Meadow Lane Adult Foster Care sits in Berrien Springs, MI, and includes several small, home-like assisted living communities scattered across town, each licensed by the State of Michigan, serving groups as small as 6 and as large as 12 seniors. Each location keeps things personal and calm, focusing on making sure everybody gets the help they need, whether it's bathing, dressing, or remembering to take their medicine, and staff are always around for support day and night if someone needs help with transferring out of bed, moving about, or dealing with medical needs. Every place is set up like a real home with sunny rooms, warm living areas for folks to gather, and even some outdoor spots for gardening and walking around when the weather is nice. Residents get three meals a day, plus help with special diets like if they've got diabetes or allergies, and people help out with doing laundry and housecleaning so everyone has time to do things they enjoy, whether that's joining movie nights, gardening, or taking little trips into town to visit parks, cafes, or wineries.
Each house has its own license and address-there's 6-person homes at 5029 W Bluffview Drive, 8904 George Avenue, 2689 E Snow Road, 201 S Main Street, and 4669 Lisa Lane, plus an 11-person home at 3611 E Snow Road and a 12-person place at 9084 Garr Road-so each group stays small and close-knit, with caregivers who learn all about what each resident prefers and needs. There's plenty to keep residents active, with scheduled day activities and community events, and staff encourage people to help with simple household chores if they're able so they can stay busy and feel at home. The homes are fully furnished, cable TV and WiFi comes standard, and everything is wheelchair-friendly. If someone needs short-term care for just a week or so, respite stays are an option too, and the adult foster care license makes it possible to help not only older adults but sometimes folks living with developmental disabilities or mental illness, depending on the location. Health and well-being get a lot of attention, with medication management, emergency alert systems, and coordination with doctors all part of life here, and everything is operated with a focus on dignity and respect, so everyone keeps their sense of autonomy and comfort in a space that feels inviting and real, like a place someone's lived in for years. Some locations, like the home at Meadow Lane AFC licensed under AS110353244, specifically serve people with developmental disabilities or mental illness until their closure date in fall 2024. With steady care, friendly staff, and a quiet setting, Meadow Lane Adult Foster Care provides daily support and tries to make sure folks feel valued, safe, and comfortable as they grow older.
