Saginaw Meadows sits in Burton, Michigan, run by Alternative Community Living, Inc., and serves adults who are developmentally disabled or mentally ill, now with a regular, active license from 8/7/2022 to 8/6/2024 under number AM730290713. The facility takes up to eight residents in its adult medium group home, where staff help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving around, and medication management, and support includes crisis care, therapy, counseling, and recovery groups, with the team made up of peer support specialists, social workers, nurses, and psychiatrists. There's both group and one-on-one treatment, options for memory care and physical therapy, withdrawal management if needed, and care plans designed for each resident, plus crisis screening, intervention, and referrals to the ER or local agencies when emergencies come up.
Residents live in studio or single-bedroom apartments or can pick communal living spaces, with rooms coming furnished and set up with phones and emergency alert systems, and there's a focus on safe, clean living through help with laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping, along with three daily meals offered in the dining room, snacks, menus for allergies or diabetes, all-day dining, plus a staff dietitian who works out special dietary plans. The grounds have a courtyard, gardens, walking and jogging paths, and secured parking, while inside you'll find places like a movie room, chapel, massage area, activity spaces for crafts, and communal areas for social events. People can have small pets, join the Friendship Clubhouse or J-Town Clubhouse, and join scheduled outings or community-sponsored activities, with transportation arranged for medical appointments or events when needed. Health monitoring, medication supervision, non-ambulatory care, personal laundry, and move-in help are offered, all under 24-hour staff coverage.
Saginaw Meadows works closely with other local agencies like County Mental Saginaw and Hope Network, connecting people to other mental health, housing, or vocational supports, and has outpatient clinics, pool therapy, or help for veterans, transition-age youth, and people on the autism spectrum, with support through residential housing like Beacon Harbor Homes and outpatient mental health from New Passages. Programs like ACT Services, Mobile Crisis Services, and Crisis Residential Services give short-term alternatives in times of need, and the approach always stays recovery- and resilience-focused, using evidence-based practices and aiming to help people return to less intensive living when possible.
