Waltonwood Senior Community sits in Rochester Hills, Michigan, less than three miles from downtown, where everything's close by if you want a trip into town, but you can also enjoy the peaceful setting at home with shaded walking paths and gardens full of flowers, a big fountain, and outdoor spots to sit and relax. The place has 50 licensed beds in a building where everything's set up for seniors, whether someone's looking for independent living with a maintenance-free lifestyle, resort-style extras, and their own kitchenette, or needs higher levels of help like assisted living, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, or round-the-clock skilled nursing with medication management, transfers, wound care, and other healthcare services. Folks can choose from private rooms with fully furnished spaces, air conditioning, cable, and private bathrooms, or share cozy sofas in common areas with soft lighting, TVs, and places to play games, read, or chat with neighbors. Waltonwood has a salon, a fitness room, a small but stocked library, a computer center, a wellness center, a health room, and special places like a jacuzzi and sauna; the staff've thought of spaces for socializing and relaxing, with a game room and book room, plus pet-friendly policies for residents who want to bring their animals.
Meals come from a restaurant-style dining room, where chefs make food that can match dietary needs, including diabetes diets, and meal planners focus on the taste and quality of what's served. Seniors get to join daily activities, outings, and clubs both led by the community and run by residents themselves-some like music programs, movie nights, creative classes, planned trips, and even fitness and wellness programs for staying active. There are outdoor spaces for walking, gardens to enjoy, and evening community events to help people connect, so you don't feel left out or alone. When someone moves in, the staff help with planning, and all residents get 24-hour supervision, support with daily activities if needed, access to a 24-hour emergency call system, and non-medical transportation or rides for medical appointments. Waltonwood offers several care options with independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term respite care, adult daycare, and skilled nursing, and the facility accepts residents needing hospice care, wound care, or comprehensive nursing.
The place's family-owned and operated since 1987, and the staff usually get recognized for being friendly, helpful, and good at making life comfortable, which families say gives them peace of mind, though there haven't been any public reviews yet. The culture stays friendly, calm, and welcoming, and care teams have a consistent presence-nursing support covers 12 to 16 hours a day, and caregivers and assistants cover needs the rest of the time. There's always help available for bathing, dressing, mobility, transfers, medication supervision, or extra care for people who can't get around easily. Waltonwood Senior Community has unique programs like Waltonwood University for life enrichment, and all care plans get tailored to individual needs, to keep up with current practices. The whole setup's meant to balance comfort and safety, with modern design but a home-like feel, and people looking for a medium-sized, licensed Homes for the Aged in the Rochester area will see that Waltonwood offers a little bit of something for just about every need, whether someone's active or needs full medical support, and there's always transportation, parking, and a resident portal to keep families updated.
