The Gilbert Residence

The Gilbert Residence, located on South Huron Street in historic Ypsilanti, Michigan, is a nonprofit skilled nursing community with deep roots in Washtenaw County. As a community-oriented, mission-driven facility, The Gilbert Residence offers residents the kind of individualized attention and consistent, familiar care that can be harder to find in larger corporate settings. Its South Huron Street location places residents in the cultural and historic heart of Ypsilanti — a city with a rich identity shaped by Eastern Michigan University, a vibrant arts scene, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. Families choosing The Gilbert Residence benefit enormously from Ypsilanti's proximity to world-class healthcare. University of Michigan Health (Michigan Medicine) in Ann Arbor is just minutes to the west, offering residents and families access to one of the nation's top academic medical centers. Saint Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, located in nearby Ypsilanti Township, is also close by and serves as a primary regional hospital for the community. The Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area is rich with amenities — from the shops and restaurants along Michigan Avenue and in downtown Ann Arbor to beloved local spots like Depot Town, with its historic charm, boutique shops, and the popular Sidetrack Bar & Grill. Frog Island Park and Riverside Park provide tranquil green spaces just a short distance away, and Eastern Michigan University's campus adds to the walkable, community-oriented character of the neighborhood. As a nonprofit corporation, The Gilbert Residence is guided by a genuine commitment to residents rather than profit margins. The care team focuses on dignity, respect, and comprehensive skilled nursing services, supporting residents through recovery, rehabilitation, and long-term care with warmth and professionalism. For Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor area families seeking nonprofit skilled nursing care with a personal touch, The Gilbert Residence is a valued community institution. Contact them at (734) 482-9498.
