The Manor & Villages sits at 725 Baldwin St in Jenison, Michigan, and offers many different living options for older adults, so some folks come for independent living in their own space, some need a bit of help and get assisted living, and some need special care for memory problems like Alzheimer's or dementia, so there's memory care, and there's even skilled nursing and short-term rehab for when someone's been in the hospital but isn't quite ready to go home, and folks can stay as their needs change so they don't have to move every time things change, which is what a continuing care retirement community means, and that can be a real comfort to families. The place also has smaller Board and Care homes out in regular neighborhoods, and those only serve a few people at a time, just to give a more home-like feeling, and over at The Villages part of the community, there are a range of studios, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, and people can add help as they need it, which keeps things simple, and folks living independently can enjoy not worrying about chores while they take part in social activities and use the resort-like amenities that are available, like the woodshop or visiting the Town Square for the Wellness Clinic, where nurses check blood pressure and give a hand with home health, and the General Store is good for picking up little things you might need.
There's a big focus on safety and support for people who need memory care, with secure spaces so no one wanders and staff nearby all the time, and there's always a schedule of memory-friendly activities, and the programs work to keep people engaged, and families seem to appreciate that. The Manor & Villages runs Assisted Living with both studio and suite rooms, each one coming with cable, wireless internet, kitchens, laundry rooms, in-home maintenance, and 24-hour pull cords in case of any emergency, and meals and medication help are part of daily care if you need it, so people can rest a bit easier knowing someone's paying attention. They also have a full-service Beauty Salon, a Chapel for fellowship, a Café with a big meal selection, and the Parlor, which is a freshly updated room with theater seating, billiards, and good spots to watch sports or just visit with friends, and fitness and aquatic centers always seem busy with folks trying to keep active through all seasons. Over in the skilled nursing part, you'll find round-the-clock care for more serious medical needs, including rehab, wound care, and nursing support for folks who've been sick or in the hospital.
The community belongs to a larger group linked with places like Rest Haven Home, St. Ann's Home, Edison Christian Health Center, SKLD Leonard, and others nearby, all of them working together to meet more needs for older folks and their families, and what makes The Manor & Villages stand out is the way everything's set up to make growing older a little easier, from lots of social activities to specialized memory support, and help available as things change. Some people say in reviews that the staff are caring, and the rating is 4.3 out of 6 reviews, which gives a fair idea of what families think, but every experience is different, and it's always best for families to look for themselves to see if the fit feels right.
