A Family Affair sits in a quiet country setting at 1661 Madeline Drive in Lapeer, Michigan, operating as a licensed Adult Small Group Home with just six beds, so the place really feels like a family home, nice and clean and always pretty spacious for everyone. The ranch-style house helps seniors who need help with daily living, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, or even more advanced nursing care, so folks who want to stay independent as long as possible find support here, along with those who need steady hands nearby. Central air keeps things comfortable, the rooms come with cable TV, safety features, kitchenettes, and cozy options like one-bedroom, studio, or semi-private layouts, plus every room has safety and handicap fixtures and smoke alarms for added peace of mind.
The staff stays on duty every hour, ready to help with medication, bathing, dressing, walking, and even manual feeding, if that's needed; licensed registered nurses and caregivers handle care plans for each person, and the services cover things like respite, hospice, medication support, and diabetic needs. There are activities every day, all sorts of arts and crafts, movie nights with the big TV, library time, internet access, a courtyard and garden to enjoy, social outings, and even spiritual support for Christian seniors, so there's always something for minds and bodies, whether it's fitness, speech and occupational therapy, or just joining friends for home-cooked meals. They offer three meals a day plus all-day snacks, and if someone has allergies, needs a vegetarian menu, or special dietary plans for dementia or diabetes, the kitchen and planners take care of that-meals get made from scratch with fresh ingredients, always focused on quality and nutrition.
The home takes care of both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents and can manage falls, incontinence, and other high-acuity needs and, while they don't take Medicare, all services follow state licensing rules with the required caregiver-to-resident ratio and regular inspections. The building is secured to reduce confusion or wandering in memory care, and the setting is pet-friendly, too, so dogs and cats are welcome at A Family Affair. There's a hair salon and barbershop on-site, a communal kitchen shared by all, and a public living area for companionship. They don't allow smoking indoors for safety and comfort, and each senior gets a care plan that's reviewed and updated as needs change. The staff works with families and stays in touch to help everyone feel included and informed and, with over 17 years in service, the home has kept its focus on treating every resident with respect and giving them the right mix of independence, safety, personalized attention, and support.
