Arbor Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in Alma, Michigan, as a senior living community managed by StoryPoint Group, where folks find independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement options all in one place, so you'll see people needing light to heavy care, some getting daily help with things like bathing or medication, and others living more on their own, with nurses and trained staff on-site and awake around the clock to help in emergencies or with special health needs like diabetes, incontinence care, and two-person transfers. The community's known for its Moments Memory Care™ program, Michigan's first trademarked memory care-staff get extra training to support adults with Alzheimer's and other memory impairments, making sure everyone feels safe, has personalized care plans, and lives in a secure setting that makes family visits comfortable, and the environment is designed to help with confusion or wandering, keeping everyone as at ease as possible.
Residents have a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with open floor plans that feel home-like, where you can decorate as you wish, and there are wheelchair accessible bathrooms with showers and tubs, plus a kitchen, dining rooms, and living spaces where people gather. Meals come chef-prepared, with choices for different diets like kosher or vegetarian, and everything's restaurant-style, so you sit together and eat like you would at home, while a beauty salon and barber shop, library, courtyard, fireplace, and swimming pool or hot tub fill out the list of comforts. Staff take care of housekeeping, and there's maintenance-free living in independent apartments, so you don't have to worry about cleaning or repairs, and pets like cats and dogs are allowed, making things feel more like home.
The activity staff organize trips and outings, though sometimes there might not be specific group activities scheduled, but there are indoor and outdoor common areas built for socializing, a pavilion for sunny days or a fireplace for when it gets cold, and some folks like using the business center, on-site devotional services, or visiting the beauty shop. There's a big focus on keeping everybody moving and connecting with each other, with therapists who visit for things like podiatry, physical therapy, occupational and speech needs, plus transportation for appointments or outings off-site.
Residents can get respite or hospice care, and those who need more help as time goes by can often stay without moving somewhere else, since the community offers aging in place. Arbor Grove tries to make the days pleasant for the folks living there, emphasizing safety, independence, and personal choice, so if you want a quiet day or to join social events, there's some freedom to shape your time. You'll find amenities like Wi-Fi, freshly prepared meals using local ingredients, and spaces you can gather with friends or family, and the facility is recognized with awards like Best of Senior Living. Monthly costs change depending on the type of room and care needs, and while there are community, respite, and buy-in fees, the place accepts private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, and some commercial insurance, aiming to make things straightforward for families. The idea at Arbor Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care is to keep life comfortable and safe, offer support when needed, and make sure those with memory or health needs can still enjoy their time in a friendly, well-kept place.
