American House Elmwood sits in Auburn Hills, MI, in a quiet area near family, shops, and several hospitals like Crittenton, Troy Beaumont, and St. Joseph's Pontiac, which makes it easy for residents to get the care they need. The community is a one-story building that feels homey, with open courtyards, two covered patios for relaxing outdoors, and lots of comfortable seating spaces inside, maybe around a fireplace or near big windows where the light comes in. The apartments come in studio and one-bedroom plans, many with kitchens, living rooms, and private bathrooms, and some are available furnished if you need a short stay for respite recovery. People age 55 and up can move in, bring some pets, and choose independent living, assisted living, or memory care, depending on their personal needs, and the staff adapts care as things change.
Residents take meals together in a community dining room and get restaurant-style options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with laundry and housekeeping done for them so there's less worry, and folks can get scheduled rides for appointments and errands. Amenities include a billiards room for games, a beauty salon or barber shop for trims and haircuts, and several wide-open courtyards and patios where neighbors sit and talk or just enjoy fresh air. There are planned activities, social trips, and clubs organized by an Activities Director, and you'll find seats to gather in the common areas if you want a quiet chat or just to take in the view.
