Drews Place of Coldwater offers assisted living and specialized memory care in two intimate residential homes located in the heart of Coldwater, Michigan, just behind the Community Health Center of Branch County.

Designed around a small-home model, Drews Place emphasizes personal relationships, comfort, independence, and compassionate support for seniors as their needs change.
The Drews Place approach to care is rooted in treating residents as individuals and creating an environment where people feel known, valued, and respected. Each home has only 20 private rooms, allowing staff to provide attentive, personalized care and become familiar with residents’ routines, preferences, and life experiences. Licensed nurses oversee the homes, while trained staff members are available 24 hours a day. Services include medication management, assistance with changing personal care needs, emergency response through an in-room call system, and support with activities of daily living. The care team encourages residents to remain as independent and active as possible while providing a helping hand whenever additional assistance is needed.

Beauty and barber services are available for added convenience, while housekeeping and laundry services help eliminate many of the responsibilities associated with maintaining a home.
