The Maples of St. Johns sits in St. Johns, Michigan, right by the Emerald Golf Course, and it's got modern brick siding, scenic views, and a nice five-acre countryside to look at, so you'll see a lot of greenery and peaceful surroundings. The whole place is a Home for the Aged - Exempted and is exempt from licensure under MCL 333.21311a, which makes it a little different from some places you'll hear about. The building has space for up to 12 residents, keeping it pretty small and home-like, which in turn helps staff and owners really know everyone who lives there since it's family owned and managed with a focus on relationships and individual care.
The Maples offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care services, plus special help for folks who are physically handicapped or need skilled nursing, and there's also diabetic and ambulatory care if people need it. The team helps with all the activities of daily living-things like bathing, getting dressed, and handling medicines-and everyone gets meals included with dining services, along with planned activities both on and off site so that no one feels bored or stuck. People can join devotional services either at The Maples or they can go out, because spiritual well-being is part of the overall approach, and they make time for social, educational, and fun programs to keep folks engaged.
Indoor spaces are comfortable and well-lit by natural light, with common areas for gathering, two cafes for eating or having coffee, and outdoor patios where residents can just sit and relax. The property's got nice landscaping and lots of outdoor spots where people can enjoy a bit of quiet or chat with neighbors. The Maples of St. Johns tailors services to each resident's personal needs and schedules, building care plans around what each person wants and requires. The staff is available full-time, and respite care's an option too, so short stays are possible if a caregiver needs a break. Companionship is encouraged, and the atmosphere feels warm and familiar like a second home, with an effort to offer a better quality of life by helping with daily tasks and chores, supporting independence, and focusing on respect and kindness every day.
