Heritage Hills Association is a gated, resident-owned community for people aged 55 and older, sitting just north of Oakland University at the northeast corner of Squirrel and Tienken Roads, and it's made up of 281 site condominiums where folks can live with a focus on community and residential comfort, so you'll find homes with handy features like a finished basement, a two-car attached garage with an epoxy floor, hardwood floors in the living and dining areas, a gas fireplace and a wood stove for cozy evenings, as well as a large master suite with two closets, a bay window, and its own full bathroom, plus there's a first-floor laundry with washer and dryer, and a big unfinished basement if you want more storage or a space you might finish later, with extras like a heated Florida Room that looks onto the backyard. People can enjoy an active, resort-style setting with a clubhouse that's 7,000 square feet, a pool, hot tub, tennis courts, a putting green, a fitness center, pathways for walking, and well-kept grounds with natural scenery and trails, all in a place with 24/7 security at the gate.
The community is set up to give support at several levels, so if you need independent living, assisted living, memory care, or even a nursing home setup because of more serious needs, they've got that covered for people in and around Grand Rapids, Sterling Heights, Rochester Hills, Lansing, Troy, Bloomfield, and Madison Heights, and the homes give a place for small groups of folks to live with daily care, so it feels pretty home-like and everyone's got a chance to age in place, getting more support as needed. There's help with daily things like bathing, dressing, medication, meals, laundry, housekeeping, and even move-in help if you want, with staff on hand day and night and a call system for safety, and specialized help for Alzheimer's and dementia is also there with 24-hour support and memory programs.
The social life is lively, with a full-time Manager and Director of Activities planning things like bingo, bridge, euchre, poker, crafts, fitness classes, sewing groups, and book discussions, plus themed parties and outings to places like theaters and attractions using the community's 14-passenger bus, so there's always something to join in, and the clubhouse brings neighbors together for meals, games, movie nights, and card games. Dining's easy with all-day, restaurant-style meals made by professional chefs, including options for diabetes or allergies, and you can always join in for pool exercise, bocce, tennis, card groups, or just a walk through the trails by about 100 acres of protected wetlands full of birds and wildflowers. The streets are well lit, it's handy for strolling, and you'll find lawn mowing and snow removal taken care of so it's less to worry about, and overall, Heritage Hills keeps a neighborhood feeling where it's easy to make friends and find company, with amenities focused on both care and keeping folks active and connected as they want to be.
