Eden Manor

Eden Manor is an independent senior living community for people aged 62 and older, and sometimes for those 55 and better, that tries to give folks a maintenance-free life where they don't have to worry about mowing the lawn or shoveling snow, and there's a bunch of amenities right in the building, like a small convenience store, a beauty and barber salon, and even a mini theater where residents can watch movies together without leaving home, plus several activity rooms for games, crafts, or just visiting, and there's also an outdoor patio and grill where people can gather outside when the weather's warm, so it feels more like a friendly neighborhood than an apartment complex. The community has a pet-friendly policy, so small pets are allowed, and folks don't have to leave their furry friends behind. Eden Manor welcomes residents who qualify for very low income, taking part in the Section 8 (202) housing program, which means most folks pay rent based on about 30% of what they earn each month, so they can keep some money for other needs. The building has one-bedroom floor plans where the rent includes utilities, making it simpler to budget each month, and some of the units and common spaces are designed so residents who use wheelchairs or walkers can move around more easily, with elevators in the multi-floor sections and accessible features throughout. The building has fire alarms and smoke detectors in place, and there's on-site mail delivery so residents don't have to walk far to get their letters or packages, plus a library and a community room for reading or meetings. Eden Manor helps people stay independent as long as possible, giving them help when needed through an on-site service coordinator who can connect residents with personal or public services, so they can continue living on their own, and there's a mix of services and supports, along with community-based programs that try to meet the whole person's needs, not just a few basics, helping people age in place and stay part of their neighborhood. The facility is non-smoking, which is important to some folks, and is managed by National Church Residences and sponsored by Evangelical Homes of Michigan (also known as EHM Senior Solutions). Eden Manor offers a steady place for affordable living where people can feel a sense of family, enjoy some simple comforts, and count on a bit of help if and when they need it.
