Jewish Senior Life has been helping older adults since 1907 and stays focused on providing care and comfort for seniors in the Detroit Metropolitan area, sitting on landscaped grounds that offer outdoor spaces, gardens, and views of nature. The community has 102 apartments, with studio and one-bedroom options, all with private bathrooms, and some with kitchenettes, along with individualized heating and cooling controls, cable TV, sprinkler systems, emergency call systems, and wheelchair-accessible showers, so safety and comfort get covered throughout. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care are all part of the services, with the Fleischman Residence and Coville Assisted Living buildings offering private and shared suites, and memory care designed to support people living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, making it easier for them to feel safe, stay oriented, and avoid wandering, while the staff provide specialized care and individualized wellness plans.
Daily life at Jewish Senior Life includes chef-prepared meals that pay attention to nutrition, taste, and portion control, with an in-house dietician guiding choices for healthy weight and well-being, and residents find a dining room, a café/bistro for snacks or drinks, and a space for group meals. There are fitness centers, art and crafts rooms, a movie room, TV lounge, a library, fireplaces in common areas, a piano/organ, salon/barbershop, and outdoor patio gardens, so people can choose how they want to spend their time, either being active, relaxing, or socializing with friends. Social, educational, creative, spiritual, and recreational activities fill the days, with programs aimed at all types of needs, and there are also special opportunities with visiting Rabbis, religious services, and community outreach, so everyone can stay connected to their traditions if that's important to them.
Staff in the building are known to be helpful and friendly, bringing kindness and attention to each resident, and 24/7 service means someone is around to help with personal needs, from bathing and dressing to medication reminders and walking or wheelchair support, and transportation, housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are included, which helps everyone keep daily chores off their list. Jewish Senior Life also supports memory care with brain-challenging programs, plus support for Holocaust survivors and counseling if needed, and its Chaplaincy Program reaches out to those who need spiritual or emotional care, both on-site and at partner organizations.
The campus welcomes visitors with community events, open houses, and regular family engagement, and keeps a home-like atmosphere with a focus on dignity, safety, and respect for each resident's pace and wishes. Residents enjoy privacy in their apartments but can join structured activities whenever they'd like, with wellness programs, educational events, outings, and social opportunities open to all. The amenities make it easy to live independently or with as much help as needed for daily living, and the community honors the traditions and unique needs of the Jewish population, while also offering care to all seniors. Jewish Senior Life is nonprofit and partners with the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, taking steps to provide the safest and most supportive environment possible, whether someone needs independent living, assisted living, respite care, or memory care.
