Lowell Township, Michigan, Dec. 23, 2024 – Care Resources, a community-based program for people 55 years and older that promotes healthy and independent living while working to prevent nursing home placement, is now welcoming new participants at its new facility in Lowell Township.
Care Resources is a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE®, which is funded by Medicare and Medicaid to provide affordable medical care and home health services to eligible older adults. The Lowell facility is strategically positioned to better serve participants in the nonprofit’s growing service area, including northern Kent County, as well as Barry and Ionia counties. Programming will start on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025.
The program offers a wide range of health care services as well as opportunities that promote socialization, build community and offer respite to caregivers. Participants are at the center of all services, which include primary and home care, rehabilitation, prescription medicine, medical specialists, nutrition services, social services and transportation to and from the day center and to specialty appointments.
The Lowell site is the second for Care Resources, which also has a full-service primary care clinic and adult day center in Grand Rapids, a second in Lowell is now open and ready to accept new participants. The facility will be staffed by 30 teams members and able to serve up to 125 participants.
“We’re so delighted to begin welcoming new participants to our beautiful new Lowell facility,” Chief Executive Officer Kimberly Smith said. “Our new Lowell facility offers a convenient alternative for those who want to access wrap-around supportive services without needing to drive into Grand Rapids.
“If you’re worried you or a loved one may not be able to stay at home safely without support, Care Resources can help provide solutions that promote independence, dignity and a better quality of life. We look forward to a wonderful 2025 and serving more participants in the greater Lowell area.”
The new 16,500-square-foot building was constructed on nearly 3.4 acres of property at 11730 Fulton St. E. The facility features a state-of-the-art rehabilitation/therapy gym, a full-service medical clinic and several participant activity areas.
