Ohana Group Living sits in a comfortable home at 39849 Crystal Drive in Sterling Heights, MI, and it's been there since 2018, making use of a regular 3-bedroom house that's been set up for small-scale assisted living, which can feel more relaxed and peaceful than a larger place, and residents often appreciate the quieter setting. The staff here have First Aid and Basic Life Support training, and the facility is owned by a healthcare professional with over 25 years of experience, so there's someone who knows what to look for and what to watch out for, which calms family worries. This place serves seniors, folks with Alzheimer's Disease, and people with physical disabilities, even if they need to use a wheelchair or are bed-bound, all under Michigan's Adult Foster Care rules, so everyone gets help that matches their needs.
Residents can choose between private suites or shared rooms, and all the living areas come furnished, with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and air-conditioning. The rooms have internet, cable, and telephone, and there's WiFi throughout. There's always someone there to help with medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, and general daily needs. The facility handles laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, and will even help coordinate your move in. Residents don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, or yard work since the staff manage that, and the dining area serves scheduled meals with lots of menu choices, including kosher, vegetarian, low-fat, and low-sodium options for people who need something special for their health.
Ohana Group Living aims to promote independence and respect while making sure help is always close by if something comes up, and the emergency alert systems are there for added peace of mind. Residents can join group activities, like movie nights, game nights, music sessions with the resident musical group, and arts and crafts, and the garden with walking paths and outdoor patios gives everyone a chance to step outside. They offer transportation and parking, accept pets in some cases, and have companion care and personal aides as needed, and if someone requires diabetes or renal care, hospice services, or is working with a physical therapist, these are coordinated in-house or with local health providers.
All of this is bundled into all-inclusive pricing, and residents can pay with insurance or checks. The place lets seniors stay social and engaged without having to give up their dignity or independence, and while there's 24-hour supervision, the staff do their best to make it feel like a true home where there's always someone nearby if needed but residents still get to choose how to spend their day.
