Assisted Living in Troy, Michigan

A parent who moves into Golden Pines usually stays in the same city they already know. The same hospital. The same pharmacy. Often the same church and the same doctor. Nothing about the medical picture changes because of a move, and for someone in early cognitive decline, that continuity is worth a great deal.

Two Homes, Two Ends of the City

Herbmoor House is at 6131 Herbmoor St, on the north end of Troy in the 48098 ZIP, closest to families coming from Rochester Hills, Auburn Hills, Bloomfield and points north.

The Daley Home is at 3178 Daley Dr in 48083, on the southeast side near I-75 and Rochester Road. It is the easier one to reach from Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, Warren, and anywhere in Macomb County.

They are about three miles apart. That is deliberate, and it is worth knowing before you visit: families almost always have a preference once they have seen both, and it is rarely about the houses. It is about which drive they can make on a Tuesday evening without it becoming a project. Being in Troy is what makes both of those drives short.

Why Troy Searches Turn Up "Adult Foster Care"

If you have been looking for a while, you have probably run into the term and wondered whether it means something different. It does not, quite.

Michigan does not license a category called assisted living. It licenses adult foster care, administered by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. The license type is partly about size, but not only: the two smallest categories overlap in capacity, and what separates them is whether the licensee lives in the house. A small residential home like ours and a hundred-bed community can both call themselves assisted living in their advertising, because that phrase is marketing language rather than a legal one. The license is the part that describes what a place actually is.

Both of our homes are licensed adult foster care homes. If you want the categories laid out properly, we wrote about how Michigan's four adult foster care license types work.

What Care Costs in This Part of Michigan

The 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey puts the median assisted living cost for the Detroit metro area, which is the survey region Troy sits in, at $6,217 a month. Michigan's statewide median is lower at $5,818, and Ann Arbor is the most expensive metro in the state at $8,647.

We give real numbers rather than a range because a range is how families end up touring places they were never going to be able to afford. Our own pricing depends on the level of care a person needs, so the honest answer is a conversation rather than a number on a page. We will tell you on the phone whether we are in your range, before anybody drives anywhere. There is more detail in our breakdown of what assisted living actually costs in Troy.

The Hospital Question

For a lot of families, this search does not start calmly. It starts in a hospital room, with a discharge planner explaining that going home alone is no longer realistic.

In Troy that hospital is usually Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital on Dequindre Road. Both of our homes are a short drive from it, which matters twice: once when a parent is discharged into our care, and again later for the follow-up appointments that a hospital stay always generates. In August 2026 Corewell announced a roughly $440 million expansion there, an eight-story, 423,000-square-foot tower with 180 private rooms, with construction expected to start in 2027. The hospital your parent uses is going to be a bigger part of Troy for a long time.

If you are calling us from a hospital room, say so when you call. That situation has its own timeline and we will treat it that way.

Who Our Homes Suit

We are a good fit for someone who needs help with the ordinary business of a day (meals, medications, bathing, dressing, getting around safely) and who does well with familiar faces and a quiet house. We care for residents through the end of life, and families should know that going in, because it means a move here is usually the last one.

We are not the right fit for everyone, and we will say so. If someone needs skilled nursing around the clock, a nursing home is the safer answer, and we would rather point you there early than have you find out late.

Come See Both

Call (248) 266-2738 or email [email protected] and we will show you both houses on the same visit. Walk through the door, sit in the living room, meet whoever is on shift. Fifteen minutes in a house tells you things that no website can.

The Troy Historic Village sits on West Wattles, eleven old buildings arranged around a gazebo and a green, holding what is left of the 1800s settlement and the town that grew after it. It is a mile or so from Herbmoor House, in the same ZIP code. I like that Troy kept it. A city this built up could easily have decided that eleven small wooden buildings were not worth the land. Somebody argued otherwise. Keeping small old things intact in the middle of something large and modern is more or less the whole idea behind how we run our homes.
