Twenty Secured Rooms Inside an Eighty-Eight-Bed Campus
The Orchards at Redford Village on Six Mile Road holds twenty secured memory care rooms inside an eighty-eight-bed campus, and quotes them from $5,800/mo for 2026. No other township address is licensed for the level, so $5,800 is a published rate rather than an average, and assisted living together with nursing beds accounts for the remaining sixty-eight.
That ratio is the thing worth noticing before a tour is booked. A household looking at an eighty-eight-bed campus reads it as a large building with room to spare, when the part of it this page is about holds twenty places and no more. Secured capacity is the scarce commodity on Six Mile Road even though the address is not a small one, and a family that assumes size means availability will find the queue for one fifth of the building behaves nothing like the queue for the rest of it.
What Moves the Figure on Six Mile Road
There is no second address in the township, so the variation lives inside the assessment and the room. Grading counts staff minutes rather than symptoms, so continence care and help standing lift a level faster than memory loss by itself does, and the count is redone at each review rather than fixed on the day a resident arrives.
Room choice is the second lever and is real in a building this size, since a companion arrangement sits below a private room and the difference is worth asking about before a tour rather than after one.
The third is what this campus carries that most secured settings do not. Nursing beds sit on the same site, so a resident whose medical needs outgrow the secured neighborhood does not have to leave the address, and the community takes part in Michigan's Medicaid route as well. For a household weighing a stay measured in years rather than months, those two facts shape the arithmetic more than the opening figure does.
What the Rate Carries on a Campus This Size
Housing, heat and light come first, then meals with whatever prompting they take, then the laundry and cleaning a secured setting generates, and around all of it a locked perimeter watched by staff who do not sleep. Daily help sits inside the figure only to the depth the grading reaches, and where that depth ends belongs in writing before anything is signed.
Charged separately are the entry fee, the graded level itself, continence supplies, hairdressing and prescriptions. A campus that also runs nursing beds keeps therapy and clinical services close, which trims the escorted-appointment line that inflates a bill in a market without them, and respite stays are available, so a trial week is possible before a household commits to a longer arrangement.
Respite First, Then the Room
With twenty secured places and one address in the township, timing decides considerably more here than budget does. A respite stay is the practical opening move, because it puts a resident inside the neighborhood for a week, shows a household how the late afternoon actually goes, and keeps the family visible to a building whose secured list is short enough that visibility matters.
Around it, complete the assessment early and assemble the medical file, meaning the doctor's statement, tuberculosis clearance and the medication list as it currently stands. Then ask the two questions that matter on a campus like this one: what the wait for a secured room looks like this quarter, and how a resident moves between the secured neighborhood and the nursing beds if the time comes, since having both under one roof is only an advantage if the path between them is clear before it is needed.
