Adult Family Care and Structured Family Caregiving You Can Trust

Where Comfort and Care
Come Together

Great Lakes Adult Living, established in 2006, is a state-certified Adult Foster Care Home dedicated to providing seniors with a safe, supportive, and truly home-like environment. Our mission is to offer a comfortable and independent lifestyle for seniors and disabled adults who might otherwise require institutional care or nursing facilities. We promote and maintain a non-hazardous environment and prevent non-communicable diseases. We provide assistance to the residents with their daily activities, but in the event there is a decline in health status, Great Lakes will continue to provide total care. We prioritize dignity and personalized attention, all while encouraging family involvement so every resident feels valued, connected, and truly at home.

Why choose adult family care?

Adult family care (or adult foster care) provides compassionate client-centered care for those who need alternative support with daily living. Our services are ideal for seniors requiring additional assistance, as well as individuals who are developmentally disabled, physically impaired, or emotionally impaired.

Structured Family Caregiving

Great Lakes Adult Living also offers Structured Family Caregiving, which allows family to care for loved ones within their homes or the client's home. Through this program, care must be provided by qualified family members, close friends, is 24-hour care, and the caregivers must reside in the same home as the client. We make sure to provide clear information and guidance on eligibility guidelines, care recipient and caregiver requirements, available benefits and services, and the steps to apply.
