Carter Country Homes

Carter Country Homes offers several small family care homes in the Holly, Michigan area, mainly in the 48442 zip code where you'll find around 22,000 residents, and the group includes places with names like Malta House, Kurtz Home, Tamarack CLF, The Director's House, Wildwood Home, Carters Country Home, Carters White House, and Horton Home, so you can see they've got a few different settings but each one's focused on providing residential care for seniors aged 55 and up, who make up about a quarter of the community. At the main address, 9820 Milford Rd, residents find Carter's Country Homes Haven, which is a licensed Adult Small Group Home for one to six people, offering a homelike environment and a calm setting that feels comfortable with daily routines. They serve folks with a range of needs, including those who are aged, have Alzheimer's, developmental disabilities, mental illness, or who are physically handicapped. Their care options cover a mix of assisted living, residential care, home healthcare, respite care for short-term stays, and hospice support, with 24-hour supervision and help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers. Their staff, often called supportive and approachable, try to make residents feel noticed and supported while also offering meal plans that focus on nutrition and taste, prepared by experienced chefs who can handle special diets for allergies or diabetes, and meals are served all day. The homes are fully furnished with private and semi-private rooms, some with telephones and Wi-Fi, and everyone gets housekeeping, linen changes, and organized activities, like movie nights, garden walks, or group meals in the dining room. Transportation is available for medical appointments or errands, and there's parking for those who need it. The small group home structure caps at six residents so the place never feels crowded, and the team makes sure the health needs and personal preferences of each resident get attention, working with healthcare providers as needed. Each location is licensed with the state, currently through October 2025, and focuses on affordability, especially for middle-income families, as their rates are often lower than nursing homes, though they don't take Medicare unless certified. Every home tries to keep things simple and comfortable, helping residents stay independent while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and included in a community that values dignity, familiar routines, and daily social opportunities.
