Care Cardinal Alger Heights

Care Cardinal Alger Heights sits on 28th Street in Grand Rapids, MI, in a quiet neighborhood and has a cozy, cottage-like feel, and with only about 17 residents, the place feels homey, not crowded, so people get to know each other and the staff well, and you see folks sharing meals in a big dining area or relaxing together in a bright sunroom where families can visit. There's a wooden bridge out back, with a comfortable spot to sit overlooking the creek, and the newly remodeled building has both private and shared rooms, each one furnished, though residents can bring their own familiar items, and the staff help with bathing, taking medicine, laundry, and other daily needs, all day and through the night, since there's medical help on duty 24/7. Care Cardinal Alger Heights holds two state licenses-AL 410384527 and AL 410384528-and offers both assisted living and memory care, including secure dementia care, with programs to help with memory and gentle routines, plus special safety features to keep everyone comfortable. The culture feels like a family, with staff who learn each resident's habits and do their best to offer patience and kindness, and you'll find regular activities, games, and some spiritual services offsite, so there's always a chance to meet new people and take part in something meaningful. Meals are homemade and balanced, with menus that change every day and different diets considered, and when someone needs a ride to the doctor, transportation gets arranged for both assisted living and memory care residents. The atmosphere is meant to be calm and steady, where each person's needs get noticed, with dignity and respect always in mind, and while the facility has a 3.5-star average over a couple of online reviews, Care Cardinal Alger Heights focuses less on being fancy and more on helping everyone feel safe, known, and comfortable as they go about their days.
