FAQ About Assisted Living in Detroit, MI

One of the major differences between a Detroit assisted living community and a nursing home is that a nursing home is very much like a hospital. It is clinical and has the feel of a hospital as soon as you walk in. A Detroit assisted living facility is the exact opposite, with a more social and relaxed feel. It provides the feeling of living at home. Medical care in an assisted living facility is intermittent and sometimes comprises only basic care, and some conditions may require more constant medical care. Assisted living allows individuals to remain independent as long as possible.

Activities of daily living (ADLs) can include:

Dressing and undressing
Food preparation and feeding
Personal hygiene, bathing, and grooming
Mobility and movement

Another differentiating factor between the two types of facilities is that when you are in a nursing home, you are often in a room with two beds and a roommate. When you are in assisted living, you have your own apartment or studio. An assisted living facility gives you large amounts of space where you are free to move about on your own. Nursing homes typically do not offer a large amount of space or the freedom to move as you wish.

Yes, it is possible to get a virtual tour of a Detroit assisted living community. You can find information on our website explaining how to contact an advisor who will arrange everything. However, it is important for you to note that not all the assisted living communities in Detroit provide virtual tours.

Unfortunately, an assisted living facility in Detroit has the right to evict you even if you have a medical reason for being there. It is a legal eviction, and they must follow the requirements.
