Grand Woods Senior Apartments sits in a quiet, wooded part of Southeast Grand Rapids with shops, malls, restaurants, and golf nearby, and it's close enough to town that family can visit easily but it still feels pretty private surrounded by trees. Managed by Continental Management, the community has apartments for seniors aged 55 and older, offering both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units which come with a full-size kitchen, a modern bathroom, ample closets, and a patio or balcony for each apartment, which is especially nice when you want some fresh air or to sit outside with a cup of coffee, and if someone wants more space there are roomy corner units too. Rent averages about $1,095 a month and includes utilities, so that's one less thing to keep track of. The apartments themselves are maintenance-free, with property managers and full-time staff on-site to address repairs or questions, and the whole facility's been recently renovated which keeps things comfortable and up-to-date.
There's a variety of care and services, whether someone likes to live independently or needs help with daily activities, since they offer independent living, assisted living, memory care, adult day services, long-term skilled nursing, and even in-home care, so people don't have to move out if their care needs change over time. Folks who need hospice care or Medicare-Certified home health care can get that too, and the same goes for non-medical home care services. For seniors with dementia, there are specialized memory care services, and there's also an adult day program for those who just need support during the day.
The place is pet friendly, and dogs or cats are welcome. Smoking isn't allowed in apartments or public indoor spaces, which helps keep things comfortable and safe for everyone. For getting around, there's a community shuttle with weekly van rides to grocery stores and restaurants, so trips to town aren't a problem. There's a full-time activities director who organizes outings and programming, and shared spaces include a spacious dining room, a cozy library, craft room, exercise room, beauty salon, game room, convenience store, chapel, and a coffee bistro with a TV, giving people plenty of places to gather or spend time on hobbies, and there's a welcoming lobby with a fireplace where folks like to sit and chat with neighbors or family.
Grand Woods has an overall 4.0-star rating from reviews and they've earned a SeniorAdvisor.com award for high ratings from residents and their families in the past. They direct services to match all kinds of support, so whether someone values privacy and independence or needs daily personal care and support due to health changes or memory issues, they can find the right level of help. Restaurant-style dining is available, and there are regular events and outings. Seniors can practice religious beliefs in the chapel or reflect quietly. The apartments and shared spaces are designed for comfort but not fancy, with the basics covered and a focus on making daily living easier. There's always something happening but no pressure to join in. Grand Woods Senior Apartments suits people who want options for living arrangements, care, and activities, with everyday conveniences close by in a setting that's both active and peaceful at the same time.
