Serenity House sits on a rural road outside Byron, Michigan, with space for up to 12 adults, mostly for folks over 55 who need assisted living or Alzheimer's and memory care services, and it's a place where people can choose between private studio or semi-private rooms that get cleaned regularly with laundry and dry-cleaning included. Folks here have simple meal services with special diets like vegetarian, low sodium, or low sugar available three times a day plus snacks, and they'll find communal dining rooms as well as indoor and outdoor common areas with planned activities or devotional services when they're wanted. If someone's diabetic, staff monitor blood sugar and give insulin injections, though they don't do sliding scale therapy, and for those with incontinence, trained workers help with reminders and care, so residents with either bladder or bowel incontinence are looked after.
The memory care section sits in its own secured building with purpose-built space and technology like bracelet alarms for wandering, which keeps residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, even those who might act out or try to leave, safe and comfortable, while an experienced crew handles behavior problems with steady care and patience. Staff remains awake and on duty at all hours, always ready to help with transfers, whether it's a simple one-person lift or a mechanical device, and provide hands-on support with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, or just offering reminders to take medicine-a visiting nurse and therapists like a podiatrist, physical therapist, and even a speech therapist stop in, so care covers both health and safety. There's a beautician right on site and wheelchair-accessible showers, which is handy for folks with mobility needs, plus special programs with distinct names, tailored to keep minds and bodies as active as possible, from social activities to devotional hours, all set up to let people keep their independence while staying safe.
Serenity House also welcomes people for respite care or hospice as needed, and it's licensed for an adult medium group home under number AM780092109, keeping its status active with the State of Michigan under the regular license until October 2026. The facility takes a range of payments, including private pay, military or veteran benefits, and Social Security, but there are fees for entry, levels of care, and extra persons. Residents who need rides can arrange transportation, though sometimes there's a fee, and free transport gets offered for certain services or needs. Folks who want or need devotional services have those options too, both in the house and out in the community, and the setting overall feels private, quiet, and made for people who just want to be comfortable and supported in their later years, even if the schedule of activities changes or isn't packed with options every day. Serenity House also keeps up with its documentation and inspection reports and puts some effort into education about addiction and community reintegration, offering support in that area for those who might need it. The staff-and the programs-aim to give people a good, safe, clean, and respectful place to call home, with as much independence as a person can handle, and neighbors to spend a little time with.
