Lansing Assisted Living - Senior Care Options

Michigan's capitol city offers plenty of activities for the retiree. Before searching for a Lansing assisted living facility (ALF), find out what makes this college city special.

Lansing is home of Michigan State University (MSU) and an iconic car company. MSU, founded in 1855, is one of the country's top research universities. It's a focal point of activity for Lansing whether it's a Spartans football game, the Abrams Planetarium, the Beal Botanical Garden, or the MSU Museum's three floors of ever-changing exhibits from evolution to the cultures of Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Ransom E. Olds (REO) founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in Lansing in 1897. The name changed to REO Motor Care Company and was eventually bought by General Motors in 1908. GM stopped producing the Oldsmobile brand in 2004 after nearly 100 years. Learn more about one of Lansing's most famous sons at the RE Olds Transportation Museum. On display is the first Oldsmobile built in 1897.

Take a walk through Michigan's past from prehistoric times to the present at the Michigan Historical Museum. You'll find a one-room schoolhouse, a 1920s street scene, 1957 Detroit Auto Show and more located on four levels.
