Ripley Court is a small adult group home, part of Senior Homes of Michigan, that's licensed under Adult Foster Care and runs with a capacity for six residents, offering a quiet, country setting for folks who need help with daily living and special care needs. This home puts focus on people with Alzheimer's, physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, mental illness, or traumatic brain injury, and uses a tailored approach, making sure both short-term and long-term residents get services that fit their own needs. Rooms come with telephones, and residents can use laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping services, and there's a move-in support program to make the transition smoother for new residents, which many families find comforting.
The building is wheelchair accessible, offering non-ambulatory care, and keeps a dedicated staff on site 24-hours a day, with help available for transfers, bathing, dressing, and medication management. Residents can expect home-cooked meals in a furnished dining room, with special dietary plans if needed, and the stone fireplaces and scenic dining views add a bit of hominess that many enjoy. The home's garden and outdoor relaxation areas give folks a place to sit and watch the birds or walk around, and inside, there are shared spaces for activities like movie nights or social events. The Ripley Court team helps coordinate with healthcare providers, has transportation and parking services nearby, and provides dementia care and general residential support. Costs start around $3,400 per month.
Accredited by CARF International, the home focuses on a respectful environment that values privacy, human rights, and independence, making sure everyone feels supported but still has a say in their life. Licensed by Adult Learning Systems - UP, Inc., Ripley Court underwent its latest licensing in June 2024 and is due for renewal in June 2026 under number AS520292888. The facility uses online tools like Customer Connect and Payer Portal for resources and has feedback surveys to keep standards high and encourage improvement. Ripley Court keeps things small and personal, with staff who aim to know the residents well and maintain traditions that help everyone feel at home. The community doesn't accept Medicare unless there's special certification. This family-run nonprofit keeps to a strict set of values, aiming to give each resident purpose, dignity, and a daily routine in a welcoming home, while also forming connections with the local community and staying up to code with state and local agencies.
