Clark Retirement Community Offering quality senior housing, freedom from the responsibilities of home maintenance, and the We started as a home for retired Methodist ministers.

Clark was founded in 1906 through a generous donation by Melvin and Emily Clark. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved, but delivering compassionate care to our residents remains core to who we are. Today, Clark is an ecumenical community, welcoming people from all walks of life and all faith backgrounds. We are a nonprofit Life Plan Community and home to nearly 500 residents. We employ over 400 people committed to serving older adults.

The Plaster Creek Stewards and Clark have built a wonderful relationship to support the local ecosystem while beautifying the neighborhood and educating residents.

With the addition and expansion of multiple rain gardens around Clark's Franklin campus, we can support the watershed, mitigate invasive species, and promote a variety of native plants that will thrive for years to come.

Then, they provided a tour of multiple other rain gardens in the area and detailed the impact projects like this can have.

It's partnerships like these that turn into friendships and exemplify what makes life vibrant at Clark.

We laughed, we learned, we played!
Clark Foundation's Leading Ladies gathered for an inspiring evening celebrating the heart of the Clark Promise—ensuring benevolent care for all who call Clark home.

Keynote speaker Maggie Lancaster, CEO of the Grand Rapids Children's Museum, reminded us that play isn’t just for kids—it’s a lifelong joy! Her message was perfectly paired with a little friendly competition: virtual golf and dodgeball, anyone?
