UNIQUELY EQUIPPED FOR DEMENTIA CARE.

Providing care at home for those living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias is understandably challenging, and choosing residential care is a big decision. Heritage Community of Kalamazoo has been helping seniors and their loved ones by providing care with dignity, respect and advanced training for over 30 years.

Invaluable caregiver resources available in our unique on-campus community resource called The Memory Care Learning Center, as well as senior living memory care apartment homes in both Hawthorn Landing and Meilland Square, provide incomparable comfort and the familiarity of home. We offer prompt and intuitive care as needed with complete respect for your loved one’s dignity and preferred daily activities.

Each Memory Care neighborhood has its own pricing structure, giving you options as you decide what best suits your budget and needs. But both are staffed with professional, respectful caregivers who are trained in the Best Friends™ approach to care — meaning no matter where on our campus your loved one lives, they will be getting the best available support.

 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.

The Assurance
of On-Campus Care

Every aspect of Memory Care is made easier by knowing residential care is available on campus. As family members and friends come to visit, they’re greeted at the door by welcoming staff. Each meal is prepared with residents’ specific needs in mind. Similarly, Memory Care programming is uniquely designed to ensure all can participate.

Comfort is the key to Memory Care, for your loved one and for you. As your loved ones’ health needs change over time, providing financial predictability and removing the worry of where and how the necessary care will be provided.

Heritage Community has long been recognized for its outstanding approach to health and well-being, offering the full continuum of care services in affiliation with both Bronson Methodist Hospital and Ascension Borgess Hospital, southwest Michigan’s leading health systems.
