Cherry Hill Haven III

Cherry Hill Haven III in Traverse City, MI, sits up on a hill with a nice view and feels like a cozy Northern Michigan home, and even though the building itself is quiet, there's always something going on inside, whether it's music therapy, pet visits, crafts, or movie nights in the community room, and you'll find people in the garden or courtyard when the weather's good, plus the paths and garden spaces let folks enjoy a walk now and then. Staff help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and getting around, and they give medicines and help with things like feeding or transfers for those who need it, and they watch over everyone all day and night, so someone's always around if help's needed. The facility takes care of people with Alzheimer's or dementia too, with memory care programs, a secured environment, supervision for safety, and personalized care plans, plus they offer specialized waivers for dementia and hospice, helping even if the situation gets tough at the end of life. Cherry Hill Haven III has 16 assisted living units, most of them shared, with room options that have furnished setups, spacious closets, phone lines, and emergency alert systems, and there's a mix of different unit sizes since they're connected with Cedar Valley Home, Cass Road Adult Foster Care, Carriage Hill AFC, Bay Ridge Assisted Living, Bay House, Arbor House, and Acme Terrace AFC, though the numbers for each vary from four up to sixty-four in the larger spots. Meals come three times a day in the dining hall, and snacks are always around, and staff handle housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and coordinate care with doctors, nurses, and outside services like home health, physical therapy, or hospice if someone needs it. Families can join in meetings for support, and residents can join religious services, gardening, exercise, classes, and social events, or just relax in the common rooms or activity spaces, and for those who can't move around easily, there's non-ambulatory care and physical therapy on site. Transportation's offered for errands and appointments, and the staff manage diabetes, run a continence program, and provide personal care like haircuts, showers, and help with clothing, plus there's a nurse on staff and regular health checks with doctors. Residents get a secure community, safety systems, active fall prevention, and a setup that's focused on keeping people both safe and independent as much as possible, and if someone just needs a short stay, there's respite care available, and folks with special diets get meal plans that suit them. Cherry Hill Haven III holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and runs under Michigan license number AL280369173, and while it's not fancy, it's a place where seniors get personalized, steady support every day.
