The Best Assisted Living Communities in Allegan County, MI

"My mother lived here for about 3 years. I toured several places over the years in the Kalamazoo area and since they were all for profit, as expected they were pleasant while recruiting me. This is a small facility. The staff greets you by name and like family. I was told that when I toured there but didn't really believe it. There are quite a few activities here. Since I paid my mother's invoice, she was always calling me to ask how much she paid for an activity. I was happy to tell her nothing since like most seniors she worried about running out of money. One really doesn't know however until a problem arises how they will respond. This is what happened with my mother after having a stroke. I could never thank the staff enough for the love, support and level of care given to my mother. Over the years I got to know the folks who worked during the day but after her stroke I got to meet several of the night shift as well and they were also wonderful. When they realized my mother would no longer be a resident, it was then they were at their best. It wasn't about the money. It was taking the best possible care of her while she was still there."

"My father-in-law has moved here. The place is small. It is different than a lot of the bigger communities. However, we feel like our father-in-law is getting very good day-to-day care. The people working there are very attentive and very communicative. When it came time to move him into the place, which we did at the last minute, they were very accommodating and extremely helpful to help us get him in there on short notice. Overall, our experience has been very positive so far. My father-in-law is in a room with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small sitting area. They have three or four activities everyday, which is good. They are taking the residents on outings when they can. My father-in-law seems to like the food too."

"Byron Center Manor looked very nice. The people were friendly. They have nice rooms. The dining area was nice and clean too."

"Park Place Assisted Living is wonderful. I have nothing negative to say. The staff is wonderful. The majority of my father's caretakers have been there at that particular place of employment for over 15 years. He has no complaints about the food. They have a lot of activities like crafts and games. There's a room where they can go, and they have exercise bikes in there."

"I visited Bickford of Portage. What I like most about Bickford of Portage is the location, and they followed up. They have pretty much the same room as the other place. You have to bring your own furniture such as your bed. They also have indoor spaces, a beauty shop, and transportation."

"My mom has been a resident of StoryPoint Portage for 10 months now. It's a very pleasant environment. The staff is outstanding. They're just very friendly, caring caregivers. They go above and beyond. She has just an efficiency. The food is very good. My mom doesn't participate in any activities, but we use the beauty salon services. They have an excellent beautician. There is a very nice courtyard. It's enhanced living. The executive director there knows that we're real pleased with the facility. It's very positive and very pleasant. I just think in general, assisted living and caregiving is just way too expensive."

"We moved my father in from a sister facility, after my mother passed. I was lucky that there was a studio apartment available right away. The staff has been great in caring for my father (who is not the easiest person). I am updated on important issues, that i asked for when we moved him in. Maple Lake is a smaller facility, so the care is very one on one. Which is great not only for a resident, but also family members. Dad has said the food at Maple Lake is better than the previous facility, so that is a good thing. I highly recommend Maple Lake to anyone who is looking for quality care for a loved one."

"I have been to Brookdale Portage twice to look at the place and I'm actually going back there with my son. It was a very nice place. I liked that they had larger bedrooms. The facility looked lovely. It was very nice, clean, and very neat. The staff has been there for many years. I was able to talk to some of them, who have been there for 17 and 19 years, and that tells a lot. The food was delicious. The chef sat at the table with us, gave us a beautiful salad with vegetables and fruits, and everything was cut and displayed beautifully."

"My mom moved to Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids. I like that it wasn't too large for her. There are a lot of beautiful facilities in the Grand Rapids area, but this would seem to suit her personality more. It has beautiful views of a pond and some woods, and my mom seems to like the food. On certain days of the week or months, they will have different musicians come in and play. They do crafts and bingo. They do a "Travel Around the World Series" where they bring exotic places to them, so that's fun. They do a lot of different things. They also have a hydroponic garden that grows green leafy vegetables, which they watch grow and then consume."

"Commonwealth Senior Living at North Byron was nice. The colors were all light and airy, and the rooms were inviting. The staff members were very helpful, informative, friendly, and welcoming. The rooms were a nice size and very comfortable."

"What a beautiful facility. Prompted and welcoming team. Very safe and knowledgeable with the times we are on. I feel like part of a family. "

"I like Rivertown Ridge. It's newer. It's four years old. The people are very friendly. We went through independent living to their memory care. They were very helpful. People were coming up and introducing themselves. They have a large area for walking, a tennis court, and a lovely outdoor pool. It's just a nice feeling. In terms of cleanliness, it's very clean and very well taken care of."

"Riley’s Grove is a beautiful and well maintained facility. It felt very welcoming from the first initial tour we had. The leadership and staff is friendly and helpful, and they are quick to respond back to me with an answer to my many questions. I have never eaten at the facility but the menu looks great! There are a variety of activities for those who want to get involved as much or as little as they prefer. I feel at peace having chosen Riley’s Grove knowing my dad is being checked in on and cared for. All they do is noticed and much appreciated!"
