Commerce Township's three senior-living buildings descend in size from The Avalon of Commerce Township, which holds 110 beds on Martin Parkway, through Hampton Manor of Commerce with 45 on Decker Road, down to The Legacy at Westlake with 32 on Bogie Lake Road. Together they carry 187 beds, 57 of them secured for memory care.
Oakland County's population past 65 numbers about 250,500, and the townships along its western lakes take a steady share of that, which is why a building the size of The Avalon can fill in a community this small.
Care Levels Across Commerce Township
Of the four standard care levels, Commerce Township covers three at nearly every address and leaves the fourth to the hospital.
- Independent Living: The Avalon and Hampton Manor both offer apartments, at $4,500 and $3,500, and both keep assisted living and a secured neighborhood inside the same building.
- Assisted Living: All three carry it, at $4,200 at Hampton Manor and The Legacy at Westlake and $5,200 at The Avalon, so scale rather than care explains the gap.
- Memory Care: Every address runs a secured neighborhood, 57 beds in all, with 30 at The Avalon and the remaining 27 divided between the two smaller buildings.
- Skilled Nursing: Nursing-level care sits outside all three buildings and is arranged through a hospital admission instead.
Because all three run the same three levels, the decision in Commerce Township is really about whether 110 residents or 32 makes a better week for the person moving.
Healthcare Access in Commerce Township
Commerce Township is one of the few Oakland County communities with a hospital inside its own boundaries. DMC Huron Valley-Sinai carries 153 beds and runs the Krieger Center for Senior Adults, the Charach Cancer Treatment Center and the Harris Birthing Center, which puts routine specialist work within minutes of all three senior-living buildings.
For anything heavier, Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital sits south with 330 beds and Level II trauma verification, while Pontiac's Trinity Health Oakland and McLaren Oakland add two more Level II centers to the north. The county's Level I destination is Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital in Royal Oak.
What Commerce Township Pricing Looks Like
Assisted living across the township's three buildings spans $4,200 to $5,200 monthly in 2026, Hampton Manor of Commerce and The Legacy at Westlake sitting at the lower figure and The Avalon at the upper.
Memory care runs $5,800 to $6,400, and independent-living apartments are $3,500 at Hampton Manor and $4,500 at The Avalon. Inside a single building the move up from assisted living into memory care adds $1,200 at The Avalon and $1,600 at each of the two smaller addresses.
Why Families Choose Commerce Township
The Ralph C. Richardson Park and Center on East Oakley Park Road puts a senior center, a library branch and recreation grounds on one site, an arrangement that keeps a weekly routine intact after a move.
Dodge Park at the Commerce Road junction adds paved paths and shaded benches for anyone who wants a walk rather than a hike, and the lakes that give the township its shape are why most households never seriously consider leaving.
What a Local Advisor Brings to Commerce Township
Three buildings offering the same three levels means the useful knowledge here is about character rather than category. A Local Senior Advisor working western Oakland County can say which of the 57 secured beds are open, how a 110-bed building feels against a 32-bed one on the same afternoon, and which of the three will hold a room while a MI Choice waiver application is still being decided.
