Residents & Families
We live in a small community, within a uniquely supportive county, surrounded by the natural beauty of water and woods, staffed by people who are your neighbors, your relatives, your friends and housed in a beautifully renovated, state-of-the-art facility.
Following a person-centered approach to long-term care, Thornapple Manor strives to make each day special for our residents. From breakfast-on-demand to late evening movies, from spa treatments to bingo, from visiting the café to listening to the latest tunes of the Herminettes, the day is planned by the residents, for themselves and others.
We believe that each moment in one’s life is special, that each person is unique and deserves the individual care they desire.
