Culver Meadows AFC, Inc. sits quietly on private woodlands at 1661 N W Silver Lake, Traverse City, MI, and it's been open since 2010, offering senior living in a peaceful spot surrounded by trees, which keeps things pretty calm and pleasant all around, and folks there can watch the seasons change outside their windows. This place offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care, as well as home care services, so someone might move here if they need help every day with things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, or if they're coming from a rehab center after surgery or a stroke, because staff stay awake and help out 24 hours a day. There's both private rooms for quiet and group spaces for meeting others or joining activities like bingo, crafts, coloring, board games, movies, and ball toss, and they have group devotional activities on-site and off-site for those who want them. Residents can live with their pets, get help getting around with wheelchair accessible showers, and stay connected with Wi-Fi and internet.
Culver Meadows AFC has a memory care community focused just on Alzheimer's and dementia, with safety features such as coded entries, alarmed exits, and smart lighting in the bathrooms and throughout the building. The staff help with diabetes care, incontinence, high acuity needs, and even end-of-life hospice care if it's needed, and they can handle different diets, serving meals that include kosher and vegetarian choices. Housing options include independent living apartments for active seniors, plus assisted living rooms for those who need more daily help, all laid out in a clean, spacious setting with indoor and outdoor gathering areas and private baths. Residents can visit the on-site beautician, take part in off-site activities, and use both free and paid transportation services or catch a ride on public transit, which is nearby. The setup lets seniors keep a social life without too much hassle, since meals and chores are handled, and the surroundings feel more home-like than medical. Culver Meadows AFC gets a rating of 6.5 out of 10, and it doesn't try to look fancy, but it does make an effort to keep things friendly, tidy, and safe for everyone living there.
