Imperial Senior Suites sits in Southfield, Michigan, in a quiet suburban area with a lakefront and lots of trees, and the place seems built with seniors' needs in mind, from the gated entrance with key fob access and round-the-clock security to the wide hallways and specially designed apartments with grab bars in the baths, wheelchair accessible showers, and full modern kitchens with everything included like dishwashers and electric ranges, while each home has wall-to-wall carpet in the living areas and easy-to-clean vinyl in the kitchen and bathroom. The community has 1, 2, and 3-bedroom Senior Suites that offer plenty of space, lots of closet room, and individually controlled heat and air, so it's pretty comfortable for people who like to manage their own space, and there's also weekly housekeeping, light cleaning, and two meals provided each day if folks don't want to cook. For those who need more help, there's assisted living with staff who support bathing, dressing, and medication, and for residents with dementia there are safety supports to reduce confusion and help prevent them from wandering.
Care services go all the way from independent living up through assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing, and Homestead Home Health Care brings 24-hour personal care right to the apartments. Residents get personalized care plans, and services like medication management, help with incontinence if needed, and the staff is trained for higher levels of medical need. Small pets are welcome at Imperial Senior Suites, and the grounds have both indoor and outdoor common areas, with a dedicated lounge, a games room, and even a cinema called Imperial Cinema where residents can watch movies together. Every week brings a full calendar of activities, like stretching classes, happy hours, devotional services, live dance or musical acts, and trips offsite to shop or enjoy nearby restaurants, which is easy since the location sits close to stores, dining, and major freeways.
On-site you can find a state-of-the-art fitness center, a Wellness Center with classes, and a seasonal Olympic-size pool with a hot tub, so there's no shortage of ways to stay active or relax, and there's also a basketball court for those who want a bit more movement. The community focuses on safety with onsite emergency maintenance, all-inclusive utilities, and a secure gated perimeter, and if needed, there's pharmacy access and help with transportation. All faiths find a place with on-and offsite religious and devotional programs, and there's entertainment and social gatherings that are open to everyone, with family gathering spaces and a general store for everyday needs. The staff delivers what they call "five-star" services-like valet and concierge-but the atmosphere, to be fair, feels more like a comfortable, busy neighborhood for seniors who like both independence and knowing they can get help whenever they need it, with care ranging from basic independence to advanced medical support. The typical cost starts around $625 according to reported rates, and reviews run about 3.5 to 3.7 out of 5 from those who have lived there, so most folks find it very good, with lots of features geared to making life easier and more social for older adults.
