American House Westland Joy

American House Westland Joy sits off Joy Road, surrounded by woods which make the place peaceful and quiet, so seniors can really enjoy some calm. The community offers private apartments where folks can pick one or two bedrooms, and most have kitchens, big living rooms, and their own private baths, with some even having patios or balconies if someone likes to sit outside. Residents can get independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and even hospice care, so a person can stay even if their needs change over time, and staff are always around if someone needs help. Many people like the community dining room where meals come out restaurant-style three times a day, or they spend time in spaces like the cozy fireplace lounge, a reading room, and a media room with movie nights and comfy seats. Activities fill the social calendar, letting residents join in games, outings, or devotional services, all run by an activities director, and folks can bring along their pets since the place is pet-friendly. Services like housekeeping, laundry, medication help, transportation, and even a beauty parlor take day-to-day chores off the residents' plates, and the whole place is non-smoking inside, which some seniors appreciate, especially with medical facilities like St. Mary Mercy Livonia and Garden City Hospital nearby when anyone needs a doctor. The staff offers help with daily needs, but also lets people live with privacy and as much independence as they want. Handy resources and printable guides are available for anyone who wants to learn about costs or different care options, and they have home care services staffed by trained aides, plus respite care for short stays, which families find useful during recovery or caregiver breaks. The buildings have handicap accessibility, and there's parking and transportation for residents and visitors alike, with plenty of community spaces for relaxing, meeting friends, or just enjoying the wooded views from a quiet balcony.
