Welcome Home To The Park At
Trowbridge… In The Center Of It All!
By Maureen McDonald
S
weeping renovations to The Park
at Trowbridge will make this senior
residence an ideal place for luxurious
and spacious senior living.
The Park, located in Southfield on
a boulevard street close to major free-
ways, offers a full variety of amenities for
seniors. This includes a sunlit atrium,
greenhouse, library, full-service beauty
salon and barber shop, and card and
game room. This community also features
its own media room for viewing movies.
The most stunning improvement is its
dining room, where residents enjoy two
chef-prepared meals a day included with
their rent. Executive chefs prepare a menu
with up to 14 options for dinner, whether
it is all-day breakfast or a variety of
healthy and flavorful entrees. A convivial
atmosphere invites guests and residents
to launch a conversation that leads to
cherished friendships.
The remodeling starts with new,
compassionate management, the most
important element of any community.
Rochelle Upfal, executive director, brings
her 35-year career in the senior housing
field to The Park at Trowbridge. She was
CEO of Jewish Senior Life and served for
28 years as an executive with Wingate
Management Corporation.
Upfal has helped oversee this multi-
million-dollar renovation to please new
and existing residents. The community is
owned by investors from New York and
local investor Jack Bodenstein, who bring
strong connections to the Jewish com-
munity and real estate development in the
Detroit metropolitan region.
The ownership selected Presbyterian
Villages of Michigan to manage The
Trowbridge. Presbyterian Villages owns/
manages 30 communities in Michigan.
The organization was named Crain’s best-
managed nonprofit in 2016. The aim is to
roll out the red carpet and welcome each
resident as part of The Park family.
“We are extremely excited to serve
residents and to strengthen The Park at
Trowbridge’s quality reputation,” Upfal
says.
Residents have programs galore to chal-
lenge their mind, soothe their souls with
spirituality and expand their interests.
Programs include concerts, book clubs,
poker games, horse racing, discussions
on current events, canvas painting and
Mahjong. Exercise classes include yoga
and tai chi for flexibility and mindfulness.
Physical and occupational therapy are
offered onsite.
From a private balcony, residents
overlook a 10-acre campus, a creek and
walking trails. The spacious apartments
run $1,650 for a one-bedroom to $2050
for a two-bedroom, two-bath. All have full
kitchens, pantries and walk-in closets.
The newly renovated dining room and lobby
The Park’s accessible bus takes resi-
dents on outings to the Detroit Institute
of Arts, to tours of Corktown and
Mexicantown, gaming at the MGM Grand
Casino or watching a movie at the Maple
Theater. The bus also takes residents on
frequent trips to Meijer, Noah’s Market
and Walmart. Individuals can sign up for
chaeuffered rides to the doctor or nearby
family in a 2017 Volvo sedan.
“I’ve lived here for nine years and this is
the best management company yet,” says
Naomi Siegel, an artist and photographer,
who takes advantage of the shuttle often
for adventures and shopping trips. “They
care about us.”
Upfal notes that The Park at Trowbridge
is an independent living community with
a 24-7 concierge and a roster of caregivers
that can be brought to an apartment on a
moment’s notice.
“Call us today to join our wonderful
Park at Trowbridge community where
neighbors become family,” Upfal says.
People find delicious food, smart design
and the dearest of friends awaiting them.
