      Compassionate staff, inadequate memory care

      I appreciated the kind, patient and professional staff, the clean, home-like setting, delicious healthy meals, nice outdoor spaces, regular family communication and flexible visiting - nurses were generally responsive and meds well managed. However, the place seemed somewhat short-staffed, offered few activities, and proved ill-equipped for advanced memory care (we experienced incontinence and safety incidents and had to move my mother out within a week); there was also an administrative issue with the security deposit. I would recommend Birchwood for compassionate, small-home care for seniors without complex dementia needs.

      About Birchwood Living

      Birchwood Living sits on the west side of Ann Arbor, set back on just over an acre in a quiet residential neighborhood about a mile from I-94 and four miles from the University of Michigan Hospital, which makes it convenient for families and doctor visits. The home serves up to six adults and is licensed as an adult foster care facility for older adults, people living with Alzheimer's, and those with developmental disabilities, so you'll see a mix of residents with different needs. The facility is run by Assisted Living, LLC, and holds license #AS810333283, which stays active from October 2023 through October 2025, so everything's current and regular under state rules.

      Birchwood Living has six private bedrooms, each one generously sized with curtains, blinds, a ceiling fan, a 32-inch flat-screen TV, and a large closet, making things feel homey and comfortable. Bathrooms are shared, spacious, and easy to get around in, with handicap-accessible showers and sinks, and there's a therapeutic walk-in jetted tub in some bathrooms, which can help folks with mobility issues or sore muscles. Residents have two spacious living rooms for relaxing, each with a large TV, and there's wireless internet throughout, so people can stay connected. Meals here come prepared to match dietary needs, and the dining room is open and bright, letting everyone look out at the backyard while they eat.

      Birchwood Living provides 24-hour care, with help available for personal needs, medicine management through a computerized system, and support for daily activities like hygiene and getting dressed. The staff sets up regular activities, both onsite and offsite, so residents have ways to socialize, enjoy routines, and join in clubs or special events if they feel like it. The home has both indoor and outdoor shared spaces, and for those who enjoy extra care, there's a full-service salon on site for weekly appointments. Birchwood Living takes a private pay structure and primarily serves English-speaking residents, with a focus on people who want a small, quiet place as they age. The house is set up to support people who want as much independence as possible, while giving help where and when it's needed, with both assisted living and memory care as well as short-term respite stays. The atmosphere feels home-like and easygoing, and the care team pays attention to individual needs and comfort.
