Westwood Inn on 23 Mile Road is the largest senior-living building anywhere in this part of the county, running 147 beds across independent living, assisted living and 35 secured memory-care rooms. It accepts pets, and it is the only senior-living address in Macomb Township.
The county's population past 65 comes to roughly 170,200, some 19.2 percent of residents. Macomb Township grew faster than almost anywhere else in the county over the past two decades, and one building of this scale is how its senior living has kept pace.
What 147 Beds Cover Across Three Care Levels
Scale is the defining feature here, and it changes what a single-community township can offer.
- Independent Living: Apartments from $3,500 a month for residents managing on their own, with both care tiers already inside the same building for later.
- Assisted Living: The largest share of the 147 beds, covering help with medications, bathing and dressing at a scale that keeps staff on every shift.
- Memory Care: Thirty-five secured beds, which is more secured capacity than most whole towns in this lane hold across all their buildings combined.
- Skilled Nursing: Not licensed on 23 Mile Road, so round-the-clock nursing happens at a facility elsewhere in Macomb County after a hospital stay.
A township with one building would normally mean a narrow choice. At this size it means the opposite, since three tiers and 147 beds cover most of what a household is likely to need.
Healthcare Access in Macomb
Macomb Township sits between the county's two Level II trauma centers, both a short drive away. Henry Ford Macomb Hospital at Clinton Township runs 361 beds with a primary stroke center, cardiac care and an inpatient rehabilitation unit, while McLaren Macomb at Mount Clemens holds the same trauma level across 288 teaching-hospital beds.
Beyond Level II the routes leave the county, running toward Detroit's east side and Royal Oak, where Henry Ford St. John Hospital and a 1,101-bed Corewell Health campus both carry Level I verification. For a Westwood Inn resident that puts two full hospitals within about twenty minutes and the deepest trauma capacity inside an hour.
What Macomb's Pricing Looks Like
Westwood Inn prices independent living from $3,500 a month in 2026, assisted living at $4,200 and secured memory care at $5,600, which places all three tiers at the gentler end of what Macomb County charges.
Scale is a large part of why, since a 147-bed building spreads its fixed costs across far more residents than a twenty-bed home can, and that shows up in the monthly rate. A fee falls due when a resident moves in, and short stays carry a nightly charge.
Why Families Choose Macomb
Macomb Township filled with families over the past thirty years, and the parents who moved here when the subdivisions went up are the ones now looking at senior living within the same few square miles.
Staying inside the township means the grandchildren are minutes away rather than across the county, which for households that chose this area precisely for that proximity is the whole point of not moving further.
What a Local Advisor Brings to Macomb
A building this large is rarely short of space; the question is which tier has it, and how quickly the 35 secured rooms turn over. A Local Senior Advisor tracks all three levels at Westwood Inn, checks what the pet policy actually permits, and can walk through an AgeWays waiver file, since the building bills no Medicaid.
