The Sugarbush House

The Sugarbush House sits on a modern five-acre property in the Western Hills part of Flint Township, and it holds up to six full-time assisted living residents, which gives things a close, home-like feeling, and people say you can tell staff take time to know everyone well. The place has a main courtyard in the middle of the home that lets in natural light, and the living room has tall floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on a blooming apple orchard so you always feel connected to the outdoors, and there are plenty of comfortable chairs placed around for when you want to sit or talk with neighbors. Bedrooms are large and some folks share their room, but each one comes with its own bathroom, complete with colorful tiles and helpful features, so you've got privacy too. There's a ceiling-mounted projector for movies, and activities take place indoors and outdoors, as the weather allows. Meals are made by chefs who plan for balance and nutrition, and you get three meals each day, plus snacks and beverages. Staff help with dressing, bathing, checking medicine, laundry, and cleaning your room, and services include respite care for folks who need a short stay, hospice support if health changes, and transportation you can use for a cost. The whole house tries to follow a model where people's dignity, independence, and self-worth come first, and pretty much everything is planned by talking with residents to see what they want-whether that means the group or each person, so it always feels like your own home. The price includes most things you might need day to day, which is helpful for planning. The Sugarbush House also serves people with memory care needs, like Alzheimer's or dementia, so there are special care plans and activities that aim to help folks stay engaged, and staff are known for being friendly, helpful, and kind to residents and guests alike. The place is licensed under State License AS250306415, and it covers healthcare needs like high acuity care, diabetic care, incontinence support, and help for those who aren't able to walk on their own. There's parking for residents, showers with wheelchair access, full tubs, and a visiting beautician for people who want it. All together, The Sugarbush House focuses on letting people keep as much independence as they can, while always having help close by when needed.
