Karen's Kare House sits on a quiet street in a ranch-style home in Fraser, Michigan, managed by Purple Door, LLC, and run by Karen Williams, offering care for up to five residents with a regular adult foster care license. People like that the home offers a peaceful, family-style environment, and many seniors feel comfortable there because it's smaller than a big facility, giving it a more private and cozy feeling with a 2-to-5 caregiver to resident ratio, which helps everyone get personal attention. The home is focused mainly on Alzheimer's and dementia care, with staff around all day and night to help with everything from walking, transfers, eating, toileting, bathing, grooming, medication management, diabetic care, and incontinence help, following care plans so nothing falls through the cracks. They've got their own approach called "Kare House" for their services and use a scoring system based on reviews, which has given them a strong community rating of 9.8 out of 10-ranking highest out of 17 communities in Clinton Township and 32nd out of 1,246 in Michigan. The home offers both long-term and respite care, so families can find short-term or ongoing help, and they support people with Alzheimer's, seniors who are aged, and folks with developmental disabilities too, all under one roof. Residents get three balanced meals and snacks every day, with diabetic-friendly and vegetarian options, and the kitchen staff adjusts meals as needed. They've also got a beautician coming in to help with hair and grooming, and cable is included for those who want to watch their favorite shows.
The house has both indoor and outdoor spaces where people can sit, talk, or join activities, and they try to keep everyone involved through on-site and off-site activities that fit different interests and keep up spirits, with programs for staying sharp and socially engaged, including devotional services for those who want spiritual support. Memory care is the main focus and families find comfort knowing the staff uses individual care plans and activities made to support cognitive health and daily routines. Folks who live here usually value the quiet neighborhood and the home's efforts to be clean, safe, and welcoming, with a goal of having everyone feel like they belong and can relax. Kare House gives seniors a chance to live peacefully with help when they need it while keeping their independence as much as possible. The staff helps residents with daily tasks, mobility, and any healthcare needs, bringing a sense of order and care, and they're trained to provide disease-specific support, including for Alzheimer's, dementia, and diabetes, with a doctor on call if needed. Families say the rooms and shared areas are always clean, and care instructions are followed closely. They accept private pay and want to keep care affordable and accessible for families in the area. This place works best for those looking for a small, homey care option with staff who know each resident well and can help with both health and daily living in a quiet setting.
