Birch Run Fields Assisted Living sits at 12160 Ulmer Rd. in Birch Run, Michigan, less than 25 miles north of Flint, in a small village setting with a homelike feel and plenty of natural light, and the place always stays clean and inviting, with rooms that are either private or semi-private, all furnished and set up to make residents comfortable. The community serves people from Howell, Brighton, Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and throughout Michigan, and it's licensed by the state as an Adult Large Group Home, with room for 13 to 20 residents and 20 licensed beds. The facility helps seniors and adults who need care for Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury, physical handicaps, developmental disabilities, and mental illness, offering specialized certifications, and it gives a range of services for people who need help with things like transfers, bathing, dressing, and medication management, all under 24-hour supervision from a caring staff. Residents have a call system in their rooms in case of emergencies and the community arranges help with medical appointments, transportation, and coordination with healthcare providers when needed.
You'll find wheelchair accessible areas throughout, peaceful gardens, outdoor patios, walking paths, and a community garden, plus common rooms like an arts room and spaces for movie nights and social activities. The place keeps things lively with a full-time activities director, field trips, housekeeper services, daily events, and both community-sponsored and resident-led activities, so residents always have something to do or look forward to each day. There's a beauty salon onsite, laundry and dry cleaning, and plenty of guest meal options, which means friends or family can visit and eat with residents. Dining rooms with all-day dining choices, kitchenettes, and meals that cater to special diets like diabetes or allergies show how they try to meet everyone's needs, and they take care of cleaning, linens, and laundry. The staff emphasizes dignity and respect, caring for each person based on their habits and health, and works to keep the rooms furnished and the atmosphere welcoming and familiar. The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless there's a specific certification, so most residents pay privately, with the cost usually less than full-time nursing care. Birch Run Fields Assisted Living offers both long-term care and short-term respite stays, standing out as a licensed site where families can find supervision, community, and peace of mind. With a 3.8 score from family reviews, the place attracts people looking for assisted living and memory care with compassionate attention, and it's been recognized with Best of Senior Living awards for service that highlights individualized help and a comfortable, home-like life.
