Sunrise of Shelby Township sits on Hayes Road and offers several types of senior care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term stays, skilled nursing, and hospice care, all within one community so folks can get more help as their needs change over time without moving someplace new. The building has three stories with inviting porches, patios, and gardens, and it's filled with comfortable lounges, fireplaces, TV rooms, a movie room, activity spaces, and dining areas like bistro-style spots and private dining rooms where residents enjoy restaurant-style meals, snacks, and special diets. People who live here get personalized care plans set up by designated Care Managers, with a structure to help them keep their independence while they still get help with daily tasks like bathing or medication-there's always staff on hand, including nurses and a Certified Assisted Living Director, and the community is verified for current licensing.
For folks who need extra support, there's a licensed skilled nursing area for those needing more care than assisted living, and a specialized memory care floor made for residents with Alzheimer's or other dementias, with the Reminiscence Program and sensory activities that support memory and calm. The staff gets extra training for dementia care, and rooms are designed to feel like home, with plenty of natural light, cozy furniture, and safety features. Residents can bring pets. The community's clubhouses, activity rooms, and enclosed courtyards are used for at least seven programs a day, including outings, exercise, music, arts and crafts, socials, and even spiritual gatherings with visits from chaplains. There's a beauty salon, a computer room, a game room, a library, and patios where people sit outside, enjoying the shade and gardens.
Nurses and wellness staff are on-site 24/7 and can help people stay after injuries or surgery with respite stays, while those needing hospice or home care can coordinate those services through Sunrise. Transportation is available both free and at cost, so getting to local spots like Macomb Performing Arts Center, Lakeside Mall, or the hospital isn't hard.
The apartments come as studio, one, or two-bedroom suites, all with kitchenettes, and services include laundry, housekeeping, meal delivery, medication management, counseling, mental health support, help after strokes or mild dementia, and Genesis Rehabilitation Services on-site. Residents share their stories so families can learn what it's like to live here, and there's plenty of planning advice and resources for caregivers, including how to start talking about senior care. The community is pet-friendly, welcomes people with disabilities, and tries to make daily life comfortable, safe, and engaging through a steady routine, loving staff, and custom programs. Sunrise of Shelby Township has been providing care like this for more than 35 years, which gives families some peace of mind.
