Vicinia Gardens Luxury Retirement Living - Assisted Living sits on both the east and west sides of lower Michigan, and you'll find the community in Fenton where it's got senior apartments and several buildings for different levels of care. Residents can pick from private suites, patio suites, double suites, or rooms with kitchenettes, and there's choices like one-bedroom, two-bedroom, studio units, and apartments where you can bring your own things or use their furnishings. The place covers independent living, assisted living, intermediate care for folks with early- to mid-stage dementia, and a whole memory care facility for seniors living with Alzheimer's or other memory conditions, and there's even a separate building for intermediate care at 4045 Vicinia Way and specialized memory care at 4034 Vicinia Way.
The staff works 24/7 and they're led by a Registered Nurse and Certified Dementia Care Manager, always out on the floor and staying involved so residents feel connected and safe. The place has high security with nurses' call systems, safety cameras, electronic entry, and fire sprinklers and in-room motion detectors, and every suite's got emergency response call buttons. There's a nurse call system and help with medication, and staff supports folks with daily activities like laundry and cleaning if it's needed, and you don't get charged extra for getting help with those daily things or when they distribute medication or run enrichment programs. The apartments and shared spaces stay clean and well-kept, with cozy common rooms, fireplaces, and modern decor sprinkled here and there to make things more comfortable.
The community really leans into offering a safe and home-like environment, even for folks dealing with memory loss, giving people their own private space but still keeping lots of chances for socializing and outings. Residents get three balanced meals and snacks cooked up by a dietitian and the culinary staff, though there were times when some residents wished the meals had more taste or better options for certain diets. There's always a calendar full of activities, from games and movie nights to outdoor walks in the botanical gardens, plus regular outings that neighbors say are well-organized and fun. The grounds stretch out with canopied courtyards, green walkways, and there's outdoor spaces like a putting green, pickleball courts, and an on-site pub, with some apartments looking out onto water, fresh air, and open spaces.
Inside, you'll find a card room, gym, salon, movie theater, and easy wifi access, and each resident can use the washer and dryer in their own apartment. The place does biweekly housekeeping and has full kitchens in many apartments with up-to-date appliances, and everything's kept ready for people who want to cook, socialize in restaurant-style dining, or just relax in smaller lounge areas. It's got a fitness center, game rooms, outdoor sports court, and transportation for folks who need to get to a doctor's appointment or want to shop or go out to a park. It's right near shops, restaurants, parks, and Henry Ford Genesys Hospital, so the setting feels more like a quiet suburb with lakes nearby but close to all the things people might need.
Local owners and staff take care of managing everything, and people who run the place seem committed to personal care, from supporting residents as they age in place to making sure there's activities that keep the mind and body sharp, and programs for folks with dementia and Alzheimer's. All rooms have state-of-the-art safety features, clear house rules, and options for monthly or yearly leases, and downsizing help is available if someone wants a smaller apartment. The community tries to create a balance between giving people privacy and regular support for medical or personal needs, while making room for independence, social time, and the chance to enjoy life in a peaceful setting.
