DaySpring Independent Living Apartments sits in the Norton Shores and Muskegon area with addresses at 572 and 640 Lake Forest Lane, so folks can find both independent and assisted living choices right there, and they have units that are fully furnished or come as one or two-bedroom suites, so there's some flexibility in how a person can set up their home, and they've included things like in-room washers and dryers, kitchenettes, central air, and safety features for people with disabilities, plus there are elevators and wide halls for easy movement if someone's got a walker or wheelchair, and it's well known that the rooms feel bigger than at lots of similar places, which can help folks feel more at home. The staff keeps things tidy, and people have mentioned they're friendly and pay attention to the details that matter, which helps everyone stay comfortable and safe.
DaySpring offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and even an Adult Day Services program for folks who only need support part-time, whether that's just to keep people active or to give caregivers a break, and people can bring small pets like cats or dogs if they're able or enjoy pet visits if that's easier, which can warm up the day for animal lovers or just anyone needing a little cheer. There's a real effort to balance independence and support, so seniors can get personal help with daily needs like bathing, medication, or moving around, without losing their privacy. For care needs, they provide nursing staff, medication help, and even dental visits, and if someone needs a ride for shopping, concerts, or appointments, they've got transportation set up, sometimes to places like Frederik Meijer Gardens, The Lakes Mall, or grocery stores.
There's a big focus on socializing, with daily noon meals meant to bring neighbors together, regular bingo, arts and crafts, education classes, TV/movie nights, and off-site trips, and you can count on spiritual activities too since there are chapel services and three nearby churches, with programs that often encourage people to connect and share their experiences. The building includes conveniences like a dining hall, an on-site café, a hair and beauty salon with beautician services, library and book collection, and outdoor garden space for sitting or walking in fresh air, so you don't have to go far to get what you need or just enjoy being around others.
Housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning services come each week, and meals are cooked and balanced with nutrition in mind, so residents don't have to fuss over chores or cooking if they're not up for it. The setting stays clean and well-kept because there's a maintenance team always on hand to help out, and they've made the place worry-free for people who want to age with dignity and a bit of help only when they need it. Local hospitals, several doctors, and a dozen or so pharmacies are close by in case there's ever a need.
DaySpring gets high marks from reviewers for tidy surroundings and caring staff, shown in a recent 4.5-star rating from people who've lived there or had family stay, and while there's no official published pricing, a typical reported price runs around $275, making it one of the more affordable options in the area. They keep a lively environment that tries hard to make every day fulfilling, through social life, spiritual growth, safety, and simple comforts, and they keep service hours long during the week and weekends for anyone wanting to ask questions or get information. DaySpring does its best to offer a close-knit place for older adults who want to keep active, have support nearby, and feel respected and welcome in their later years.
