Assisted Living Is Active Living

With support designed specifically for each senior’s level of need, Heritage Community of Kalamazoo creates an atmosphere where assisted living residents are encouraged to embrace the day with a sense of adventure and promise. When support is needed for activities of daily living – things like a helping hand when dressing, bathing or medication management – active programming and care services in our assisted living neighborhoods can help.

We’ll take care of the things that make your day harder so you can take advantage of all we have to offer that makes your day happier. And what we have to offer on our campus is a lot: social programming to keep you engaged, educational opportunities to keep your mind sharp and fun activities to keep your body moving!

A Heritage of Stellar Hospitality

We’ve worked hard to create warm, welcoming environments in our assisted living apartment homes at both Meilland Square and Hawthorn Landing at Heritage Community of Kalamazoo. Our residents and their families will tell you we are succeeding every day.

With an approach that focuses on hospitality, the care services we provide in assisted living are respectful, person-centered and customized to your level of need. This enables you to continue the meaningful activities and friendships that you value, while also maintaining your autonomy.

What is
Assisted Living?

Sometimes seniors require a little more support. Life in our assisted living apartments is designed to provide exactly that, be it personal care, physical assistance or help with medications. Here, a 24-hour staff of licensed nurses and trained caregivers provide personalized assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, monitoring medications and other activities of daily living. When comparing assisted living versus nursing home options, you’ll find our residents are able to enjoy all the same luxuries and amenities as those living independently. But it’s important for seniors and their families to remember: don’t wait for an unexpected event that forces a move to assisted living. Make a move to ACTIVE living at Heritage Community so you can take advantage now of all we have to offer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moved my mother in law in recently and we cannot say enough great things about her care and the staff! They have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure her transition into assisted living is as seamless as possible. Izabela is literally an angel here on Earth and always looking out for the residents best interest. I know now place is perfect but the staff here genuinely cares about their residents which shows time and time again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In the past two years both my parents (Ridge Creek) and my in-laws (The Artisan) have moved into the Heritage Community. As a daughter/in-law I am continually comforted by the decision each couple made by moving into a CCRC - Heritage Community. These decisions were not made lightly. I personally researched all the Independent, Assisted, Memory Care living options in Kalamazoo. Meeting with Joe P, learning what Heritage has to offer: its long established local history, and status as a Non- For Profit - as a family we realized Heritage was the best and only choice to make.
My advise to those searching for living options: Now is the Time. It is far better to make the transition early while you can versus when and if a crisis arises. Waiting until you "have to" greatly limits your options. Everyone within the Heritage Community has an aging related issue; that is what makes it unique - Everyone Gets It. Living among others has improved the over all health of all four parents. All are eating better. The food service is terrific - chefs at both kitchens create satisfying and delicious meals. Staff do a wonderful job making everyone feel welcomed and valued.  All are more socially engaged. The variety of social activities is endless. The staff work hard at coming up with a wide variety of social activities.
In looking at the definition of Community: "A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests & goals which fosters a sense of belonging and well being". I believe Heritage Community of Kalamazoo exemplifies this definition. Getting older isn't for sissies but with smart decisions, guidance and support making the transition is not as scary as it was years ago. I highly recommend learning what Heritage of Kalamazoo has to offer you and your family. I encourage interested parties to take a tour and see this special Community in Kalamazoo.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ridge Creek is truly unique among retirement communities, and that is what drew us here.  No other place in Kalamazoo offers such large apartments, high ceilings, large windows, and  underground parking.  However, the most important feature is the outdoor deck or patio for each apartment.  The “icing on the cake” is its central location — ideal for shopping, medical facilities, entertainment, and dining.
