Kearsley Manor sits in Flint, Michigan, on a property built back in 1969, and offers senior apartments and living services for adults aged 55 or 62 and older, depending on the type of care needed, and has 110 units made up of studio and one-bedroom apartments, most with full kitchens, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, bathtubs, and emergency pull cords if anyone needs help; some apartments are wheelchair-friendly too. The building is six stories, spread over 48,000 square feet, and residents can choose view-facing units, enjoy free cable channels, and know gas, water, electricity, and TV are part of the rent, which makes budgeting easier. There's a wide range of services here, like independent living, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and assisted living support for things like dressing or bathing, housekeeping, help with laundry, one or two meals each day in the dining area, medication management, and a HUD Services Coordinator who can help navigate certain programs. The Evergreen Health Services are also available, and if someone needs more medical support, Collins Home Nursing Services and hospice care can come in from the community.
People can keep pets, whether dogs or cats, if they make a deposit, and there's both resident and guest parking, elevators so stairs are never an issue, as well as good access to public transit for folks who don't drive anymore. Folks have access to indoor and outdoor common spaces to chat, relax, or join in on social, recreational, and holiday activities-there's a game room stocked up, a fitness room, a covered picnic area, an on-site beautician, devotional services, and even meeting rooms for small gatherings. Laundry is coin-operated and the building has tight security, building maintenance, and emergency pull cords for peace of mind. The staff are friendly and trained to help people safely transfer with lifts if they're not over 25 pounds, and will help keep public spaces neat and safe. There's a real focus on making things comfortable and simple-many of the comforts of home are right here, and the community is set up to support friendships, social activities, and a good amount of privacy for people who want to stay as independent as possible while still having help nearby if they need it. The community may also be part of a broader continuing-care setup, which means residents might have easier access to nursing care if needs change. Meals are served on-site, guests can join for special occasions, and the apartments are designed with seniors in mind, with easy-access bathrooms and all the basics provided. Kearsley Manor gives older adults a secure, easy-to-navigate living environment, plenty of opportunities to have company or some quiet time, and various support levels to let folks age in place safely if they wish.
