Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby sits in a quiet area of Shelby Township, Michigan, surrounded by woods and landscaped grounds, and there's a gazebo and screened-in porches where people can enjoy the outdoors or simply look out over the trees, which is nice if you need a peaceful spot. This community has independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so folks who are pretty healthy or might need some extra help can find an option here, and there are skilled nursing and high-acuity care services for those who need closer supervision. Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts, each with features like full kitchens, private bathrooms, patios or balconies, and things like central air, walk-in closets, crown molding, and secure entry, so residents have their privacy and comfort, and some even have pretty views. Meals are provided and there's a chef who makes hot, made-to-order breakfasts daily, with other options for lunch and dinner served in a dining room or café, and snacks are always available if someone gets a bit hungry after activities.
You'll find a full list of services including housekeeping, laundry, and all utilities in the rent, so there aren't many bills to juggle, and the staff is around day and night with nurses on staff and doctors on call, plus physical, occupational, and speech therapy if someone needs it. Staff can help with medication management, incontinence care, bathing, dressing, diabetic care, and help folks who may be at risk of wandering with memory care, and they also offer hospice and respite stays if needed. Transportation is provided for errands, appointments, or outings, and there's resident parking for drivers. The community is pet-friendly but doesn't allow smoking indoors or in shared spaces, so the air stays clean.
The Villas keep a lively calendar with two Directors of Fun who coordinate over 200 activities every month, things like art and cooking classes, gardening, book clubs, cards and trivia games, musical events, excursions to malls or restaurants, and annual events such as Casino Night or a Fashion Show, and common areas feel like extensions of each person's home, so you see people chatting or joining in. Fitness programs include tai chi, yoga, chair yoga, and there's a full gym with both cardio and strength equipment, and you'll also find a spa, an on-site beautician, and a hair salon for personal care.
Residents can practice their faith on their own or join religious services and devotional activities both on-site and off-site, with visiting chaplains and priests, and there are social and faith-based groups for anyone interested. There's always internet and cable or satellite TV, plus a TV room and theater for movies or community programs. The whole place is accessible, with wide halls, elevators, and options for those using wheelchairs or walkers. Living here feels like being part of a close community, and the staff do their best to help everyone keep their independence, stay healthy, and join as many activities as they like, with help as needed to age in place.
