Aspen Grove sits over on 7515 Secor Road in Lambertville, MI, and has a single-story building that helps folks get around without worrying about stairs or elevators, so people using wheelchairs can move easily anywhere they want to go, and the rooms all have wide doorways with plenty of light coming in, making the place feel open and comfortable. The community lets both men and women live there, including folks with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, and the memory care area sits in its own purpose-built wing, so anyone prone to wandering has the extra security and comfort they need on a secured property. Caregivers are around 24 hours a day, every day of the week, giving reminders and hands-on help with things like bathing, dressing, and grooming, and they can help with one-person and two-person transfers, as well as mechanical lift transfers for folks who need extra support moving.
The staff includes nurses on-site and a doctor who's on call, so there's constant medical oversight, and they can give insulin injections, do blood sugar tests, and help with diabetes care, even for someone needing sliding scale therapy. Aspen Grove also takes in residents who may have behavioral concerns or are at risk of elopement, and they use bracelets with alarms that alert staff if someone leaves the safe area. They've built strong behavioral care programs and offer special services for people who act out physically.
Every resident gets a service plan that's made just for them, including those needing diabetic management, incontinence care, or ambulatory help, and the staff can help with medication management and reminders to keep up with daily life. Visiting doctors and therapists-speech, occupational, and physical-make regular stops to support residents' health, and there's an adult day program for folks aged 60 or older looking for structured activities during the day.
When it's time for meals, Aspen Grove's got a big, elegant dining room where people can eat together restaurant-style, but if someone wants, meals can be delivered to their room, too. Menus include gluten-free, low sodium, low sugar, vegan, vegetarian, and kosher options, with special nutrition counseling for anyone who needs it. Food services focus on each resident's needs, and there's even an ice cream parlor and a coffee bar for treats between meals.
The community has a pet-friendly policy, so residents can keep their cats or dogs, and there's a good amount of walking paths and outdoor areas, plus spaces for gardening if that's something folks like to do. There are indoor and outdoor common areas, and the grounds are well-cared for so that everyone can get fresh air and sunshine when they want it. Activities cover stretching, art, cooking, trivia, wine tastings, entertainment, walking clubs, and wellness and balance classes, with an activity director planning new things each week. There are also intergenerational activities to build bonds and devotional services both onsite and offsite for those who want them.
Residents have access to a library, an activity center with games and a billiards table, community Wi-Fi, a well-stocked library, and even a grand piano for music lovers. A spa onsite offers some relaxation, and there are both private and community gathering rooms for those wanting quiet time or group events. Aspen Grove features scheduled transportation and courtesy rides for appointments or outings, and residents can also work with their choice of home health agencies when needed.
Housekeeping, linen, and personal laundry services are included, and folks can use extra storage space if needed. Security features like an emergency response system run day and night. The staff works to keep a calm, family-like feeling, encouraging people to stay active and engaged, and the general mood is supportive of independence and individual choices. The facility has independent living options for healthy seniors wanting a social but easygoing lifestyle, assisted living for those needing help with daily chores, and memory care designed for folks with memory problems. There's also home care provided by trained aides for companionship and non-medical support to folks living at home.
While Aspen Grove doesn't take in smokers, it welcomes seniors of all backgrounds as long as they're looking to live in a place that intends to keep things genuine, comfortable, and as supportive as possible, focusing on real needs in a safe, friendly setting-without trying to pretend life here is perfect or fancy, just a place where people can get the care, comfort, and respect they're looking for.
