Allegria Village, formerly known as Henry Ford Village, sits on a big 35-acre piece of land that used to be a family farm and is the birthplace of Henry Ford, and the place has turned into a gated community for people aged 55 and over, offering month-to-month rentals so there's no need to worry about entrance fees, and you'll find a maintenance-free lifestyle here where the staff handles all repairs, upkeep, and lawn care, so residents can just enjoy their day without worrying about the little chores or housework. The community lets people age in place, meaning you can stay even if your care needs change as you get older, offering everything from independent living and assisted living to memory care, rehabilitation, short-term respite stays, and long-term skilled nursing, and the campus even supports hospice care when needed. Folks who live here get their own living spaces, like studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, and some even have balconies, with private bathrooms and choices on how they want to set up their room for comfort.
You'll find everyday conveniences like Wi-Fi, on-site beautician services, an on-site Comerica Bank, a convenience store, and a therapy shop. The campus even connects all the buildings with climate-controlled hallways, so residents can walk everywhere inside no matter the weather outside, and that sure is handy. For those who like to stay busy, the place has a swimming pool, a hot tub, a billiards and game room, a modern fitness center, a golf simulator, a pickleball court, a 9-hole putting green, and a bocce ball court, plus beautifully landscaped grounds, walking trails, gardens, a pond with a gazebo, and benches for sitting and enjoying the view. There's both indoor and outdoor common areas, lounges, a community restaurant, and over 40 different floor plans for living spaces. The campus allows pets and is fully handicap accessible, with wheelchair-friendly showers and full tubs.
Allegria Village holds about 150 resident clubs, nearly 100 coordinated activities, and has its own Activities Director to help folks find something fun to do, whether it's on campus or off. There are residents' lounges, a library, a hobby workshop, and three dining venues serving meals planned by chefs and meal planners, with lots of options for those who want their meals included in their rental. The place offers social outings, indoor devotional services, and transportation for doctor's visits, shopping, or outings, with some complimentary transportation included and additional at-cost services, plus on-site parking for those who still drive.
Medical needs get met at the on-site Medical Center, which connects to a network of about 20 physicians in geriatric care, dentistry, and podiatry, and the staff provide skilled nursing, support with medications, and memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia, complete with safe, supportive environments. Nurses are available around the clock, and campus security works 24/7, so residents always have help on hand. The community is pet-friendly, offers plenty of spaces to socialize or relax, and gives people the choice to live as independently as possible or seek more support as needs change. The reputation here centers around friendly, caring staff and a safe, welcoming atmosphere, and they offer tours to let folks see daily life for themselves.
