Cedar Hill Assisted Living & Senior Housing sits on seven wooded acres right in Bark River, Michigan, and the place feels pretty relaxed with a nice view of the woods and the Bark River itself, so folks living there enjoy a calm setting. The building got a full renovation in 2014, and now there are 20 private rooms with bathrooms and 18 simple senior apartments up on the second floor, all set up with emergency call lights and a non-smoking environment for extra safety. The rooms come furnished if you want, or you can bring your own things, and you get access to a sunroom with a deck that looks out onto the trees, plus big open areas for family-style meals so people can eat together if they choose. The dining room serves homemade meals on a schedule, but all-day dining options mean residents can get a bite when they're hungry, and diets get adjusted for folks with diabetes or allergies.
There's always staff around, 24/7, for help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, and the team supports people if they've got trouble getting around or need non-ambulatory care. Seniors who need memory care, like for Alzheimer's, get specialized help to reduce confusion and keep them safe, especially with emergency alert systems and secure surroundings that help prevent wandering. There's housekeeping and linen service that's based on each resident's care plan, and support with things like telephone use and even move-in coordination to help folks settle in.
Cedar Hill offers all kinds of planned activities and resident-run get-togethers, like movie nights, a mass schedule, exercise classes, walking paths outside, outreach programs, entertainment, and supervised group outings, so it's easy to stay active or just enjoy something new whenever you want. Residents have transportation services if they need a ride to appointments or want to get out in the community. The place also has big common spaces-there's a gym, a barber and salon room, TV rooms, and gardens to spend time in. Health and wellness get a focus here with things like medication coordination, diabetes monitoring, therapies, and work with outside healthcare providers as needed.
The community tries to match care to each person with regular evaluations and personalized plans, so everybody can find the right balance between independence and support. Short stays and respite care are also available for folks who just need a break or help for a little while, and staff give advice to families on more senior living options if longer-term help is needed. Cedar Hill Assisted Living & Senior Housing mainly serves folks over 55 and covers a range of care from independent living to more direct assisted living and Alzheimer's support, aiming to make senior life comfortable, safe, and engaging without feeling overwhelming.
