Eva's House at Glacier Hills Senior Living Community sits on a 34-acre campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the 48105 zip code and serves older adults who need memory care or extra help with daily activities, and what's kind of nice is that they have a setup where people can feel safe and still enjoy some independence, because everything's designed to keep folks comfortable and secure, with 24-hour call systems, round-the-clock supervision, and wheelchair accessible showers, and the staff includes trained caregivers and on-call registered nurses, so help's always nearby. The memory care unit, called Eva's House, is set up for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there are individualized care plans that get reviewed every month by a licensed nurse, so everyone's needs get attention, and they help with dressing, bathing, laundry, and getting around if that's needed, even down to feeding by spoon if a person has trouble doing it on their own. The staff provides medication management, diabetic care, high acuity care, and doctor check-ups every month which seems to mean residents aren't left on their own when it comes to health concerns, and they've got special nurses and care workers who know how to support folks dealing with memory impairments, and that really helps families feel more at ease, knowing their loved one's in a safe spot.
There are 44 senior apartments at Eva's House, with options for studios, one-bedroom, shared rooms, and two-bedroom apartments, and each one usually comes with housekeeping, kitchens or kitchenettes, private bathrooms, washers and dryers, cable TV, telephone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and they're all built to be accessible if a resident uses a wheelchair or has trouble getting about, plus pets like cats and dogs are allowed, which can make things feel more like home. The entire community has many safety features, including sprinkler systems, handrails, emergency call buttons, and regular maintenance, which gives a sense of security for residents and families alike.
People living there get three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room, and the menu covers special diets-like diabetic, gluten-free, kosher, low/no sodium, vegan, or vegetarian-with meals delivered to rooms if needed, so nobody needs to worry about going hungry or missing their dietary needs. For daily life, there's a bunch of activities available, which can include art classes, fitness programs like yoga or chair yoga, devotional and religious services for many faiths, movie nights in a dedicated viewing area, music, educational speakers, and different community-sponsored get-togethers, meaning weekend or weekday, there's usually something going on, and there are even game rooms, a reading room, salons, a fitness area, gardens, outdoor walking paths, and quiet outdoor porches where people can sit and enjoy the trees. The property also offers transportation, both with their own vehicles and with arranged rides for doctor appointments and outings, which takes some burden off family members.
The campus includes more than Eva's House, with the entire Glacier Hills Senior Living Community offering assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, and a care and rehabilitation center called The Care & Rehabilitation Center (CRC) with an 88-bed skilled nursing facility and even one of only two Aquatic Therapy pools in the area. About 700 employees work at Glacier Hills, which is a not-for-profit organization and affiliated with Trinity Health, and the whole place focuses on giving seniors support for whatever stage they're at, with a continuum of care, plenty of activities, and a focus on making everyday life feel dignified, private, and supported. There's regular housekeeping, laundry and linen service, therapy rooms, expanded visiting hours so families have more time together, and on-site catering for special events. With all that, Eva's House at Glacier Hills might work for someone who wants safety, daily support, and a sense of familiarity in southeastern Michigan, where staff work hard to offer respectful care and many choices for residents in a home-like environment.
