Cornerstone House, located at 22722 M-43 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is a licensed Adult Small Group Home that can serve 1 to 6 residents at a time and has six licensed beds in a comfortable, home-like setting where seniors get care and support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, so families can have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are cared for; the place isn't like a big facility but feels more like a true home, with furnished living spaces and choices between studio or single bedroom rooms, and there are common areas like lounges and activity rooms for relaxing and socializing, plus a dining room where chef-prepared, nutritious meals are served on a schedule, with options for those with allergies or diabetes, and all-day snacks if someone gets hungry later, and there's also a private dining section for special family moments.
Residents can enjoy gardening, movie nights, arts and crafts, fitness classes, and organized recreational events that help everyone stay active and social, and there are walking paths and a garden for spending time outside in good weather, while inside there are high definition TVs, a beauty and barber shop, and a fitness room; the staff is on-site and awake around the clock, providing 24-hour supervision, assistance, and emergency response any time it's needed, with an in-room emergency system and support for non-ambulatory and incontinence care, as well as continence management and help with showering, dressing, feeding by spoon when needed, and transfers.
Cornerstone House offers personalized care plans for every resident, coordinates with healthcare providers for seamless care, and has services like medication management, occupational therapy, massage therapy, and an on-site dietitian who creates dementia-friendly menus tailored to each person's needs; the community's pharmacy service and home health services support wellness, while transportation is available for outings or appointments, and nearby hospitals, pharmacies, and churches make connection with outside providers and services easier when needed.
Special programs are in place for those dealing with recovery from substance use disorder and addiction, which sets the place apart from many other senior homes, and respite care is offered if caregivers need short-term relief. Housekeeping, laundry, including dry cleaning, move-in coordination, and community-sponsored activities are standard, and the concierge service helps residents and families handle daily needs, while amenities like telephones in rooms, internet access, and online services are available for connection and convenience. The facility's meals are freshly made, prepared by a chef, with all-day dining choices, and services adjust for special dietary plans, allergies, and diabetes. Transportation and parking are arranged so it's easy for residents to get to appointments and outings.
The entire property-including walking paths and outdoor gardens-is regulated by the State of Michigan and doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The community supports seniors in keeping their independence as much as possible, while providing help and supervision, and all services aim to keep everyone healthy, engaged, and comfortable in a supportive, welcoming environment.
