Morley Manor Cooperative Inc. sits in Dearborn, Michigan, right by Ford Field Park, close to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, which means folks can take a walk to shops, restaurants, doctors' offices, and churches if they want, and the building stands thirteen stories tall with 200 units for people aged 55 and older who want to own an equity share and be part of a not-for-profit cooperative corporation, so every resident gets a say through their vote and can join committees like the house or garden committee, and the Board of Directors comes straight from the co-op members, which helps with community decisions and keeps things fair and reliable, with updated common areas where people can find a parlor, billiards room, workshop, library, chapel, social hall, and a big dining hall, plus a swimming pool and fitness center, and some people really like the views over Dearborn from the higher floors. Residents there handle their own lives mostly, but some do get part-time help during the day if they need it, and things are set up for safety since there are sprinklers, wheelchair accessible features, and a strong focus on security. People can use guest parking, laundry rooms, and dry cleaning services, and each unit has cable TV, WiFi, and a kitchen or kitchenette, plus monthly maintenance fees take care of snow removal, gardening, electricity, heat, and water, and the maintenance staff helps keep the place running. There's a salon and barbershop, transportation services if you need to get around, and both independent and assisted living options, though the place isn't a full assisted living facility, just sometimes calls in personal care assistants for folks who need them. Residents share ownership through Membership Certificates, and there's always good involvement, with resident committees organizing activities like arts and crafts, games, education, and health programs. The community stays lively, with memory care available along with chances to use the activity room, fitness center, and social spaces, and people often comment on how the cooperative way keeps units in high demand, especially two-bedroom ones, sometimes with waitlists, and it all runs under Beanstalk Real Estate Solutions. The co-op also has easy access to restaurants, cafes like Qahwah House, Starbucks, and Tim Hortons, pharmacies, medical offices, and nearby parks, with a hospital just around the corner in case anyone needs emergency care, so folks find a balance of ownership, shared responsibility, comfort, and convenience in a place that aims for safety, social connections, and active living.
Quiet, affordable, but toxic management
I live in this 55+ independent-living co-op - quiet, reasonably priced with utilities included, a handy community center on the first floor, and a waiting list for two-bedrooms. But there's no assisted living, on-site staff are limited and often belligerent, security is restrictive, and petty rules (and $500 fines), biased board decisions, threatening letters and inconsistent enforcement create a hostile, cliquish atmosphere run by long-term residents. If you want low cost and solitude it's good value, but expect management favoritism, difficult pet rules and a lot of red tape.
