Cherry Hill Haven runs several senior living homes around Traverse City, Michigan, with names like Cedar Valley Home, Cass Road Adult Foster Care, Carriage Hill AFC, Bay Ridge Assisted Living, Bay House, and Arbor House, and there's also Cherry Hill Haven II and Cherry Hill Nest you might hear about, and what you'll find is each one offers a different size, so some have as few as four or five rooms and others can have up to sixty-four assisted living apartments, and they try to keep the houses cozy and small so residents and staff get to know each other. Cherry Hill Haven provides assisted living, memory care, independent living, hospice, and even short-term respite care if someone just needs a place to stay for a little while after a hospital visit, and they're set up for folks who need help with bathing, dressing, getting around, and taking medicine, though there's skilled nursing on hand for bigger health needs and staff available day and night all week long in case anything comes up. Folks with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia get a extra secured environment to keep them safe, with trained caregivers around to help and offer special activities that can help with memory and mood, plus there's therapies for things like wound care, and help for people dealing with incontinence and diabetes-room amenities include wheelchair friendly showers, private baths, and telephones, and Cherry Hill Haven also offers vegetarian meals, allergy friendly food, and chef-planned menus, with snacks throughout the day and staff help serving meals.
Everyone can join in on movie nights, walking in the garden or on paths, music therapy, pet therapy, and visits from local students, along with regular social events, scheduled outings, and religious or spiritual services. Some houses have open kitchens and shared meals, and you'll also find transportation and housekeeping services, laundry, emergency alert systems, and different apartment setups to pick from depending on the house. For independent seniors, Cherry Hill Haven makes it possible to live in a community with resort-like comforts and planned events, while those who need more support can count on tailored care. The homes are in Northern Michigan, with a country setting outside Kalkaska for those looking for something quieter, and during the warm months there's a courtyard and garden to relax in. Caregivers speak English, and there's help with move-in for new people. Cherry Hill Haven keeps things calm and steady, focusing on support, safety, and giving people ways to stay active and connected for as long as they need.
