Now Open: Our Newly Renovated Respite Wing
Recover, recharge, and experience exceptional care at Burcham Hills. Whether post-hospital or for a short stay, our respite care is here for you.
As East Lansing’s only Life Plan Community, Burcham Hills offers more of what you want in retirement living: an engaging, maintenance-free, independent lifestyle complemented by an on-site continuum of care, including assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, and outpatient rehabilitation and therapy.
Most importantly, we offer you choice. Unlike other senior living communities, here you can select the option that works best for you: the peace of mind of a Life Plan contract that guarantees access to care at prearranged rates or the flexibility of Independent Living Plus, a monthly rental option. That’s the freedom, joy and confidence you’ll find only at Burcham Hills.
