University Senior Living is an assisted living community located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Catering primarily to seniors who require daily support, the community offers assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, and medication management. Accommodations are provided in a variety of apartment styles, and residents have access to amenities including restaurant-style dining, housekeeping, and pet-friendly policies. While the primary services focus on assisted living, the community also offers supplementary support for residents with memory care needs.
Care and medical support at University Senior Living encompass the presence of nursing staff to monitor health and assist with medical needs. The facility provides medication management to ensure proper administration and compliance, incontinence and ambulatory care, dental and podiatry services, and access to therapy rooms for physical and occupational therapy. Hospice care is available when needed, though some residents and families have noted concerns regarding the consistency of medical oversight in these circumstances.
The community features several on-site amenities aimed at holistic well-being: a barber and beauty salon, massage therapist services, fitness and yoga programs, and outdoor walking paths. Residents have access to creative, social, educational, and spiritual activities, with a calendar featuring daily physical fitness classes, scheduled group trips, and resident-sponsored clubs. Memory care services are available for those experiencing cognitive changes, in a secured environment with design considerations specific to individuals with memory loss. However, some reviewers have cited limited activity programming and religious services in memory care units, and variable staff training for dementia-related care.
University Senior Living also offers laundry and dry cleaning services, though feedback has indicated occasional challenges with consistency in laundry service and housekeeping. Brain fitness-oriented activities, such as Dakim programs, are available. The community’s secured facilities support those at risk of wandering.
Transportation services at University Senior Living are provided on a complimentary basis for both medical appointments and non-medical purposes, such as scheduled group excursions, shopping trips, and community events. These transportation options support residents’ engagement with the broader community and access to necessary external services.
In terms of dining, resident and family reviews reflect a mixed experience; while some appreciate the food and liken it to restaurant-quality, others find the menu options limited in variety. Residents and families generally describe University Senior Living as friendly and engaging, with staff who demonstrate patience and a willingness to accommodate residents’ needs. There are, however, concerns expressed regarding staffing levels, staff turnover, response times, and communication with the administrative team. Room sizes are sometimes considered small, and billing practices have drawn criticism regarding clarity and transparency.
Despite these reported challenges, University Senior Living is often described as providing a clean, safe, and inviting community with a range of activities and a commitment to maintaining residents’ dignity and comfort, particularly for those with less intensive medical requirements.
