What to Consider About Assisted Living in Spring Arbor
Spring Arbor Township, the township of springs, appealed to pioneers traveling through south central Michigan in 1833. Today, 121,890 people call the township home, 11.3% of whom are seniors aged 65 or over. Those over 60 can congregate at the local senior center for lunch, wood carving, knitting or crocheting classes, fitness classes and information on area resources for the elderly. Other seniors, who may find they need assistance with the tasks of daily living, can turn to three local assisted living facilities or 14 more in nearby communities.
The Department of Human Services licenses and regulates homes for the aged, as assisted living facilities are called Spring Arbor and the rest of the state.
