Woodhaven Senior Community sits on a landscaped 40-acre campus in a quiet suburb of Flint, Michigan, and has been open since 1989, welcoming over 250 active residents in a range of living arrangements like single-story Clubhomes with garages and full-size apartments, where residents enjoy views of water and wildlife and a strong sense of community where staff and residents often come to feel like family over time. The community is private, locally owned, and managed by a family that's spent more than 45 years in senior care. The main Clubhouse is a 16,000 square foot building at 5111 Woodlands Court, where people gather for meals, activities, and events, and the connected indoor Aquatic Center is open weekdays for swimming and wellness, with exercise rooms and regular yoga classes to help people stay active, while outside, residents use the putting green or walk in the gardens.
There are three main communities here-The Meadows and Fountain View are both open 24/7, with staff available at all times to help out, and the Clubhouse has more specific hours and closes for certain holidays, but opens for special events on weekends. Residents in Independent Living can enjoy an active and maintenance-free life with social activities, daily checkups from staff, parking, kitchenettes or full kitchens, cable TV and phone access, and communal spaces like reading rooms and a barbershop and beauty salon. Assisted Living offers help with day-to-day needs such as dressing, bathing, laundry, housekeeping, on-site health checks, and a meal program with prepared meals once or twice each day, plus access to room service and guest meals. Staff are trained to provide medical support and help with grooming, and there's a nurse on staff part-time. Memory Care is also available for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with care tailored to individual needs.
A key part of the community feels is the wide range of structured programs that keep residents engaged socially, physically, and emotionally, whether through card games, birthday celebrations, field trips, wellness classes, religious services, or educational activities, and there's always something happening, such as entertainment in dedicated venues or outings for shopping, with staff taking care of transportation. Amenities like the pub and grille-open a few evenings each week-a new Clubhouse lounge for coffee in the morning and drinks at night, wall-to-wall carpeting, emergency call systems, fire safety monitoring, and a clean, monitored environment all support resident comfort and safety.
Housekeeping, personal laundry, and maintenance are included in monthly rent, with extra cleaning available just by calling the front desk, and services like salon appointments, religious programs, skilled nursing, health assessments, and blood pressure checks can be arranged. Residents and families often mention the cheerful and helpful staff, who are described as attentive and kind, and there's a CAN DO motto that shapes the culture here, encouraging independence and a positive attitude. Residents can pick up brochures or take a tour to see the grounds, meet staff like the Leasing Director or Activities Director, and try out meals. Woodhaven Senior Community accepts some insurance options, provides easy parking, and aims to offer every resident a safe, elegant, and supportive home, where people can live as independently as possible while receiving the care and help they need.
