Sunrise of Troy

Sunrise of Troy is an assisted living and memory care community at 6870 Crooks Road in Troy, Michigan, where both levels of support share one building and 21 beds are set aside for memory care. Residents live in private suites that include their own bathroom and a kitchenette, so each person keeps a space that feels like home even though help is close at hand. The building is wheelchair accessible, and the dining room, activity spaces and suites are connected so residents can move through the day comfortably.

Suites are furnished and climate controlled, with cable television, wireless internet and an in-room telephone, and assisted living is offered in a studio layout while memory care includes both shared and private bedrooms. People who like to bring their own chairs, photographs and keepsakes can make the room feel familiar, and the kitchenette gives them a place for a morning cup of coffee or a snack between meals.

Housekeeping and laundry services are part of daily life in the community, which leaves more of each day for the things residents enjoy. Meals anchor the day, with an in-house chef preparing food from fresh ingredients and serving it in the dining room or, when someone prefers, in the suite. Menus can be adjusted for diabetic, low sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, allergy-sensitive and pureed diets, so residents with dietary needs can still sit down with their neighbors and eat well.

Shared tables give meals a social rhythm, and many residents look forward to catching up with friends over lunch before heading to an afternoon program. Daily programming mixes movement, creativity and conversation, including chair yoga, tai chi, stretching classes, book club, bridge, trivia, choir and live music. Cooking, a garden club and quilting or sewing offer hands-on choices, while movie nights, happy hour gatherings, holiday parties and day trips give residents a reason to enjoy time together and see more of the surrounding area.

A mix of group and individual choices means a person who prefers a quiet afternoon with a book can do that just as easily as someone who wants to join every class. Shared spaces include a library, a movie room, a game room, an activity room, an arts room and a fitness room, along with a garden and walking paths outdoors for fresh air in good weather. Faith services are offered for those who want them, and some activities are organized by residents themselves, which keeps the calendar feeling like it belongs to the people who live there.

Residents can visit the library for a quiet hour or gather in the activity room when a group is forming. Care in the community includes round-the-clock supervision, a call system and an emergency alert system, plus hands-on help with bathing, dressing, transfers and other daily activities. Medication management is part of the routine, and staff coordinate with each resident's health care providers so that the support in place matches how a person is doing from one season to the next.

Help with incontinence, diabetes and mobility needs is also part of the care offered, so many people can remain in the same suite as their circumstances change over time. The memory care setting offers sensory-based programming for people living with dementia or memory loss, built around familiar routines and calm group activities. Families who visit can see how the schedule is paced around comfort and reassurance, and residents who enjoy music, gardening or simple tasks find ways to take part at their own speed.

Having memory care in the same building as assisted living lets spouses and friends stay close, and families can visit both settings during a single tour. The community sits on Crooks Road in Troy, Michigan, in a central part of the city that keeps errands and appointments within reach for visiting relatives. Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital is about 4 miles away, which is useful for relatives who coordinate appointments for a parent.

Pets are welcome, so a resident's companion animal can often move in too, and visiting family can stop by easily on the way to other plans in the area.
