Enriched Living was founded in 2017 with the mission to make premium care accessible to all. Our warm homes are in safe neighborhoods and welcoming communities. We love West Michigan and get out and about regularly–volunteering, participating in events and having fun! By having a group of homes we have the unique opportunity to provide socializing between the homes as well as being able to tailor our homes to different living experiences.
The wait list is not first come first serve. Because each of our homes are customized to suit the needs of certain individuals we may not always have an opening for everyone. For example, the opening may be specific for a female with high medical needs only.
When you complete the online placement form our Residential Director will reach out to you shortly after and discuss you or your loved ones needs and help you get a better feel for what Enriched Living has to offer and what the timeline looks like. Our Residential Director then will have a better feel for which home you may be waiting for a spot to open at and share that information with you.
One home is located in Howard City. Two homes are located in Walker. One home is located in Rockford. For more information please see our homes page.
