Wixom's senior living runs from a twenty-bed house on Pontiac Trail, and it does something almost nothing else in Oakland County does, which is take Medicaid. Courtyard Manor of Wixom I gives all twenty beds to memory care, so the whole house sits inside the secure boundary, and its participation in Medicaid changes what a household of limited means can realistically plan for.
Oakland County counts about 250,500 people past 65, and the great majority of the senior-living inventory serving them takes private payment only. A secured house at the county's western edge that does not is worth knowing about well before the money becomes a question.
What Courtyard Manor of Wixom Covers
Two care levels are provided here, both from within the same secured house.
- Independent Living: Not part of the arrangement, so Wixom households at that stage keep their own houses and add support as the years require.
- Assisted Living: Charged at $4,500 a month where a resident needs help through the day but every neighbour is also living with memory loss.
- Memory Care: All twenty beds at $5,200, and the house accepts Medicaid, which is rare enough in this county to change the shortlist entirely.
- Skilled Nursing: Beyond what the house does, so nursing care begins with a hospital admission and gets arranged there.
The combination of a secured setting and Medicaid participation makes Wixom the answer to a question most Oakland County towns cannot answer at all.
Healthcare Access in Wixom
Hospital care for this corner of the county lies east and north, beginning with DMC Huron Valley-Sinai at Commerce Township, which runs 153 beds, a cancer treatment centre and a dedicated unit for older adults.
Corewell Health Farmington Hills follows east, 330 beds carrying Level II trauma verification, and beyond that the destination is Royal Oak, whose 1,101-bed hospital carries the county Level I designation, the transplant service and proton-beam treatment.
What Wixom Pricing Looks Like
Courtyard Manor of Wixom I asks $4,500 monthly for assisted living in 2026 and $5,200 for memory care, both toward the lower end of the Oakland County range.
The private figures matter less here than at most addresses, because the house participates in Medicaid. For a household watching savings shrink against a private rate elsewhere in the county, that participation is worth more than several hundred dollars a month of difference, and it is the first thing to ask about rather than the last.
Why Families Choose Wixom
Gilbert Willis Park covers 46 acres off Loon Lake Road at the north end of the city, with room for a proper walk and quiet ground to sit on rather than a strip of grass beside a car park.
Wixom sits close enough to Novi, Walled Lake and South Lyon that grown children working across western Oakland County can arrive without planning a journey, which for a secured house matters more than it would elsewhere because visits are the thing that keeps a resident anchored.
What a Local Advisor Brings to Wixom
A Medicaid-participating secured house in this county attracts enquiries from a long way off, so knowing what is genuinely free is the whole of the value. A Local Senior Advisor covering western Oakland County reports availability at Courtyard Manor directly, explains how Medicaid works at this level of care and what a household would still pay, and starts the application early enough that no gap opens.
