About University Living

University Living accommodates approximately 80 individuals within a specialized community setting located in Ann Arbor. This residential capacity allows for an intimate yet active environment where daily routines revolve around tailored support. Within the total resident population, approximately 16 beds are specifically designated for memory care, providing a secure and specialized wing for individuals with cognitive support needs.

The architectural layout integrates both assisted living apartments and dedicated memory care accommodations under one roof, establishing a cohesive residential environment that supports varying levels of assistance. Daily schedules at the community incorporate structured assistance with daily activities, medication management, and mobility support delivered by trained staff members on site. Dining rooms serve three prepared meals daily, accommodating individual dietary preferences and nutritional requirements within a shared social setting.

Common areas host routine group activities, cognitive engagement exercises, and social gatherings designed to encourage interaction among neighbors. Staff presence remains consistent throughout the day and night to respond to scheduled care plans and individual assistance calls promptly. Pets are permitted to reside within the community alongside their owners, maintaining familiar companionship and routine for incoming individuals.

The surrounding outdoor areas and interior walking paths offer safe spaces for residents to stretch their legs or spend time with visiting family members. Housekeeping and laundry services are integrated into the regular weekly routine, relieving individuals of domestic maintenance chores. Scheduled transportation options facilitate local outings and medical appointments outside the grounds. Financial arrangements at the community operate on private pay structures, as Medicaid is not accepted for residency costs or ongoing care services.

The admission process involves a comprehensive evaluation of care needs to ensure the appropriate placement within either the assisted living or memory care neighborhood. Staff members coordinate closely with outside healthcare providers when supplementary therapy or medical oversight is required by an individual care plan. Family involvement is welcomed through open visiting hours and participation in seasonal community events or family dining nights.

Communication channels between staff and designated family contacts remain active to relay updates regarding health status, care adjustments, or upcoming community activities. The physical environment prioritizes safety through secured perimeters in the memory care neighborhood and accessible navigation pathways throughout all shared indoor spaces. Maintenance teams address apartment upkeep and environmental safety checks routinely to ensure continuous comfort for every occupant.

Transitioning into the community involves personalized onboarding steps where staff members help new arrivals acclimate to dining times, activity schedules, and neighboring residents. The focus remains on preserving personal independence while supplying the necessary level of daily support for assisted living and memory care participants. Each care plan undergoes periodic internal reviews to adapt to changing physical or cognitive needs without requiring a relocation to a different facility. This continuous adaptability defines the operational philosophy maintained across the Ann Arbor grounds.

    Poor transportation not as promised when choosing this facility. Dining room dirty and lacks staff, won't even mention the food. Some care givers could use additional training, severely understaffed with trained personnel. Could use faster response to pendant calls.…

    I had an incredibly disappointing and stressful experience with University Senior Living that I feel other families should be warned about. After initially being quoted a monthly rate of approximately $5,000, which fit our budget, the facility waited until just two days before…

    What a wonderful community. The staff and residents are so warm and friendly. They make difficult conversations easy and you can feel the genuine affection they have for wanting to care for your loved one. I got to sit in on a bingo game with the residents and could not stop…

    Excellent facility! Feels like you're staying in a very nice hotel on vacation as opposed to a nursing home. Glenna was our contact and she was absolutely amazing! Very personal, very professional. Passionate about her job and also compassionate. 10/10 experience!
