LifeCircles PACE - Muskegon offers an all-inclusive care program for seniors who'd rather stay in their own homes than move to a nursing home, and they've been doing this since 2009 right there at 560 Seminole Road in Norton Shores, within Tanglewood Park in Muskegon, and you can't miss the Brio Living Services logo out front because that shows who they're with. The program supports adults 55 and older with chronic illnesses by giving them medical care, therapy, memory care, transportation, social activities, meals, and in-home help, all rolled into one, whether needed at home or at the Day Center which keeps things lively with activities, exercise, spiritual care, and meals during the day, and there's a special area called The Ravines for memory care services too. They've got a care team made up of nurses, doctors, social workers, aides, and therapists, and the team works closely with both in-house staff and some independent contractors, always focusing on the well-being and goals of each participant, and they even help people figure out if they qualify for Long Term Care Medicaid and walk them through the paperwork.
The program includes everything ranging from medical visits, prescriptions, therapy, and durable medical equipment, to home modifications like wheelchair ramps, and even urgent or emergency medical care, because sometimes the little things like help with bathing, cleaning, grocery shopping, or medication management add up and folks need support with those too, so you've got services like in-home personal care, homemaking, meal delivery, prescription drop-offs, and aids who will assist with errands or household chores. There's transportation for medical appointments, memory care for Alzheimer's, primary care, dental, vision, and hearing care, and a focus on balanced living, and access to medical and mental health support, as well as help for caregivers, because taking care of caregivers matters a great deal to everyone involved. Everything runs under the PACE® model, which stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and there's coordination with outside specialists when needed, but services have to be authorized and are delivered by a network of approved providers because that's how the model works.
Payment is flexible and includes Medicare, Medicaid, VA Benefits, Long Term Care Insurance, or direct payments, including by check or credit card, and eligibility is assessed carefully, with staff there to help with enrollment questions. Living options the program links to include Town Homes, Garden Apartments, and Cottage-style residences, and there's a Village Center as part of the mix, along with floor plans like Ravines, Harmony, and Cedar Households, to suit various needs. The community's open to everyone regardless of race, religion, gender, or how they pay, and they run under the standards set by the National PACE® Association, whose mark and guidance appear throughout what they do.
People can tour the facilities, meet the staff and residents, and get a real sense of day-to-day life before making any choices. There's an emphasis on ethical care, independence, personal dignity, and reducing health gaps, especially in rural communities, and the main goal stays focused on helping seniors remain independent, safe, and connected to their community. The program's been part of the Muskegon area for more than 30 years, with hours running Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and everything is coordinated through a team approach that keeps personalized care, practical help, and community support at the heart of daily routines.
