Simmons Home sits at 444 32nd Street in Holland, MI 49423, and is an adult small group home for up to five residents, licensed under Michigan license # AS030312249 with its license active through October 7, 2025, and started back up on October 8, 2023, and it's a regular status community that's pretty steady and not a big one. The place runs under a structure where each service has its own term, so someone coming in for help-whether that's assisted living, recovery, help for dementia, Alzheimer's, or even Parkinson's disease-gets care called by specific names, and the staff uses special Simmons Home language to keep things clear to residents and their families. Simmons Home sets up personalized care plans and actually can help with things like toileting and incontinence, help with eating, and offers manual feeding if someone struggles. You'll find four assisted living units, some that are well-equipped studios or semi-private rooms, and some furnished, along with other shared spaces for the community. Every room has WiFi and cable TV, and some have high definition TVs in them, plus phone lines if needed.
For safety, the place is locked up with 24/7 security and emergency pull cords, so each resident's room has its own alert system, and the staff are always awake and around if anyone needs anything, and RN health assessments happen regularly. The staff handles medication management and assists with daily living, like bathing, dressing, transferring, and general supervision, day or night. Simmons Home is also part of MI Recovery, so there's a full coverage for people with substance use or needing addiction recovery-there are programs and therapy for that. There's care for people who are developmentally disabled or mentally ill or who just need a safe space to live with some independence, but not all by themselves. They do diabetes monitoring, and there's service so residents don't have to go places in the building alone, plus doctor visits and regular health checks. The menu meets dementia-friendly guidelines, and special dietary restrictions are no problem, so meals are managed both for health and comfort, and mealtime help is there if needed.
The building itself is made for people who might have trouble getting around, with ADA bathrooms and reminder signs, an outdoor deck, safe paths for walking or jogging, and a bright community kitchen and private dining room for eating together or apart depending on what a resident wants. There's parking for visiting family members and transportation for getting to doctor appointments or errands. Fun isn't forgotten with community bingo, cards, movie nights, parties, arts and crafts, and even a small theatre and garden for a breath of air and gentle exercise. The barbershop comes into the home, and fall prevention classes try to keep everyone safe. Laundry and housekeeping are covered, and all utilities too. Simmons Home aims to feel homelike, offering residents a balance between staying independent and still having the help that's really needed. Staff are multilingual, so English is mainly spoken, but there's understanding if someone has special communication needs. The activities and personalized service plans create some routine and dignity, while move-in help makes the transition less stressful for new residents. Residents participate in community-led events and get both space to themselves and the chance to connect with others, which encourages comfort, safety, and support in daily life.
