Grace Valley Assisted Living sits about five miles from downtown Kalamazoo in a quiet neighborhood, and the home takes up to six residents at a time, which keeps things close-knit and friendly, and you'll find private bedrooms with half baths for everyone, plus a mix of studio and semi-private living spaces with kitchenettes, cable TV, and internet. Residents get three home-cooked meals a day in the dining room, which covers special diets like diabetes and allergies, and there's access to snacks and plenty of drinks, too. The staff, including the owner Becky who's present every day, treat folks with kindness, love, and lots of respect, and they help with the basics like bathing, dressing, medication, moving around, incontinence care, and keeping an eye on everyone 24 hours a day. This place offers memory care for people with Alzheimer's and has licenses and waivers for dementia and hospice, making sure people with special health needs have the right support and comfort, and there are personalized care plans and regular engagement-even after someone's been in the hospital-so nobody feels forgotten.
Grace Valley works hard to give residents independence but steps in with support when needed, offering help with medications, meals, laundry, and housekeeping so people don't have to worry about the chores that get harder with age. There's a nice landscaped courtyard, garden, walking trails, and an emergency alert system, so everybody feels safe and welcome, and social life here gets a boost from activities like music therapy, storytelling, crafts, movie nights, and group events, all designed to foster connections between residents. The small size of the community helps people build friendships and makes it easier to get to know the staff and other residents, and there's a sense of belonging regardless of age, gender, or background. The facility's fully furnished, air-conditioned, and the private rooms make it feel more like a real home than an institution, and residents have access to transportation, a barbershop, a private dining room for gatherings, plus nearby medical services like pharmacies and hospitals when needed. Grace Valley welcomes elderly men and women who can't live alone anymore, providing adult foster care with support for both physical and emotional needs, always focused on making daily life dignified and uplifting, and treating every person in the house as a valued member of the family.
