Our History
Rest Haven Homes is not about the brick and mortar, but the loving care that dwells within its walls. Founded in 1941, in a single, family home in Alpine Township, Rest Haven Homes was started as a conservative, Bible-based home to meet the needs of those who were unable to care for themselves. Because of growth and the increasing interest by residents and families to be a part of our service ministry, we moved to two larger locations in Spring Lake and northwest Grand Rapids.
Through the years, we outgrew the beautiful property in Spring Lake and the stately home in Grand Rapids. It was in 1963 that we opened the doors of a newly constructed, one level home. Over the years we have added additions to the main building and constructed thirty-seven independent living apartments on our six-acre property. With our keen awareness of the growing needs of future generations we are continually striving to improve our environments through expansions, modern design and offerings and yet keeping the home-like feeling.
