How much does The Bradford Senior Living cost?

LARA does not publish rates, so ask The Bradford Senior Living for its written rate sheet and any care-level fees. For context, memory care in Metro Detroit typically runs $4,800 to $6,800 per month in 2026.

Paying for it: Michigan's MI Choice Waiver can pay for personal care and supports for eligible residents of a licensed Home for the Aged or AFC home, but it does not pay room and board, and not every community accepts waiver participants. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance. Ask both questions on the first call.

How should I evaluate The Bradford Senior Living?

Read The Bradford Senior Living's latest LARA renewal inspection and its special investigation reports, then visit at a mealtime and again unannounced, and ask how the memory care team would handle a resident whose needs change.
