Grace is a senior living community that runs a program called Grace Home and sits under the license of Hope Network West Michigan, with a location in Grand Rapids. The place is part of CARF International, which means folks running it follow CARF's independent and nonprofit accreditation standards for health and human services, covering spots in Canada and Europe too, with programs ranging from Aging Services to Behavioral Health, Opioid Treatment, Child & Youth Services, Employment & Community Services, Medical Rehabilitation, and Vision Rehabilitation. Grace falls under the Adult Foster Care facility set-up, and is a licensed Adult Small Group Home, so you'll find room for 1 to 6 residents, all in a home designed for safety, with private bedrooms, shared apartments, and plenty of space for people using wheelchairs or needing help getting around.
There's emergency pull cords in the rooms, 24-hour staff for supervision, non-ambulatory care, and medication management. Staff help with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and moving between beds or in and out of chairs, and they keep up with scheduled health checks and ongoing monitoring. Grace Home mainly cares for older adults, folks with Alzheimer's, people who are developmentally disabled, mentally impaired, or have physical handicaps, including those who need special certification for care, like people with traumatic brain injury or diagnosed mental illness. The place has 6 assisted living units and is certified for Developmentally Disabled and Mentally Ill residents.
Meals are served by staff in a well-lit dining hall, and they manage special dietary needs including allergies and diabetes, with all-day dining options. Residents get to enjoy chef-inspired food, private laundry services, housekeeping, and dry-cleaning if needed. There's home maintenance, moving services for new residents, and coordination with doctors and healthcare providers. Complimentary transportation helps with trips around town, and there's a telephone in the community, along with computer access, a movie theater, furnished rooms, outdoor decks, landscaped walking paths, a library, and a community garden where folks sometimes gather. The community runs wellness programs, social gatherings, movie nights, and other activities to keep people busy and connected.
Grace belongs to a system with other group homes and locations like Neo Birdsong, Whitney Home, Willow Lodge Home, Gardner Home, Neo Grand Rapids, Kinney Home, and more, all run by Hope Network DCS. It holds accreditation for a three-year period, and its license for adult small group home care is good from February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2027. With furnished rooms, lots of safety features like emergency alert systems, and help with daily life, Grace takes care of seniors and adults who need a little more help, including those facing challenges due to age, memory loss, disabilities, or illness.
