About TenderCare assisted living Oakland MI

TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care: Oakland Township, MI

Welcome to a new concept in adult living. At TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care we provide a full range of senior living options. More than just a place to live, we pride ourselves on our extraordinary commitment to nurturing the mind, body, and spirit.

The TenderCare difference can be found right in our name. Because our home for seniors is limited to six residents, we are able to provide a level of personal care that is simply unmatched by large assisted living facilities and nursing homes. TenderCare is a family owned business that we started as a small but meaningful answer to the problems inherent in large, assembly-line style senior care facilities. Caring for your loved ones as if they were our own family has become our passion.

Senior Living Options

Living life to the fullest every day is what we are all about here at TenderCare. From assisted living and memory care to hospice, palliative, respite and daycare, we have you covered.

Memory Care

Memory Care is a long-term care option for elderly individuals who struggle with properly and safely carrying out the tasks necessary for semi-independent daily living. At TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care, we allow our residents with memory loss to live freely within the safe and secure confines of a residential living facility, where they are supervised and assisted by our care professionals.

Assisted Living

At TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care, we encourage the development of healthy habits and positive self-care routines. As individuals decline cognitively, we provide mindful care that allows them to retain both their desired level of independence and their dignity. We offer both fully furnished private rooms, and encourage residents to make themselves at home with familiar furniture, appliances, photographs, books, and more. We provide linens and towels, as well as laundry and housekeeping services, to lessen the burden on families.

Hospice/Palliative Care

At TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care, we offer dependable end-of-life care options designed to ensure the comfort and well-being of both patients and their loved ones.

No matter whether your needs are short- or long-term, the type of care your loved one receives will be individualized and coordinated by an experienced hospice nurse, to best serve the specific needs and preferences of each family. From emotional support resources to pain management solutions, TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care is here to offer dignified end-of-life care solutions to help foster peaceful transitions.

Respite Care/Day Care

Depending on availability, our Respite and Day Care programs for elderly patients most often entail short-term stays. It is usually suggested for seniors who are recovering from a hospital visit or another serious health incident and is also available for caregiver vacations and senior living trial periods.

Nutrition

Here at TenderCare Assisted Living + Memory Care, we take pride in the food we serve our residents. We believe that proper nutrition can improve vitality and make a huge difference in one’s quality of life.

When you inhale the wonderful aroma of onions, garlic, and herbs, and absorb the vibrancy of a kitchen alive with chopping, dicing, and sautéing, you know the food is fresh, nutritious, and delicious. And just because we’re health-conscious doesn’t mean we don’t love our desserts. You’ll savor TenderCare’s sweet treats, and you can count on there always being a healthy choice among them.

I moved my mom from a larger assisted living facility in Oxford to Tender Care a month ago. I can't express enough the gratitude I have for the quality care my mom is receiving. Mashal and her staff are precious gems whose loving care and medical expertise have made such a huge difference! My mom has perked up, is eating more, talking more, smiling more and closer to the mom I remember. She entered a month ago as a shadow of herself and we are now enjoying visits, reading together, remembering special moments together and she is even feeding herself again! The home itself is located in a beautiful setting with Paint Creek and the trail running across the front yard. It is impeccably clean, the food is homemade and my mom is always clean, groomed well and smelling good. As many others have expressed, I wish we would've found Tender Care much earlier in our journey but I am so very very grateful that Mom is here now. I am certain that the days ahead of her will be comfortable and peaceful in this wonderful home.

Mashal and her team provided our dad with the most compassionate care with patience to understand his needs and wants. Their support during this difficult time allowed us the comfort to know he was safe with a team that wanted the best for him. The beautiful setting, homemade food, clean home environment and loving people made this the best choice that I feel blessed that we found for my dad’s final care.

Although my grief from losing my mother will fade, my admiration and love for Mashal and her TenderCare crew will not. My mother was treated with dignity and respect throughout her entire 9 month stay at TenderCare. Mashal hand picked everyone who works there with care, and it shows. Mashal and her crew kept us updated daily on my mother, and I never once had second thoughts after we placed her at TenderCare. I cannot sing their praises enough. Bless you, Mashal, for being the very best at what you do, and for providing 5 star care to your patients, and their families.

Highly Recommend<br>We could not have asked for a more loving and peaceful place for my mom during her final years. From the moment she arrived, she was welcomed not just with care—but with joy, dignity, and genuine affection. The owners and staff have hearts of gold and treat every resident as family, not just in word, but in action.<br>The home itself is immaculate, serene, and filled with warmth. The atmosphere is peaceful and predictable, a quiet rhythm that helped the residents feel safe, settled, and less overwhelmed. Thoughtful touches like home-cooked meals, personalized birthday and holiday celebrations, and a tranquil atmosphere made all the difference. With a low resident-to-staff ratio, mom received attentive, individualized care every single day.<br>Staff members are not only compassionate but highly trained in dementia-specific care. Their ability to manage the nuances of memory loss with gentleness and expertise gave us tremendous peace of mind.<br>They did not just care for her—they celebrated her. She was seen, heard, and loved. The team went out of their way to incorporate her life story, preferences, and hobbies into her care plan. She had meaningful social interaction each day—from music therapy and group activities to pet visits, hair styling, and even manicures that helped her feel like herself.<br>Her journey to the next life was made beautiful because of Mashal, Raj and the loving staff. We are forever grateful.
