Thomas F Taylor Towers sits at 36500 Marquette Street in Westland, Detroit, tucked behind the police station and right near the Friendship Center, grocery stores, banks, parks, the library, restaurants, and other shops, so you don't have to walk far to get what you need. Built in 1979, this senior high-rise has 266 one- and two-bedroom apartments, spread over a total of about 152,270 square feet, and is meant for seniors 62 and older or people with mobility impairments, offering low-income and subsidized housing. The building is part of a network providing a range of senior living options, so residents get to pick what suits them best, whether that's independent living with very little fuss or needing more support through assisted living, memory care, or even nursing-level help, and if needed, home care by trained aides.
The Towers has a full-time activity director who offers a steady schedule of outings, social gatherings, and things like educational and entertainment programs to keep minds and bodies active, so nobody really has to sit alone if they don't want to. There's a beauty salon and well-prepared meals, plus pets like cats and dogs are welcome, so folks don't have to leave their companions behind. For those who need extra understanding, there are special environments for people with memory loss, meant to prevent wandering and reduce confusion, and staff help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication if that's needed. People say the staff are helpful, friendly, and kind, which makes for a welcoming community, and residents give it good reviews. Applications and brochures are easy to get at the building's doors, and the office is open weekdays, so visitors and families can stop by to learn more. The Towers keeps a resident-focused approach, offering services and amenities to help seniors live with as much comfort and independence as possible, all while being close to everything needed for daily life.
