House Charlevoix

American House Charlevoix offers independent living, memory care, and respite care in Charlevoix, Michigan. Independent living provides a private residence with community services but no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for a resident who may be at risk of wandering. Respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The combination of care options may suit a resident whose needs could change over time without requiring a move to a different community. Housing includes studios and one bedroom residences, with a studio offering one private living space. Restaurant style dining with chef prepared meals gives residents prepared food served in a restaurant style setting, while the salon or spa provides on site grooming. Residents may also use the patio, outdoor fireplace, personal and scheduled transportation, and the pet friendly policy allows a resident to live with a pet.
