A Legacy of Care and Compassion in West Michigan

Clark was founded in 1906 through a generous donation by Melvin and Emily Clark who wanted to provide a permanent residence to retired Methodist ministers. Over the years we've grown and evolved while continuing to deliver excellent living options, compassionate care and meaningful opportunities to our residents.

Today, Clark is an ecumenical community, welcoming people from all walks of life and faith backgrounds. We are a nonprofit Life Plan Community and home to nearly 500 residents. We employ over 400 people committed to enriching the lives of our residents.
