My Home Sweet Home sits in a quiet neighborhood at 24290 Farmington Rd in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and it's a small group home with room for six people, most of whom get private rooms with half baths so there's some privacy even while having some company close by; now you'll find staff who are kind and caring, with at least two helpers during the day and one at night, making sure someone's always around to help, whether it's with everyday things like bathing and meals or with more complex needs. The food's homemade, always smells good, and they keep the place clean so family and visitors always feel welcome to stop by, which they do often, and it never feels closed off.
The house offers care for people who are older, have Alzheimer's disease, developmental disabilities, mental illness, traumatic brain injuries, or physical challenges, so the staff know how to look after folks at many stages of health, including those needing Memory Care or High Acuity Care, and they don't turn away those who move into hospice since they want to keep people comfortable and cared for as needs change. Meals are provided and there are nurses and doctors on call, with podiatrist visits too if someone gets foot troubles now and then, while the setup of the home, with indoor common areas, makes it easy for people to get together and chat, making the place feel friendly.
The activities are simple but folksy-there's bingo, crafts, music now and then, and young people from the church might come by, so it's lively without being overwhelming, and because the environment is so congenial, most residents get along well, even those who might have some memory trouble or need a little extra help. The way they run things is calm and respectful, letting people keep as much independence as they can while making sure support is there-no fuss, just honest attention to what each resident needs day to day, and no one's left sitting alone unless that's truly what they want.
