Community Resources
The comprehensive and convenient services provided through Northwood Community Apartments contribute to making your apartment or town house a home. We seek to address the social, educational, and recreational needs of the diverse population through these many community services:

Public Schooling
All Northwood Community Apartment residences are located within the Ann Arbor Public Schools district. School-age children living here are transported by school bus to the excellent public schools in the local area. Public School assignments are designated by the apartment address.

You may contact the Ann Arbor Public Schools at 2555 South State Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48106, (734) 994-2200, or at the Ann Arbor Public Schools web site.

North Campus Family Health Services
Conveniently located in the Northwood II area , North Campus Family Health Services (NCFHS) provides a full range of primary health care services for Northwood residents. Operated by faculty from the University of Michigan School of Nursing, NCFHS is staffed by professional nurse practitioners and nursing students. It provides comprehensive health exams for men and women, well-child care for infants and children (including immunizations and developmental assessments), and well-woman care services (including gynecological exams and birth control provision). Assessments and prescriptions are also offered for minor acute illnesses such as back and joint pain, colds and flu, ear infections, and minor injuries. Health education classes are also offered periodically on such topics as childbirth preparation, baby care, breastfeeding, and CPR and first aid. The federal Women, Infants, and Children program, which provides free food coupons to low-income families, is also available through NCFHS.

Most services and classes are offered by Family Health Services for small or reduced fees, and health insurance including M-CARE/GradCare, Medicaid, and Chickering is accepted. NCFHS is an MCARE PCP site. Call NCFHS to find out what other insurance plans are accepted.

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
The University's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), provides confidential counseling, guidance, and information to individuals, couples, and families. Services are free to enrolled students and their spouses or domestic partners. CAPS recognize that the experiences of students and their families can be stressed by the demands of University life; handling the very human issues that we all find ourselves facing at times may require the help of a qualified professional. Workshops on such issues as stress management, marital and couples enrichment, and parenting are offered throughout the year and have been designed to meet the unique needs of student families residing in Northwood Community Apartments. Free child care is provided when possible. Specialized family services are available upon request, and home visits can be arranged. Telephone consultation is also offered.
