Palmers Place

Palmers Place sits at 1009 S St Johns St in Ithaca, Michigan, and you'll find it's an adult family home licensed for up to 12 people who might need more care with age, disabilities, illness, or memory problems, and the staff, including Ms. Jennia Woodcock as co-owner, try to keep things comfortable, steady, and safe. Now, it operates as a corporation called Palmers Place Inc, and holds a current license from July 2024 through July 2026, serving as both an adult foster care and assisted living option with someone there twenty-four hours a day, all days of the week. Residents get a choice of private or shared rooms, all with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, and the spaces are fully furnished and cooled with air conditioning, plus, cable TV, phone, and internet are available so folks can stay connected. All meals are covered, cleaning and maintenance are handled, and there's support for everything folks might need help with, like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and for those with memory issues, staff have training for Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia care. The place does both long-term and hospice care, and home care services, too, with aides around for non-medical help and companionship, while daily routines are filled with social activities-some inside and some out-along with meal times and devotional gatherings, and there's a focus on keeping the sense of community strong and supporting each person's well-being. The community stays close with Ithaca City Hall and the website's listed at ithacami.com, but even with all these things in place, Palmers Place doesn't have accreditation from the BBB, which some people care about and others don't. There's an effort here to balance celebrating each person's past while looking forward, and staff keep things simple, aiming to create an environment where folks still live with purpose and comfort each day, whether they need a little help or a lot.
