Our Historical Building - Past & Present
An atmosphere of old-world charm permeates the Villa Maria.  Nestled by trees, our community reflects historical architecture with brick exterior, tile roofs and the appeal of days gone by.

The Villa Maria is located in a historical landmark, on six beautifully landscaped acres on the Northwest side of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Established back in 1904 by the Contemplative Sisters of the Good Shepherd, our six main buildings are nicely spaced, as well as conveniently connected by enclosed passageways.

In the spring and summer months our enclosed courtyards where residents gather to laugh and reflect, are ablaze with flowering trees and blooming perennials.

 

 
     

 

Dining, Old-World Style...
Our three dining rooms are truly inspirational and a pleasant experience in old-world charm. The main dining hall was originally a chapel when built in 1904. Residents enjoy the beauty of the original stained glass windows surrounding the room. Family members are always welcome to dine with our residents.

We offer a complimentary continental breakfast and several meal plans to choose from. Residents may choose to prepare their own meals in their apartments, or meals prepared by the dietary staff can be enjoyed in the dining room. Residents may come down to one of our three dining rooms and sit with whomever they choose.  Residents have rotating menus, and may select what they'd like.
 

Chapel
Our beautiful chapel, with its original stained glass is a point of reflection and worship. The chapel offers convenient weekly religious services and is always available for private prayer and meditation. We offer non-denominational services as well as Mass to all of our residents.

 
   

Transportation
In addition to their own personal vehicle or public transportation, we offer our residents shuttle bus service for shopping excursions, group events, medical and individual personal appointments.
