Homestead South sits in Parchment, Michigan, and has a cozy, homelike setting where up to six seniors can get care that fits their needs, whether that's assisted living, independent living, memory care, or something called enhanced living. The place is small by design, feeling more like a family home than a large facility, which helps create that sense of belonging, and it's run by Thomas & Audrey Youngblood, who hold the license number AF390273822, making sure everything stays up to date-with their most recent license running from May 2024 to May 2026. Residents get 24-hour supervision and support, so there's always staff around to help with things like bathing, dressing, medications, or getting around, plus there's wheelchair accessibility and services for people with developmental disabilities. Each person has their own plan for care, and the staff coordinates with medical professionals to meet unique needs, providing services like 12-16 hour nursing support and a 24-hour call system, along with assistance with daily activities for those who need extra help.
The community offers fully furnished rooms, with layouts in their assisted living units and memory care units set up for different needs, and they've got all the basics covered-laundry, housekeeping, linen service, along with prepared meals with special dietary options for anyone who needs them. Folks here enjoy communal spaces like gaming rooms, fitness rooms, libraries, and gardens, and regular activities like movie nights, daily fitness classes, and community-sponsored events help people stay active and social, even if they prefer quiet time with a book or a walk on the paths outside. The place has reliable transportation services, including rides to doctor's appointments, and they make sure communication stays easy with telephone and WiFi provided. Homestead South supports independent living but also offers stronger help and even respite care if someone needs short-term support, all inside a secure, well-supervised setting.
This facility plays an important role for families looking for a safe, caring place for a loved one, with emergency alert systems, move-in coordination, coordination with healthcare providers, help with medication management, non-ambulatory care, and assistance with all activities of daily living. The staff uses specialized programs and offers a variety of services and care types, so seniors here can have their routines and comforts while getting help when they need it. Homestead South is part of a local network of senior living communities in Kalamazoo County, offering something a bit more personal for those who want a small, supportive, and genuine living environment, and while it doesn't take Medicare unless certified by the CMS, it focuses on being there for people who need different levels of care as they age.
