The Avalon of Bloomfield Township

The Avalon of Bloomfield Township is an assisted living and memory care community on West Square Lake Road in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, where a dining room with an all-day menu, a café and a grill sits at the center of daily life alongside a garden and walking paths. The building is a full-size community rather than a small home, so residents have shared rooms for meals, exercise, hobbies and quiet afternoons all under one roof.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant style, with menus that include international dishes and options for special diets such as low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, pureed and diabetic-friendly plates. The café and grill give residents a casual place to meet a neighbor or a visiting family member between meals, and the dining room gives each day a familiar rhythm that many people look forward to.

Apartments come in several layouts, including private rooms, studios and one-bedroom homes, and many include a kitchenette and a private bathroom along with furnishings, climate control and Wi-Fi. A call system and an emergency alert pendant keep help within reach at any hour, and staff provide supervision through the day and night so that residents can settle in with confidence and families can rest easier.

In-room features such as cable television and a telephone help people keep up with the friends and programs they enjoy, while the shared lounges and activity rooms are close enough that company is never far away. Assisted living centers on help with bathing, dressing, transfers and medication management, offered in a way that lets each person keep as much independence as they want. Housekeeping, laundry and coordination with outside healthcare providers are part of the support, and care is adjusted as needs change so that a resident does not have to start over somewhere new when more help becomes useful.

Memory care serves people living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, with 34 memory care beds and a program built around sensory activities, gentle routines and meaningful engagement. Caregivers focus on patience and familiar cues, which helps residents feel secure and connected even on days when memories are harder to hold onto, and the structure of the day stays calm and predictable.

Specialized programming, a cognitive learning center and sensory-based activities give staff many ways to spark conversation, music and memory, and families are welcome to take part in celebrations and visits throughout the week, which keeps the memory care neighborhood feeling connected to the wider community around it and to the people who matter most to each resident. The activity calendar includes bridge, a walking club, a garden club, choir, live music, trivia, cooking classes and movie nights, with a game room, a library, an arts room and a fitness room for yoga, chair yoga and stretching.

Day trips take residents out into the surrounding area, and faith-based services as well as volunteer programs give people ways to stay connected to the traditions and causes that matter to them. The spa and wellness spaces add a quieter option for residents who prefer to unwind, and residents are free to start their own clubs or gatherings with neighbors who share an interest. Outdoors, a garden and walking paths offer a place to sit, stroll or visit with family when the weather allows, and pets are welcome, so a beloved companion can often move along with its owner and remain part of the routine.

Short-term respite stays are also available for family caregivers who need a break or for people who want to try the community for a few weeks before making a longer commitment. The community sits at 100 West Square Lake Road in Bloomfield Township, in northern Oakland County, which makes regular visits practical for relatives who live across the region. Trinity Health Oakland Hospital is about 1 mile away, and McLaren Oakland is about 3 miles away.

Errands, restaurants and medical offices are a short drive from the surrounding residential neighborhood, which feels quiet, familiar and easy for visitors to navigate.
