Thoughtful Assisted Living to Fit Your Life
At Golden Orchards, Assisted Living isn’t about one-size-fits-all care. It’s about exactly the level of help you need — and nothing more. Residents live in private or companion suites that feel like home, while trained caregivers are on-site 24/7 to support daily tasks and promote independence.
Residents enjoy a lifestyle that blends ease and enjoyment. Highlights include:
- Private and companion suites designed with comfort and dignity in mind
- Farm-to-table dining — wholesome, restaurant-style meals cooked by a professional chef
- Scheduled transportation for appointments and outings, plus weekly housekeeping and linen service to simplify daily living
- An active social calendar with events, outings, and resident-centered activities
With Assisted Living at Golden Orchards, you or your loved one can offload the burdens of home maintenance and daily chores — and reclaim time for the things that bring joy, connection, and peace of mind.
Memory Care Rooted in Compassion and Respect
For seniors experiencing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, Golden Orchards offers its signature Sweet Memories™ memory care program — a secure, dignified neighborhood where residents are known and cherished as individuals. The focus isn’t just on safety, but on preserving connection, identity, and comfort.
Key aspects of the Sweet Memories™ program include:
- Individualized care plans tailored to each person’s history, preferences, and evolving needs
- Personalized routines and familiar surroundings to minimize anxiety and provide a sense of stability
- Daily support with activities of living — from bathing and dressing to dining — delivered by specially trained staff

The goal is simple: to honor each resident’s story, support their well-being, and give families peace of mind knowing their loved one is cared for with deep respect and genuine compassion.
A Lifestyle Shaped by Nature, Community & Care
What truly makes Golden Orchards stand out is how life flows here — naturally, gently, and with purpose. Set on a tranquil, countryside property just east of Fennville’s historic downtown, the community offers more than assisted living or memory care: it offers a lifestyle shaped by beauty, connection, and comfort.
Imagine morning strolls along wooded paths, afternoons spent in sunrooms or by the water fountain, and evenings at shared meals or a creative workshop. From quiet reading nooks to lively activity spaces, Golden Orchards balances opportunity and calm with a thoughtful variety of experiences, including:
- Outdoor spaces: landscaped gardens, patios, walking paths, and plenty of fresh air to enjoy peaceful moments or gentle exercise
- Engaging programs and outings — from seasonal festivals and drives to the lakeshore, to local trips to nearby towns like Saugatuck or Holland
- Cultural enrichment: art workshops, pet therapy, music, and social events, gardening, and thoughtfully curated resident activities
