Home Sweet Home is a senior living community licensed for up to 90 residents, but some of its small care homes allow just two people to live together, making things more personal and quiet for those who want it, and these places feel much more like a normal house than a big facility, with cozy rooms, painted walls, and warm lighting to help keep everyone calm and comfortable-especially those living with memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's. There are private and semi-private rooms, all fully furnished, and everyone can bring their own photos or personal things to make sure it feels like home, plus the open floor plans help people with walkers or wheelchairs get around more easily and safely, and the whole building is accessible, including showers that are easy to step into.
Residents get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around, and staff are always there to help, day and night, whether someone needs a little assistance or more complex care, including support for diabetes or wound care. Meals are home-cooked and served three times every day, with snacks, kosher meals, and vegetarian options too, and the kitchen can make changes for health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes because keeping people well-fed and healthy is a big focus.
There are all sorts of activities at Home Sweet Home, and people can join in karaoke, gardening clubs, trivia, art classes, wine tastings, or social evening events, and for those interested in staying active, there are fitness classes and Live Well programs, along with wellness plans designed to keep everyone moving and feeling good, and for those who like quieter moments, there's a reading room and outdoor gardens to enjoy views and fresh air. Some homes even have spas, salons, saunas, or a barber shop, and the community often brings in a traveling stylist or hairdresser, which many folks appreciate.
For residents who want to keep up with church, doctor's appointments, or shopping, transportation is provided, and there's support for getting out to devotional services or outings as well, since many people appreciate the chance to go beyond the facility when possible, and for those who like a little privacy, reserved dining spaces are available for family meals or special occasions. Housekeeping and laundry are done for everyone, and grocery or errand help is available, so daily living is less stressful. There are safety features like locked doors for memory care, nurses on staff, and a doctor on call, plus services like podiatry, dental care, and various therapies including physical, occupational, and speech. Staff are trained in senior care, and many live on site, creating a family-like feel, and the community welcomes both women and men (depending on the specific house), but smoking isn't allowed inside.
Home Sweet Home offers board and care homes, assisted living, memory care, independent living, short-term respite care, and hospice care, all under the rules set by Michigan's Department of Social Services, with a license number AS630238207, and several payment options, including private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance, with assisted living starting around $3,000 per month. Some homes sit on nearly an acre with private yards and plenty of room for relaxation. The environment is safe, supervised, and focused on helping seniors stay as independent as possible while getting the support they need, whether it's for daily living, medical help, social activities, or just having someone to talk to.
