Assisted Living Options in Grand Rapids

The level of assistance varies greatly in this type of living community, but generally is designed for seniors who are no longer able to live on their own safely but do not require the higher level of care provided in a nursing home. Assisted Living options in Grand Rapids are offered on a spectrum that ranges from independent living to skilled long-term care.

In many facilities, residents live in private apartments or rooms but receive care tailored to their level of ability.

Services may be as simple as meals and housekeeping, but could also include more extensive care such as dressing, bathing, monitoring medications and transportation for appointments and scheduled activities.

These communities usually have medical personnel assisting with medication administration, dressing, bathing, and social activities. They normally have Levels of Care that offer a variety of extra services. The Levels of Care indicate an additional monthly fee from the base price.

Most assisted living facilities serve residents through hospice and end-of-life. Depending on the services they provide, assisted living facilities are not necessarily licensed in Michigan. Medicare cannot be used to pay for assisted living.
