Zachary is a small, licensed adult group home that sits in a single-family ranch house built in 2000, with room for up to six residents at a time, and it closed on July 31, 2022. The house has paved road access, a fenced yard, and a three-car garage, plus a patio, porch, and deck outside, with wheelchair access in place. Inside, the living spaces use a mix of ceramic tile and carpet floors, and there's a skylight for natural light. The main living area is open-concept, and rooms have cathedral ceilings and ceiling fans for comfort, along with central air and forced air heat. Residents could have private suites or shared rooms, and each has storage, dual closets in bedrooms, and private bathrooms, with kitchenettes included in living spaces. There's a basement with daylight, partial finishing, and a walk-out entry, which includes laundry space, and the house has safety features like a sump pump. The home had both telephone and internet service, cable television, and allowed for residents to bring familiar items to personalize rooms.
The community offers maintenance-free living without cooking, cleaning, or home upkeep. Meals are prepared daily, with special options for allergies, diabetes, or personal dietary needs. Assisted living services include support with daily routines, grooming, mobility, medication reminders and management, and personal care needs around the clock. Staff provided help with bathing, dressing, and medication, coordinated with outside healthcare providers when needed, and supervised residents 24 hours a day. Residents had access to social activities, group or individual enrichment, movie nights, and walking paths, all aim to keep life engaging. Transportation, parking, and move-in coordination were available, along with laundry and housekeeping. The house supported those who needed help moving or non-ambulatory care, and ensured all spaces were wheelchair accessible and easy to get around. Respite care was available for short-term stays, offering relief for caregivers. Pricing started at $3,889 a month. Zachary was run by Adult Learning Systems-Lower Michigan, serving adults, including those living with mental illness, and it aimed to provide support in a comfortable, homelike setting.
