Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, offering independent senior living in an apartment-style setting. The community provides seniors with a variety of services designed to support both an active lifestyle and daily needs. Residents have access to meals, housekeeping, scheduled wellness checks, an emergency response system, transportation services, and a wide array of organized social activities. The environment is designed to foster a sense of community, with communal spaces, wooded grounds, and varied amenities such as a workout room, library, and on-site barbershop and beauty salon.
Although Sentinel Pointe advertises a range of supportive services and activities, the facility primarily serves independent seniors rather than those requiring assisted living or memory care. Assistance is generally provided in the form of scheduled wellness checks, standby supervision for daily tasks such as bathing and eating, and some physical support with dressing. The staff can also provide basic support with medication management and arrange for podiatry services, but medical care for more advanced needs or memory support is not part of their offerings. Additional amenities include fitness programs, yoga, chair yoga, and outdoor walking paths to promote physical well-being. The community emphasizes continued independence while offering some supervision and resources that help residents maintain their daily routines.
Transportation options at Sentinel Pointe include both complimentary and at-cost services. These transportation services are available for residents needing to attend medical appointments, as well as for non-medical outings such as shopping or community events, supporting residents’ ability to engage in local activities and meet essential needs outside the facility.
