Sunny Shores Afc Home sits on the edge of Little Bay de Noc in Gladstone, Michigan, where residents get a nice beach view from a large, covered deck and can walk around an enclosed courtyard or landscaped gardens, which is calming for a lot of seniors. The house handles up to six people at a time, so it feels more like a home, and it's got a mix of single bedroom units, studio suites, and shared apartments, all fully furnished with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and air-conditioning, plus telephone, internet, and cable. It's got a family feel, and the staff stays awake and on call 24/7, offering help with moving around, mealtime assistance, housekeeping, laundry, and bathroom cleaning, so residents don't have to worry about chores or complex daily tasks. There's medication management, individual care plans, physical therapy services, and support for people with diabetes, incontinence, limited movement, Alzheimer's, or just those needing extra daily help, and the home's licensed for aged, Alzheimer's, and physically handicapped folks, with license number AF210269196 and another reference of AF210392184, so it's above board when it comes to Michigan rules.
Residents get three homemade meals plus snacks, and the staff can cater to special dietary needs or offer dining help as needed, so no one's left out. There's a full-time activity director keeping things lively with art classes, games in the dedicated game room, movie nights in the on-site theater, field trips, and educational or social events both on and off-site, so everyone can stay connected and find something to do. The home also offers onsite devotional services and a chapel, and there's a beauty salon and hair salon, which is handy. For folks who like staying connected, there are computers, and for those who like being outdoors but safe, the courtyard's fully enclosed. Residents can park their cars, and the inside areas have shared common rooms where people gather. If there's any kind of emergency, the staff and built-in in-room response systems are ready any time of the day or night.
All care is handled by trained staff, with an emphasis on giving each resident the attention and support they need, so it's not one-size-fits-all. Maintenance and home repairs are managed, too, so there's nothing extra to manage. Regular inspection reports are offered for review, and the home stays up to date with all required licensing, with its latest running from September 2024 to September 2026. The whole place is operated by John Fukey, keeping things steady for seniors who want a safe community, plenty of support, and a beachfront view in a quiet family home setting.
