Country Gardens Assisted Living is a thoughtfully designed senior living community located in Pigeon, Michigan. Nestled across from the local hospital, Country Gardens provides apartment-style accommodations specifically tailored to seniors who may require various levels of assistance. The community offers residents a choice between small studios, large studios, and one or two-bedroom apartments, all of which feature a spacious bathroom, walk-in closet, kitchenette, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. The apartments are complemented by welcoming common areas where residents can gather, relax, and enjoy the vibrant social atmosphere.
At the core of Country Gardens is a dedication to delivering a broad spectrum of quality services that support both independence and comfort. Resident safety and well-being are prioritized, with alarmed doors throughout the facility, a comprehensive facility-wide alarm system, and safety call buttons in key locations such as bathrooms, showers, and near beds, as well as wearables for residents. The entrance doors are kept locked for added security when staff are not immediately present, and periodic safety checks ensure a secure environment at all hours. Staff are present on-site 24/7, receiving annual training in areas including diabetes education and Alzheimer’s care, and thoughtfully maintaining resident support with staff-to-resident ratios tailored to both daytime and nighttime needs.
Country Gardens believes in "Resident-Life Optimization," a philosophy that ensures a diverse set of activities is always available to engage every interest. Residents enjoy favorites such as BINGO, but the calendar is filled with additional opportunities for socialization and enrichment, from crafts and bible study, to exercise sessions, animal visits, and games. Regular outings are organized, including trips to the local Band Shell concerts, offering residents meaningful connections to their community. Exercise activities are creatively designed to be accessible and fun, with options like floor bowling and balloon toss catering to various abilities and preferences.
Diet and nutrition are another standout feature at Country Gardens. Three meals are served daily, and the community has become well-known for the quality and visual appeal of its dining experiences. The menu changes regularly, offering a variety of delicious and satisfying options that residents look forward to. Social gatherings over meals are a hallmark of daily life, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among residents.
Pets are also welcomed at Country Gardens, with both small dogs and cats permitted to live with their owners. Cats are limited to residents' private apartments for safety and allergy reasons, while dogs can enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds and expansive outdoor spaces, making the setting ideal for those who want the companionship of a pet and the serenity of natural surroundings.
Beyond the immediate comforts, Country Gardens offers practical amenities such as complimentary transportation within town and scheduled transport for out-of-town appointments at a minimal cost. The proximity to the hospital ensures that outpatient services like pharmacy, rehabilitation, diagnostics, and lab work are easily accessible. For those who love the outdoors, there is a community walking trail nearby and convenient access to local restaurants and shops, supporting residents in remaining active and integrated with the broader community.
