Serene Gardens of Sterling Heights has a homelike feel where staff know residents by name and pay attention to each person's needs. The place has clean living spaces and comfortable suites, and some rooms come with murals and themes, while the building itself is two stories. Residents can choose from different floor plans, from studios to two-bedrooms, many starting at 600 square feet with ceilings as high as ten feet, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and in-suite washers and dryers. The community offers both care homes and senior apartments, with services ranging from independent and assisted living to memory care, and even home care for those who need it.
People live here with pets, as cats and dogs up to 30 pounds are welcome, and the outdoor areas allow smoking in certain spots. Many amenities focus on making life more enjoyable, like chapels, on-site workshops, movie theaters, a café, private dining, and raised garden beds. There's always something to do, with daily activities including art and cooking classes, karaoke, exercise classes like Tai Chi and Forever Fit, brain fitness programs, gardening, birthday and holiday parties, trivia, and even pet-focused events. The dining program provides three meals daily, with a chef preparing a variety of options, including gluten-free, low sodium, and no sugar choices, and there's always the opportunity for a continental breakfast in the morning room or special meals in the private dining space with friends or visitors.
Residents who need help with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, or medication management can get that from trained and friendly staff, and support goes beyond health care, with help offered for things such as bill paying or setting appointments. The environment especially supports those with Alzheimer's or dementia through secure memory care units of about 1000 square feet, memory-friendly features, and staff who understand how to help. The whole place is wheelchair accessible, has respite stays, and offers wi-fi throughout, plus television hookups in each unit.
The common areas are inviting, with large indoor paths, a central fireplace, a library, billiards, a beauty salon, computer center, and many outdoor walking paths and enclosed courtyards where residents can enjoy the scenery or just relax. There's parking outside, with some enclosed stalls, and every floor has access to laundry and housekeeping services.
The Sterling Heights community charges all-inclusive prices, so residents get a package that covers most of their living and care needs, with some à la carte services if anyone wants extra help. People can worship onsite or offsite, join enrichment programs, and attend dances, day trips, and local events. The whole idea is to make residents feel comfortable, respected, and part of a friendly community where friendships grow and everyone can enjoy both privacy and social gatherings. The staff stays nearby and builds real connections with the people who live there, working every day to help maintain their independence and quality of life.
