Many people work hard throughout their lives and, as they age, want to relax and enjoy their daily life. However, they may find that their house feels empty after the children have left or a spouse has passed away. Perhaps health issues are causing worry. Or it may simply be that a person is tired of spending time on home maintenance, housecleaning, laundry and cooking.
Cedarbrook of Bloomfield Hills (cedarbrookofbloomfieldhills.com) can provide comfort, independence, well-being and a sense of community to seniors at any stage of life. Since 2015, the welcoming brick facility has allowed people to age-in-place by offering accommodations for those who require independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care and respite care.
“People have the opportunity to live in one community, in one building, and maintain all those same friendships and relationships with the people they meet,” says Artur Szuster, executive director for Cedarbrook. “It's just a matter of changing apartments within the building.”
The Cedarbrook senior living options include:
Independent living, designed for active seniors seeking an elevated lifestyle, free from the responsibilities of home maintenance, meal planning and routine chores. The amenities include two-bedroom/two-bath apartments, some with dens, private balconies or patios and heated garage parking.
Assisted living offers residents essential support while maintaining their independence — a comprehensive range of amenities, enabling each resident to tailor their daily experience to suit their needs. These include spacious private suites, as well as one- and two-bedroom apartments. Assistance with medication management, ambulation, continence and medical care is also available.
Memory care, where individuals with Alzheimer's, dementia or other memory impairments benefit from personalized care designed with the whole resident in mind, including mind-body-spirit enrichment activities. The memory care neighborhood emphasizes both safety and comfort.
Nursing care is suitable for those needing long-term residential clinical support. Residents have access to a range of medical services, rehabilitation and various therapeutic interventions.
Respite care provides short-term support for families who need assistance caring for their loved ones when they are unable to do so.
“It’s a beautiful community,” adds Crystal Austin, director of sales and marketing. “The people really enjoy life, their social activities, making friends and keeping busy.”
All Cedarbrook residents have access to a restaurant-style dining experience, a café, a winery and a pub. For entertainment, the Rialto Theater offers a mix of movies and live presentations. Additionally, the community features a salon and spa to help residents look and feel their best. A wide range of activities — including book clubs, walking groups, exercise classes, card games, educational lectures and arts-and-crafts sessions — enables everyone to stay physically, mentally and socially active. Outings include trips to the Detroit Zoo, the Franklin Cider Mill, restaurants and more.
And Cedarbrook loves the holidays — celebrating Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and beyond with decorating parties, crafts workshops and holiday movie nights.
“Sometimes, when people transition here, they feel re-engaged,” says Szuster. “They feel like a new flame has been lit because there’s a lot of engagement through clubs and programs we schedule, or just things they do as friends and neighbors.”
