Walnut Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care in Kentwood, Michigan operates as a residential care home designed to meet both everyday and clinically complex needs. Residents have access to respite stays, structured physical therapy sessions, diabetes management, physician oversight, and on-site speech therapy. Short-term stays are available for recovery periods or caregiver relief, and each service is coordinated to maintain continuity of care within the same setting.

Clinical support is reinforced by a secured community layout and a multidisciplinary team that includes licensed nurses, occupational and physical therapists, podiatry, optometry, and hospice professionals. The community is specifically configured for memory care, offers medication management, and provides continence and ambulatory assistance. With both assisted living and independent living options on the same campus, residents can transition between levels of care without leaving the property.

Accommodations range from studio and efficiency apartments to units with in-suite kitchenettes and washer-dryer setups. Some residences offer wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, while others may feature outdoor patios, a central fireplace, or pet-friendly policies for cats. Because layouts vary, not every apartment includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific details during a tour.

Dining emphasizes choice and nutritional balance. A professional chef prepares three daily meals with optional all-day dining, guest meals, and periodic BBQs or picnics. Menus cover international cuisine as well as vegetarian, organic, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar selections to align with individual dietary plans and medical recommendations.

Residents can stay engaged through an activity center, library and computer lounge, and arts and crafts studio. Scheduled programs include yoga, tai chi, fitness classes, Wii bowling, reminiscence sessions, community service outings, live-well health workshops, happy hours, wine tastings, dances, birthday celebrations, and group walks on outdoor paths. Social clubs, swimming opportunities, and off-site excursions round out the calendar, helping residents maintain physical conditioning and social connections.
