A Who’s Who of musicians, singers and fashionistas share their most graceful years at Provision Living

Stroll the vibrant halls of Provision Living at West Bloomfield and you’re likely to meet a former Motown singer. Or hear the mastery of a virtuoso pianist.

“Actually, two concert pianists live with us,” says Kim Burton, director of sales. “We have a baby grand piano, and they frequently lead us in sing-alongs.”

Stepping into Provision Living is akin to entering a luxury resort, complete with celebrity sightings.

“A member of a legendary Detroit soul group lives here,” Executive Director David Ferreri says with a sly grin, offering a tease while being careful to guard the privacy of his residents. “You’ll also see the first female commercial pilot, a trailblazing former school superintendent and the owner of a vineyard.”

Savor your meal with a former model, while you eavesdrop on the fashion designer at the next table chatting it up with doctors and lawyers.

Such is the tapestry of this community of residents, with backgrounds that create a colorfully diverse community spirit.

“We have quite a few notable individuals living with us,” says David, “but the truth is, each of our residents has a fascinating life story.”

The Who’s Who of singers, artists and models residing at Provision Living are an example of how today’s seniors choose to live their retirement years in environments that have evolved in elegance.

It’s a refreshing, delightful surprise that challenges our preconceptions about senior living, highlighting the vibrant, fulfilling lifestyle awaiting residents.

“In this new era of aging gracefully, we make sure the experience and environment reflect the upscale preferences of the West Bloomfield community,” says David. “From the soaring cathedral ceilings to the warm welcome by the concierge, we’ve meticulously crafted every detail so our residents feel truly at home.

"When you’re here, you and your family become a part of our family, easing the transition with understanding and shared experiences."

It’s all part of the mission, says Kim Burton, director of sales. "We're here to introduce the true essence of senior living – a chapter filled with discovery, support and care tailored to meet the unique needs of each person and their family."

Provision Living’s Encircle care program is designed to elevate seniors' well-being across all dimensions – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This holistic approach ensures residents not only thrive but also find new joys and opportunities for personal growth. With an emphasis on health and wellness, the community offers personalized plans managed by licensed experts, catering to the diverse needs and enhancing the quality of life for every resident.

The community layout is thoughtfully designed with neighborhoods catering to various needs, from physical therapy to memory care, ensuring everyone, no matter their journey, finds a place here. This principle stems from a deep understanding that fulfillment and happiness do not diminish with age.

The programming, from cultural outings to exploring hobbies, draws residents out of their shells, fostering what Kim describes as "magical moments" of connection and joy.

Almost on cue, piano chords carry through the halls, drawing residents from their rooms and into the community room for a sing-along.

“There's a lot of life to live at Provision Living,” she says.
