Ahava Group

For over 10 years now, Ahava Senior Care has earned the reputation in providing seniors the care they need, whenever they need it.

Whether it’s home care or assisted living, Ahava provides a safe and secure environment, providing everything one’s loved one needs. The company’s team is trained in memory care, wound care, disability, physical and occupational therapy and more, all under the supervision of qualified doctors and 24/7 nursing care. Every aspect of care has been carefully designed to maintain a ‘quality of life’ with dignity and respect. Over the years, families have told Ahava that they have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in expert, compassionate hands and receiving personalized attention around the clock.

Ahava combines its high-end services with a personal touch that sets its care apart from other assisted living homes. Each new resident has a dedicated care manager, making the transition into its senior care environment as smooth as possible. Ahava believes in providing one-on-one attention. Its team works to understand the needs and preferences of residents when designing their care plans.

Enhancing this personal connection is Ahava’s use of technology. Its app connects the family with real-time updates on the loved one’s care. The technology strengthens the important bond between caregivers, families and physicians, ensuring families remain involved. This provides a level of comfort and reassurance that their loved ones receive compassionate, expert care, making them feel right at home.

A vibrant social life is present with Ahava residents. It offers a wide range of activities to keep residents engaged, both mentally and physically. The care team encourages participation in various activities and therapies, whether it be recreational, music, arts and crafts or games. Its programs are designed to keep the body moving and the mind active. Ahava tailors its programs to each resident’s needs and interests. The company also offers special amenities, like beauty salons, theaters and game rooms, to enhance resident’s quality of life, while promoting a sense of community.

“Some individuals came to us more than eight years ago, having no hope, and were already in hospice care. Today, those same individuals are still with us—thriving and embracing life in ways we could never have imagined. One resident even went on to write a book! Witnessing such remarkable transformations reaffirms the power of the compassionate care we provide and reminds us daily of the meaningful impact we have on the lives of our residents,” states Claude Marit.

When Claude and his wife, Daniela Marit, founded Ahava 13 years ago, their passion, time investment and tireless effort made the company what it is today—a trusted facility with a stellar reputation, whose residents come primarily from family referrals. It has also taken years to build a committed and passionate staff, and Ahava’s core team holds the vision and is committed, with many still working with Ahava for over a decade now. As a commitment to excellence, every staff member is required to complete 32 hours of continuing education each year, ensuring its staff stays current with evolving care standards, equipping them to deliver top-quality care residents expect and deserve.

Ahava’s services are not just premium in quality but are also priced with accessibility in mind. Rather than charging for the luxury of amenities, Ahava structures its fees based on the level of care each unique resident requires. This thoughtful approach allows Ahava to be considered over other high-end providers. It takes into consideration each of its resident’s financial situation so they are assured that they receive exceptional care without incurring the heavy financial burden typically associated with similar facilities.

Ahava’s is proud to be partnering with multiple private and state-owned agencies to address a significant gap in care—by creating a facility tailored for developmentally disabled and mentally challenged young adults. This expansion of Ahava’s exceptional services is just one way they plan to further support other underserved groups, such as the elderly and individuals with special needs.

As one of the largest care providers serving Oakland County, Michigan, Ahava remains humble to its roots with the understanding that every resident is unique and needs a personalized program. This allows Ahava to maintain its high standards to deliver access to exceptional ‘quality of life’ service with compassionate and specialized care to the communities that need it most.

With over 25 years in building businesses, Claude Marit, owner of Ahava, has developed three key principles that are at the core of Ahava’s success:
DAILY ROUTINE, TOP PRIORITIES and EMERGENCY RESPONSE.
• DAILY ROUTINE – Order and predictability are in place to ensure smooth daily operations, all of which provide a sense of “routine,” giving its residents confidence and stability.
• TOP PRIORITIES - When urgent matters arise, priorities allow the team to adjust swiftly, breaking from routine as needed to shift priorities for its residents as needed.
• EMERGENCY RESPONSE - In critical situations, the focus shifts entirely to “patient-focused” care, ensuring first-response intervention is implemented.
Together, these principles have enabled Ahava to provide individual care for their residents at the time they need it. Its team is able to responsibly increase their care without sacrificing quality. Ahava does this all while fostering a strong, family-like environment, while delivering exceptional care.
