Grow. Embrace. Strengthen.

Resthaven has a rich, 77-year history of faithfully caring for seniors. We are the sole non-profit senior living community along the Michigan lakeshore. We understand our responsibility to grow our services, embrace best practices, and strengthen our buildings and programs for the future.

We rely on the generosity of our community to achieve these goals and provide the robust care, services, and living spaces to serve our valued aging seniors.

Will you make your gift to us this Giving Tuesday?

Here are the initiatives your donation will support:

Grow. Resthaven’s newest projects, The Farmstead and The River Place, will add 125 independent living units and 24 assisted living memory care units. In addition, we continue to invest approximately $1.5 million annually in our existing communities, for which there is no additional reimbursement.

Embrace. We strategically purchased and enhanced our technology platforms this year. This has helped us embrace efficiency, providing better communication for staff members, residents, loved ones, and medical providers. Resthaven has increased its workforce by 25% over the last 3 years to embrace the necessary changes to serve our community. Your donations make these advancements possible.

Strengthen. On average, Resthaven provides $4M of Benevolent Care each year. Simply put, there is a roughly $4M gap between what 50% of our residents can afford, and the actual cost of quality care on a yearly basis. Strong community support allows us to continue to provide a safe and engaging life for residents.
