Ellsworth Adult Foster Care runs a small, home-like assisted living facility located at 6370 Ellsworth St in Marlette, Michigan, and also provides care at 6543 Black River Road in Croswell, Michigan, both places focusing on keeping things comfortable and supportive for seniors who want a quieter setting. The home carries a regular license-number AS760013141-from Resident Advancement, Inc., and meets Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs rules, so folks can expect a setting that's legitimate and checked by the state, with the current license running from October 28, 2024, to October 27, 2026. This is an Adult Small Group Home, so it only serves one to six residents at a time, making it a good choice for those looking for a place where everybody gets to know each other, and the staff-like CNA, LPN/LVN, and even RNs-have time to pay attention to each person's needs.
The facility helps both couples and single seniors, and they know people might need extra help, so they offer round-the-clock supervision, care with bathing, dressing, and getting around, even transfers if someone's not so steady on their feet. People get meal prep according to their health needs, including things like diabetes or allergies; meals are available all day and they have help keeping up with medication, doctor visits, and even arranging transportation to appointments, which helps when folks don't drive anymore.
There are activities for everyone, with game rooms, libraries, community movie nights, walking groups in the garden and on paths, fitness classes, and shared events, so there's always an option for company or a quiet break in one of the furnished apartments. Housekeeping and laundry are covered, including dry cleaning, and there's staff always present for both routine needs and emergencies, with emergency alert systems in place for safety. For those worried about pets, they encourage people to ask about the pet policy, since some arrangements can be made.
People with memory problems or who need memory care services are also included, and the staff coordinates with healthcare providers to keep up with changing needs. The setting is friendly, routine-based and pretty low stress, meant to help folks keep their independence while getting whatever support they need, whether it's daily chores, healthcare, or just someone around for a chat. Pricing starts at $2,640 per month, which is usually less than a nursing home would cost, and they also offer respite care if someone's looking for a short-term stay. The community accepts seniors and adults who are developmentally disabled, mentally ill, or physically handicapped, and the home isn't certified for Medicare or Medicaid, so payments work out privately.
Everyone gets their own care plan, meals are provided, rooms are fully furnished, and phones are available in each room, with social and outdoor activities meant to help folks feel like they belong. With 24-hour staff, regular housekeeping, medical care, and help managing daily activities, Ellsworth Adult Foster Care's homes offer a simple, steady environment for older adults who just need some help to stay comfortable and safe in a smaller, more personal setting.
