Twin Doves Adult Foster Care, also known as Twin Doves Specialized Residential, sits in Van Buren County and offers long-term assisted living for up to six residents at a time, providing an environment that's both small and supportive, where staff know every resident and can focus on what each person actually needs, and with shared living quarters, single bedroom units, and studio apartments, folks have options for privacy or companionship as they prefer. The facility's licensed by the state of Michigan under license number AF800328155 and provides care not only for seniors but also for individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, traumatic brain injuries, or physical handicaps, and it's been in operation since at least September 3, 2023, with a license set to last until September 2, 2025. Twin Doves has six private rooms, fully furnished and set up for each resident's comfort, with amenities like cable or satellite TV, telephones, high-speed internet, a dining room, a library section, garden space, movie nights, chapel services, and a snack shop, along with designated smoking and non-smoking zones so people can be comfortable in their own ways.
Care at Twin Doves goes beyond just basic meals and cleaning, though staff handle three home-cooked meals per day-with both scheduled meals and all-day dining, plus options for diabetics or anyone who needs a special diet-and help out with laundry, housekeeping, and transportation for errands or medical visits several times a week, weather permitting. Residents get help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication management, and other activities of daily living, and for people who need extra attention or care, including those with Alzheimer's or other mental health conditions, staff are there around the clock to supervise and ensure safety, with emergency alert systems in place and regular health monitoring. The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by CMS, but it often costs less than a full-time nursing home, with rates starting at $3,980 per month, and offers respite care for folks who only need a short-term stay.
Residents can take part in organized activities like group movie nights, wellness programs, fitness, outdoor walking paths, and daily community events, which can help everyone feel less lonely and more engaged with others. Twin Doves allows pets, has on-site parking for visitors, offers massage services, home health services, and even arranges for outside beautician and barber visits. Staff speak English and support people in a coed environment, always maintaining privacy, respect, and dignity for every resident, following a strict code of ethics, and putting special focus on supporting independence and personal growth-even helping residents pursue their own goals or follow treatment and behavior plans. Operated by Rick Hernandez, with over twenty-one years in adult foster care, the facility keeps up full compliance with all state regulations, always aiming to create a calm, inviting, and safe home where residents are treated as individuals and given room to grow, relax, and truly feel at home.
