What to Consider About Assisted Living in Allendale
Allendale is 10 miles north of the Grand Rapids Metropolitan Area and has roughly 18,000 residents. Because it's home to Grand Valley State University, it is typically seen as a college town, but seniors make up about 5% of the population.
In Allendale, seniors who need supportive services may receive them at one of 36 local assisted living facilities, two of which are within the city. These facilities are officially called homes for the aged, since they're for adults age 60 and older, and they are governed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
