Fleischman Residence / Blumberg Plaza

Joan

Fleischman Residence was an older place, so it's more well-established and had a lot more things going on such as lectures, movies, and a library where they bring in books from the West Bloomfield Library. The woman who gave me the tour was very, very nice. Although the building was kind of in browns and beiges, I think some parts of it are being redone. The dining area was OK. The room that I saw was smaller (even though it's also being redone) and it didn't have a full-size refrigerator or a washer and dryer in it.

My Mother was a resident of this facility for a total of 8 days. The facilities are substandard. Some of the staff is not experienced and clearly not happy. More than one time I was on the phone with her and heard her spoken too in a very disrespectful manner. Many mistakes were made with her medication and if she asked a question (even when a mistake was made on their part) she was grossly mistreated. Administration is not to be trusted. I sat in a room with two administrators on her first day who completely contradicted each other. The facilities were not clean. The food was horrible. Quite frankly it was also overpriced for what can be found in the area. In my opinion Fleischman also takes advantage of the current Covid situation to do as little as possible for their residents for example wipe down a meal tray. In my opinion it's very important to read and leave reviews about these facilities because in my Mother's case she is now in a much better facility and is being cared for by much more competent and caring staff and administration. The experience of moving into an assisted care facility is already rife with emotion and stress for both the relative and their family. When things go wrong and they are put someplace awful it is an experience no one wants to have.

The Memory Care facilities on the third floor of Fleischman are lacking in several categories. They are constantly understaffed. Residents are left unattended in common rooms which is extremely unsafe for the residents with Alzheimer's disease and general dementia. My relative has fallen several times because no one was available to watch her. The only doctor on staff is a psychiatrist who prefers to medicate with sedatives. There is very little evidence of providing "activities designed to maximize each residents potential" as it says in the brochure. The residents are responsible for bringing their own incontinence supplies including disposable wipes and soap. There is no set schedule for bathing the residents. We've been very disappointed and would definitely NOT recommend this facility.

Jewish Senior Life was very well staffed and very nice. The only thing I didn't like about it was they gave one meal a day, which was dinner. They had a nice classroom and a nice gym. The rooms were nice, and everybody had their own little patio.

Jewish Senior Life was beautiful. We liked it and the location a lot. The staff was very nice and helpful. Their meals were Kosher.

At Fleischman Residence, facilities are clean and residents are provided with many organized activities. Some of which include musical performances, special interest activities, Wii games, movies, and organized outings by the facility. Furthermore, Jewish holidays are observed and celebrated with festivities, special meals, and music when appropriate. All meals (which I must say are quite good!) are kosher and residents can choose from a variety of rooms and apartments to live in. The atmosphere is welcoming and very friendly and open, with visitations and guests frequent from family members, school groups, volunteers, and others in the community. Because Fleischman is one of the oldest and most well-known assisted living homes of its kind in the Metro Detroit area, the Jewish community is heavily involved in the activities and programs that are organized here. Overall, Fleischman Residence is a wonderful assisted living for older Jewish adults and the staff really do make sure that each resident is happy and catered to. Every time I've visited over the past 14 years, the residents that I have encountered all seemed very happy and content with the "Jewish Home", as it was formerly called. And the caretakers and others who work and volunteer here really do an excellent job with what they do...you won't be disappointed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this assisted living to an older relative or friend, it's a wonderful place!
