Clark Retirement Community

Clark Retirement Community Offering quality senior living, freedom from the responsibilities of home maintenance, and the security of an on-site continuum of care.

Clark was founded in 1906 through a generous donation by Melvin and Emily Clark. We started as a home for retired Methodist ministers. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved, but delivering compassionate care to our residents remains core to who we are. Today, Clark is an ecumenical community, welcoming people from all walks of life and all faith backgrounds. We are a nonprofit Life Plan Community and home to nearly 500 residents. We employ over 400 people committed to serving older adults.

August is National Wellness Month! Healthy aging is about so much more than staying physically active. Emotional well-being, lifelong learning, meaningful friendships, and good nutrition all play an important role in living well.

At Clark, we support wellness in every aspect of life so residents can thrive each day.

A true staple of a Michigan summer: picking fresh blueberries right off the bush! 🫐💙

Our Clark at Franklin residents enjoyed an afternoon filled with bushels of blueberries, delicious blueberry treats, and, best of all, time spent with friends making sweet summer memories.

There’s nothing quite like a Michigan summer! ☀️🫐

There was so much to discover in our discovery kit from the Grand Rapids Public Museum!

From Mastodons that once lived in Michigan to creatures that used to roamed Kent County, our residents were treated to a unique history lesson they won't soon forget.

A big thank you to the Grand Rapids Public Museum for offering the fossil kit that helps keep our community curious!

For 40 years, Bessie Quinn has been a familiar and beloved face at Clark, caring for residents as a CNA. Her dedication to the people who call Clark home is truly unmatched. ❤️

So, what has kept her here for four decades? The residents and their families.

Nothing makes Bessie happier than being able to care for others, build meaningful relationships and make a difference in the lives of the people she serves. We are so lucky to have had her as part of the Clark family for the past 40 years!

Thank you, Bessie, for 40 years of compassion, dedication and care. Here's to many more! 💙
