Ascension Health AFC

Ascension Health Afc is a licensed Adult Small Group Home located in Grand Rapids, MI, serving seniors and adults who need long-term care, including aged individuals, people with physical handicaps, developmental disabilities, or mental illness, and it has a capacity for 1-6 residents, which keeps the setting small and personal, allowing for attentive, individualized care, and people choosing to live here get help with things like mealtime assistance, toileting, bathing, dressing, and transferring, and there is extra support for residents who need respite care, help managing medications, diabetic and incontinence care, and services for Parkinson's disease. The home has private and shared rooms, one-bedroom suites, studio apartments, and all are fully furnished, with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, telephones, internet and cable, and the housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are all taken care of, so residents don't need to worry about chores or home repairs. There are meals prepared on a schedule, with special diets offered for those with allergies or diabetes, and all-day dining options are available, so people have choices about when and what they eat, and there's a community kitchen, café, chapel, arts and crafts room, reading section, and common areas where residents can gather, play games, and take part in activities. The facility has 24-hour supervision, with staff available for help with daily living tasks and medication management, conducting routine health checks, and providing an emergency response system in each room for safety. Residents can join devotional activities, movie nights, offsite trips, and other events planned to support social, physical, and emotional well-being, and the small community size makes it easier for staff to know each person and their needs, which can bring families some peace of mind. Transportation and parking are provided, so outings and appointments aren't a problem, and all services focus on giving ongoing support in a home-like place that's cost-effective compared to full-time nursing home care, but doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Ascension Health Afc aims to provide both care and comfort for adults who can't or shouldn't live alone, and it stands as both an assisted living and residential care home in Kent County.
