Park Place Assisted Living sits at 4214 S Westnedge Ave in Kalamazoo, welcoming up to 20 residents across five unique buildings, each keeping groups small to feel more like home, and you'll find private or shared apartments with accessible bathrooms and climate control, which can be real important when folks want comfort and privacy, and the grounds have nice landscaped courtyards, covered porches, walking trails, and plenty of sitting spots. Each building's got spacious living rooms, activity spaces, and dining rooms where residents gather for three healthy, chef-prepared meals a day, with special diets like diabetic care or allergy-friendly plates taken into account, and if a resident needs help with eating, staff handle that too. The place's licensed as an Adult Large Group Home under AL390418617, actively providing long-term care for aged, physically handicapped, and folks with Alzheimer's, including memory care wings named Ash, Birch, and Elm at Park Place, with secure settings so people with dementia feel safe and included, and there's assisted living buildings called Cedar and Dogwood at Park Place, both with emergency response systems and lounge areas. The staff-to-resident ratio is good, about one caregiver for every seven residents, so most folks get help quickly when they need bathing, dressing, toileting, meds, or just getting from room to room, with escorting around the building included, and there's 24-hour staffing and a full security system.
Services cover folks who need a little help, like with mobility, and even non-ambulatory care, plus hospice and special support for memory issues, and there's respite care too, giving main caregivers a break if they need it for a little while. The community works with outside health groups-home health, hospice, physical therapy, pharmacy-bringing in extra support when folks' needs change. Every room's wheelchair accessible, and there's an in-room emergency alert, so people feel safe moving about, and there's mail delivery, move-in help, and financial planning assistance for families getting settled.
Activities run all day, every day, with arts and crafts, games, musical performances, field trips, and religious services off-site or on, and you'll see residents involved in Tai Chi, social programs, movie nights in the screening room, plus walking paths and gardens for those who like to get out in the sun. There's a beauty salon, library, community kitchen, games room, and dedicated activity directors always coming up with something new to keep folks engaged, whether that's devotional events, memory-enhancing exercises for those with dementia, or planning birthday parties in the dining room where guests can join in. Pet lovers find comfort here, since both cats and dogs are welcome.
Housekeeping and laundry run daily so people can enjoy tidy rooms and clean clothes without worry, and when folks need to get out for doctor visits or errands, transportation and parking are included for residents and visitors. The staff focuses on keeping the environment clean, respectful, and warm, where people can participate, follow their interests, and maintain independence-even as their health or memory may change-because sometimes just knowing there's help nearby if needed brings a lot of peace of mind to families. The place is licensed and regularly surveyed by local agencies like the Department of Aging, with a record of high satisfaction in reviews from residents and their families, and if someone's thinking about options, Park Place offers independent living, enhanced living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or even a short-term stay for respite, so there's flexibility as individuals' needs grow or change throughout their stay.
