Kings Daughters Home is a nonprofit, faith-based senior living community set in a historic brick building designed by Alden B. Dow, which gives it lots of light and cheerful colors, and in every room you'll find big windows looking out into two landscaped courtyards with gardens and walking paths, where folks can take some fresh air or watch the seasons change, and on the inside, the rooms come with telephones so residents can call family and friends in private, plus they have Wi-Fi, cable TV, and storage. The place has both assisted living and skilled nursing care, so people can stay as their needs change, and the building is laid out with an L-shaped floorplan, one story high, with various wings-one wing for assisted living with 17 rooms, two double rooms, and two apartments for folks who are more independent, and another larger convalescent wing with 41 rooms, a few three-bed wards, some extra apartments, a dining room, kitchen, chapel, nurse's station, and even a beauty shop, along with spots like a thrift shop, barbershop, library, sewing and hobby rooms, and a meeting room all on the lower level, so there's always somewhere different to go.
Kings Daughters Home provides scheduled activities every day, along with resident-led events, movie nights on a big TV in the sunroom, outings in Midland, and community-sponsored events to keep folks busy and connect with each other, and many people enjoy the meals here because the chefs and meal planners prepare tasty, nutritious food served restaurant style, and if guests come to visit, they can join for meals too. There's a strong sense of friendliness-staff smile and talk with both residents and families, the front desk greets everyone, and helpers sit with folks, chat about news, and help with hobbies or sewing projects, while around-the-clock supervision and a 24-hour call system help give everyone peace of mind. Nursing care is available twenty-four seven, with help for walking, dressing, bathing, transfers, medication management, incontinence, diabetes care, and even physical, occupational, and speech therapies for rehab, so no matter how much or little help a senior needs, there's someone thoughtful nearby.
People living at Kings Daughters Home find a warm, home-like atmosphere, helped by things like a living room with a piano, a fireplace, modern lighting, and art picked to make the shared spaces feel lively, and the place stays true to its roots as part of the International Order of Kings Daughters and Sons, with on-site devotional and counseling services for those who want them. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are all included, so residents can relax and enjoy time on the porch, in the garden, or out on the walking paths. There's a well-trained staff who focus on supporting people's dignity and independence, and folks are encouraged to take part in fitness classes, wellness programs, or just to sit and garden in the sunshine if that's what suits them. With space for around 29 people in nursing care and up to 30 in assisted living, this community stays small enough for folks to know each other, and the fees are private pay and reasonable. Kings Daughters Home is licensed by the State of Michigan and keeps up with legal, workforce, and quality standards, offering education and supporting its staff through scholarships and training, and the community sometimes wins awards for its teamwork and for people who go above and beyond. The care takes many forms-help with daily living, skilled nursing, medication management, therapy sessions, and more, all mixed together so each resident's needs get met without fuss, and people say it feels personal, with a focus on keeping life meaningful, social, and safe.
