Assisted Living Communities in Allendale, MI

"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."

"My father has moved into American House Holland. What made us choose this place is the location, the friendliness of the staff, and the knowledge and condition of everybody in the building as well as the building itself. It's very clean. My father has a 350-square-foot studio apartment. It's very nice and open. He has large windows for plenty of outside viewing. And it's conveniently located close to where he eats, so he doesn't have to walk very far."

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

"Freedom Village Holland was very nice. The food was excellent. The staff was very good, but you have to move to Holland. They don't have garages. The grounds are not pretty, but they have a beautiful facility. We've stayed there overnight. Their activities are very good. It costs more there, so you don't get as much value for your money, but I still think they're great. They have bus activities, they have travel activities, they go to different countries as groups, they have a full-size Olympic swimming pool in the facility, a jacuzzi, and a hot tub. They have an attached care facility. It's a quality unit. There's nothing wrong with that facility other than it's just big. It's seven stories and big problem is the slow elevators. If you want to go to supper, you take your time."

"Mom just got transferred here. We really like the people there. They're really friendly and bent over backwards to help people, and they seem to work well with people with dementia. She has a nice big room with windows that let a lot of sunshine in. She's happy with her room. It's a private studio. They have activities all the time during the day for the dementia people. They have trips where they go to the store and do stuff in the area. They have a courtyard so you can go outside. They've got it all. It's all fenced in, so you don't have to worry about your parents wandering off. My mom was really happy with the first meal she had there. It's really nice the way it was laid out."

"Excellent care, and good communication with family. Compassionate staff. We would recommend in the future."

"I toured Woodland Gardens. That one was very nice as well. They have a live-in guy, which is kind of cool. So he's there all the time, and then he has a couple of days off where other people come in. Other than the ones who came in to help out when we were there, he was making cookies and making lunch and doing it all. He lives right there, so there's somebody there at night all the time. They don't have to worry about somebody calling in at night to not show up or somebody having to work a double because somebody doesn't show up or whatever. I guess all their buildings have a live-in person. They have up to six residents. They have single rooms with half baths. They have a tub and shower room that they can shower in, and the bathroom itself has a toilet and a sink. The manager-owner himself came out, and all of those who were working there were very knowledgeable about everything as well. He'd been there for four years, the fellow that lives there. He was doing laundry, and there was a pile of laundry on the couch that had to be folded."

"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."

"My father-in-law will be moving here. It's beautiful; the apartment that he's going into is very clean and spacious. The bathroom facilities are wonderful. The staff was very informative and very friendly. The dining area was very nice. It's still kind of short because of the COVID, as far as being able to eat in the dining room itself, but it's coming back. It looks very nice, and the chef even came out and introduced herself to us. The activities are limited right now because of Covid. They have a spa and a fitness room. They have a beauty shop, a nice library area, and a nice little bistro area along with their dining room. It was very nice and very clean, I was very happy with them."

"American House Spring Lake was nice. It had a two-bedroom-two-bathroom that it could have gotten there, but the view out the window kind of turned me off because it was overlooking the parking lot. I don't want to spend my days looking at a parking lot. The apartment itself was great, but the view was horrible. The person I spoke with was very patient because I don't move fast because I use a walker. She was very patient and very thorough about what was available. I got the chance to see most of the facilities, and they seemed to be nice. Everything looked good. She had put some effort into my visit to the point that she had a little gift bag for me with some stuff in it. I saw the weight room, and they had a laundry service, too."

"The guy at Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris was phenomenal. He showed me the rooms, he showed me the facilities, and he showed me where they make the dinners. The guy was on top of everything. He gave me all kinds of advice. He spent about an hour and a half talking with me. The room was beautiful. The place was beautiful. It was phenomenal. Everybody was very hospitable. They were very lively, and they were rambunctious. I think they're probably told that, 'Hey, when you see someone walking around, you just express yourself like hey, good morning or hey, good afternoon.' They acknowledged you. That's why that's the place I'm picking for my wife. If she is going to go anywhere, that's where she is going to go."

"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 visited. The staff was very helpful, she took me to their newly renovated dining area, and the core part of the building. She did a beautiful job at showing me the facility. It was wonderful to see her greet people by name, so it seems like they knew their residents quite well."

"I toured this facility. The rooms were perfect. It's exactly what we needed. It still might be on our list. The staff was great. Everything was great. It's a perfect match for us, but for some reason my mom is reluctant to go there. The food looked good, too. They have a two-bedroom available plus a washer and dryer in the unit. They have an exercise room, they have movies, and they have special gathering rooms. They have it all. It's brand new, too."
