Vanderhaeghen Afc LLC sits in a peaceful, wooded neighborhood on the edge of Novi, MI, where it's nice and quiet, and you'll often see deer or birds out in the yard or hear the wind in the trees, with parks and golf courses close by if folks like to get outside for fresh air or take a walk, plus the home itself is small, with just six beds, so things feel more personal and less crowded than bigger places. Staff are on-site day and night, ready to help with daily needs like medicine, bathing, dressing, and moving about, and they're trained to care for people facing dementia, Alzheimer's, or even more serious behavioral needs, using things like secure alarm bracelets and a computerized alert system to help prevent wandering and keep everyone safe. The living room gets a lot of natural light and opens onto patios and other common areas where you can relax with neighbors or just enjoy the view, while meals are home-cooked, coming with lots of variety-including kosher and vegetarian if that's needed-and always made to be healthy and appetizing, with staff ready to adjust for specific diets.
The whole place is kept clean and comfortable, with modern furniture, wide hallways, and private bathrooms-some with full tubs-and there's a spacious yard ringed by tall trees that makes sitting outside soothing, while indoors, you'll find a design built for easy movement and wheelchair access. Residents can join in with on-site craft projects, off-site rides for errands or trips, and outdoor activities in the secured courtyard, with devotional activities offered off-site if wanted, and transportation or parking available if needed. Assistance ranges from simple help with daily living all the way to high-level care, including insulin management, incontinence, help for non-ambulatory residents, lifts, and support for those with more severe needs. The staff will also coordinate visiting nurses, hospice, respite care, and behavioral health support, always keeping an eye out for anyone needing extra help or reminders throughout the day. Families can sit down with the team for free to talk through the right fit, and get personalized guidance about options.
Vanderhaeghen Afc LLC doesn't take Medicare unless it's certified but does hold a state license as a small adult group home for up to six people, which keeps its community close and offers plenty of individual attention, with a solid review score of 4.6 out of 5 from families who've used their services. Smoking is allowed outside in a designated space, and meals can be tailored to special needs, with private rooms and baths adding a little extra comfort. The goal here is to give seniors a safe, friendly place to live where staff know everyone by name and help is always nearby when someone needs it.
