J & L Blake Adult Foster Care Home

J & L Blake Adult Foster Care Home sits in a quiet part of Belding, Michigan, where a small group of up to six adults receives care in a comfortable home-like setting, and while this place is called an adult family home, the license under Letitia Blake means it serves people with different needs like seniors, those with physical or developmental disabilities, and people who may need mental health support, and over the course of each day, trained caregivers help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, getting around, and eating meals in a communal dining area where residents can sit together, talk, and share stories, and the home offers both private and shared rooms with starting costs at $3,400 per month, but what stands out is the way they work with routines and activity schedules-movie nights, outdoor strolls on the walking paths, time in the garden, community events, and transportation when needed, because they want folks to keep a sense of independence while still having a hand nearby for support, whether it's for short stays or longer-term needs, and in this small setting they focus on dignity and privacy, keeping everything clean and safe, and really get to know each resident, listening and adjusting as their situation changes, and though it's closed as of March 2024 and the license is set through early 2025, it's been part of the Ionia County list of places serving people who can't do everything on their own but still want that feeling of home with all the care and attention that brings.
