Covenant Village of the Great Lakes sits on 40 acres with woodlands and wetlands nearby, so you get that country feel while still being close to city services, shopping, parks, and places for good food or live music. The community follows a faith-based mission as a ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church, and offers a full range of care under the Covenant Retirement Communities group. They call themselves a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC, so residents don't have to move if their care needs change. There are options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, respite care, long-term care, and even hospice. They do prefer residents who need light care, but they have support for those who need heavier help too.
Apartments come in many styles like studios, one-bedrooms, deluxe one-bedrooms, and all have patios or balconies, full kitchens, and washers and dryers, which makes for easy living. Pets are welcome, including both cats and dogs. Inside you'll find common rooms where people socialize, a formal dining room, beauty salon, activity and creative art spaces, and a community center that's always hosting something. The fitness studio, heated indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room are there for movement or relaxing. There are gardens and walking paths outdoors, plus secured courtyards for those who might wander. The place stays safe with a silent nurse-call system and non-confining monitoring for extra peace of mind.
Meals are included, with three chef-prepared options a day served at tables, with diet-friendly menus and snacks. A dietitian is around to help with food questions or special needs. Staff stay awake and available day and night, ready to help with things like moving from bed to chair, managing medication, bathing, grooming, and incontinence. Nurses and care aides keep an eye on residents and respond fast when needed. They also offer specialized memory care with reminiscence activities, spiritual chances, and support for those with Alzheimer's or dementia-staff use the CMS "Hand in Hand" training to help residents stay safe and engaged. Rehabilitation therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy help folks regain health or independence after illness or injury.
The property lets folks stay as independent as possible, but has support ready as needs grow. Residents can take part in devotional services, community events, exercise groups, arts, social gatherings, and offsite outings. Transportation comes with the stay, which means getting to appointments or shopping is easier. All residents have access to maintenance-free living, laundry, housekeeping, and parking. Security helps families worry less, and the team at Covenant Village works with both residents and their people to keep everyone involved and comfortable. The quiet woodlands, community gardens, and big open spaces offer room to enjoy fresh air or peaceful walks. Health services include diabetic and incontinence care, respite, general counseling, and services for seniors who aren't able to walk easily. The LifeConnect wellness initiative gathers activities and wellness programs to encourage a balanced life.
Covenant Village accepts Medicare and works with several managed care and Medicare Advantage plans, so residents have more choices for coverage. The focus always stays on safety, comfort, spiritual support, and helping people age in place with dignity.
