Overview of Cook Valley Estates

Cook Valley Estates is an independent living community in Grand Rapids, MI, operated by Brio Living Services (UMRC & Porter Hills). Independent living here means private living with community services rather than daily personal care, which may suit someone who wants to maintain an independent household while taking part in organized activities and wellness programs. Housing includes one bedroom apartments, two bedroom apartments and cottages, so residents can choose a setting that matches their household needs.

Wheelchair accessibility supports movement through the community for residents who use wheelchairs. United Methodist religious services are available for residents who practice that tradition. Residents can use a therapy pool with swim in place jets and join water exercise classes without leaving the community.

There is more to do indoors. A fitness room, an art studio with full spectrum lighting, a theater, library and computer lab, game room, card groups and club meetings create places for exercise, creative work, learning and group activities. Restaurant style dining, a bistro or café and private dining rooms support regular meals as well as family events, while Balanced Living and Health/Wellness programs offer structured opportunities for wellness focused programming.
