Stone Ridge Assisted Living and Adult Foster Care sits at 4825 Fruin Road in Bellevue, Michigan, out in the countryside, right on a hill with a front porch and chairs where folks can sit and look out over the fields, and you'll find they've got room for about 18 residents in a large group home that feels homey and clean, and the only thing you usually smell is home-cooked food coming from the kitchen. The staff at Stone Ridge are part-time nurses and dedicated caregivers who help with daily tasks, medication reminders, and keep the place running smoothly with regular housekeeping, laundry, and linen service. The facility offers assisted living, adult foster care, and memory care, trying to make life easier for seniors who need some help but don't need a full nursing home, and families often say it helps them feel better about their loved ones' care without the higher nursing home costs.
The dining room looks and feels like home, and there's communal dining where residents can have guest meals, crafts, and take part in activities that staff help organize based on what folks want to do, with people taking requests for programs, which makes things feel personal. There's a beauty salon onsite, religious and devotional services for those who want them, and an enclosed courtyard that gives a safe spot to enjoy the outdoors. The place offers respite care too, so families can get a break when needed. Residents have their own personalized care plans, and the high staff-to-resident ratio means more one-on-one attention and more chances for real conversations and care, and people have commented that the environment's both comfortable and secure.
Stone Ridge goes through the usual checks by local and state authorities, including the Department of Aging, and sometimes the Department of Veteran's Services, with their license showing they're set up for seniors who need daily help and memory support. You won't find full details about prices online, though the typical cost runs around $275, which people have called affordable, and recent ratings from families and visitors average 4.8 to 5 stars, with reviews mentioning very good care and a friendly, home-like feel. They don't take Medicare unless certified, but the staff can explain what payment is accepted if you ask. It's a quieter place, a bit out of the way but not far from Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital, and many families looking for a clean, caring group environment with a home-cooked meal, crafts, and a safe, nurturing setting consider it, often choosing to take a tour and see the place firsthand before making any decisions.
