Porthaven Manor

Porthaven Manor, located in Port Huron, MI offers independent living. Visit Provider Website

Two different one bedrooms start at the same rent here, and one of them is 123 square feet larger. Which one is open in the month you are looking decides whether you get that space or pay the same for less of it.

Porthaven Manor is independent living for residents 62 or better in Port Huron, MI, run by The Associated Management Company, who operates the community. Rents are stated with the square footage beside them, which is rare enough that you can compare this building with another one in town before you ever make contact.

Apartments and Rent at Porthaven Manor

Three plans carry a size and a price:

• One bedroom, 1 bath, 630 sq ft, from $1,404
• One bedroom, 1 bath, 507 sq ft, from $1,404
• Two bedroom, 1.5 baths, 770 sq ft, from $1,649

The two one bedrooms are the same money, so the 630 is the one to ask about first. Availability moves month to month, which makes a quick question about what is actually open worth more than a long look at floor plans.

What the Rent Does Not Cover at Porthaven Manor

This decides more than the rent does. Meal service and home health care are both optional services rather than part of what you pay each month, so setting this against an assisted living building where three meals a day are included is not comparing the same thing. A request through Get Pricing gets you the meal plan cost and the home health rates alongside the rent, which gives you one whole number to compare instead of three partial ones.

Inside the Apartments at Porthaven Manor

Every apartment has a full kitchen, central air conditioning, a walk-in shower, a private patio or balcony, a storage closet, and monitored pull cords. The full kitchen is the detail worth noticing, because it means genuinely cooking for yourself rather than reheating, and that is the line between independent living and a room with a microwave in it. The pull cord and the walk-in shower are the two features that let someone stay independent for longer.

Dining and Daily Life at Porthaven Manor

Meals are served in The Walton Room Restaurant, and family are welcome to eat there with you. A full-time Activities Coordinator runs the calendar, which covers group exercise, bingo, art classes and craft projects, movie nights, happy hours, puzzle time, birthday and holiday parties, and a wellness program the community calls Live Well. A Grocery Shuttle runs as well, so a real weekly shop stops depending on whether you still drive.

Amenities at Porthaven Manor

A fitness center, a library, a mini theater, a billiards lounge, an arts and crafts studio, a cards and games gallery, a beauty and barber salon, a convenience store on site, a fireplace in the common area, free Wi-Fi, and organized transportation. The store and the shuttle together are what keep the building workable once driving stops, which is the change most people are actually planning around.

Pets at Porthaven Manor

Most cats and dogs are welcome, with breed limits and other restrictions the community does not spell out. No weight limit, pet fee or deposit appears either. Describing your dog by breed and size when you first make contact gets you a straight answer while you still have other options open, rather than after a lease is signed.
