Gull Arbor Senior Living sits at 7788 East DE Ave. in Richland, Michigan, and mainly serves older adults looking for a warm, home-like setting with lots of support. The facility's licensed as an Adult Small Group Home-license number AS390295180-and only has room for up to six people, which helps everyone get more personal attention and care. Gull Arbor Senior Living is family-owned and family-run, so the staff treat folks like neighbors, always focusing on respect, dignity, and making sure residents feel they really belong. The place works hard to avoid any kind of big, cold, institutional feel, instead putting effort into a friendly, home-style atmosphere where small touches-like a sun room, themed decorations, and even the chance to bring pets-make the difference.
Here, the care covers a lot, because the needs of older adults cover a lot, too. There's assisted living for folks who want to keep some independence but need help with daily chores or things like bathing, dressing, and managing medications. The staff help with meals that meet dietary needs, laundry and cleaning, and even dry cleaning-so people don't have to worry about those things. For people with memory loss, there are memory care programs set up to help reduce confusion, prevent wandering, and provide a safe place to live. Some residents might only need a short stay for respite care, which offers a break for regular caregivers. Nurses and care aides are there 24 hours, with extra support for things like incontinence care. The home works with doctors and health care workers when needed, so health care stays coordinated.
The rooms come in a few choices, including semi-private or one-bedroom for more privacy. All rooms have safety features like walk-in tubs and support rails, along with cable TV, WiFi, and telephone services, so it's easy to keep in touch or stay entertained. There's assistance for those who need help moving from bed to chair, and for those who need it, the building has things set up for wheelchairs or walkers.
Gull Arbor Senior Living offers community activities every day, with arts and crafts, social gatherings, exercise classes, and scheduled outings. The facility provides rides to doctor's appointments or errands, and they handle housekeeping, so residents don't need to worry about dirty sheets or clutter. For meals, staff cook food to meet dietary rules, and provide healthy snacks. Technology support is available too, with help choosing things like senior cell phone plans or medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical and Medical Guardian, plus hearing aid resources. Safety goes further with medication dispensers, home security, and ID theft protection specially for older adults.
People can choose from services like independent living, senior apartments, or townhome options, making it easier for those who want freedom, but with less work and more support.
