Wyoming wraps around the southwest side of Grand Rapids and is Kent County's second-largest city. Its anchor for senior care is University of Michigan Health-West, the hospital off M-6 in the city's south end, which many Wyoming families use for rehab referrals and geriatric primary care. Licensed homes here skew small -- most are adult foster care homes in residential neighborhoods off 28th Street, Byron Center Avenue and Clyde Park -- plus a few homes for the aged and three certified nursing homes. Because Wyoming shares ZIP 49548 with Grand Rapids and Kentwood, families often widen the search across that whole south-side band.
