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."

"We really liked American House. That was actually my and my husband's first choice, but the another place opened a 1/2 mile from my mother-in-law's house. We got the information from caring.com and called them. We were really impressed because they sent somebody out right away to evaluate my father-in-law's condition, then took us on a very informative tour through the eating facilities and all of that. We were very happy with them. I liked the rooms. Some of them had a bed right in the room and some of them had a separate bedroom. My father-in-law would have been in the highest level of care. So they probably would be feeding him in his room. The people were very friendly in the hallways, even a lot of the residents seemed to be quite friendly. We thought it would be a good place, but my mother-in-law wanted a place closer to home. "

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

"My tour at The Cortland of Northview was very good and very thorough. I was concerned because they showed me double beds in a room. They said that that's what my friend could afford, and maybe it is, but I'm looking for someplace he can get a studio or something. Everything was beautiful. It was a very well-kept facility. They had a gym, and they said there were lots of activities. I really like it except for the double bed. It was a very nice community. I visited it several times before. The person who gave the tour was very thorough and very good. She was very informative and very personable. She knows what she was talking about. The outside was nice."

"The experience at Robbinswood Assisted Living was OK. They took me on a tour and they explained everything. The rooms were small. The building had three floors. My wife would be in the memory unit because she has Alzheimer's, so she would be on the top floor. They didn't have a lot of rooms to wander around in. The girl who took me around was pretty knowledgeable and very nice. They have two different dining areas. My wife would be in the memory care dining area, which is on the third floor. I didn't see too many activities. It didn't seem like a real good place for me and my wife."

"The thing I like the most about Woodland Gardens is the price. It's not real fancy, but that's fine because my husband doesn't need fancy, and we don't need to pay for fancy. I like the owners. He was just a very personable guy, and he understood what we were going through. It's only $4,000 a month, and the price will not ever change as long as my husband is there. They aren't going to raise the rate, and that is a good thing. It's out in the country. My husband can go outside and do things which he loves. We got to actually speak with the owner, and he was really thrilled because my husband loves to shovel snow, and he loves to do things outside. He was just a good guy. It's not really a huge place. I just hope that my husband would be happy there."

"We toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids. We didn't have an appointment. We just walked in and asked if we could visit the facility. The sales representative wasn't there, but one of the directors was, and she was happy to answer our questions, and she took us on a tour. She was very nice and very helpful, and we liked the facility. The only thing was, it was a little closer. That was the only thing that we were debating about. We like that it sits back off the road, so it was more wooded. It was where the metro was more urban, and so we liked the more country feel. It wasn't as opulent as the other facility, but it was very nice. They have a little courtyard that looked out over a pond, a nice little place where the residents could walk and sit outside and enjoy the weather."

"We went there and had a good tour. The girl that showed us around was very informative. It’s a nice facility. "

"American House Spring Lake was a wonderful place. My mother liked it a lot, so we're having some discussion over it. We are trying to see what we're gonna do. The designs of the apartments were wonderful. They're spacious, and they looked like home. It's not just one room, so it's really nice. We actually spent some time in the independent area because that was the one that seemed to fit my mother's needs right now, but we were in the assisted living. We saw a couple of different places, and that looked very adequate for anyone that would've needed it. We met a couple staff members, and they were very friendly and very informative. We met one of the chefs, and she was really informative, too. I was really satisfied with this place."

"I have lived at Addington Place at East Paris for over a year now. I reside in the assisted living setting on campus. It is comfortable. The staff is good. My room is comfortable. "

"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."

"The rooms are spacious and homey! Kathy the activities director is amazing, always planning appropriate activities which my mom loves. She never gets bored. She is very happy there snd feels love from the staff!!"

"My father is in StoryPoint Rockford. I took a visit with my dad and that's the place that kind of stuck with him when we talked more seriously about it. He liked what they offered, and he enjoyed the food. It's just a nice facility. It's nicely set up. People seem to be available if you've got a question. It seemed to be clean. He's in a studio apartment, so it's one room with a bathroom. They have different programs and events scheduled. They've got music and some of them play the piano. They have musical guests a couple of times a month who will do a musical setting for the residents. There's bingo. They do some theater or virtual symphony presentations. The staff is friendly and tries to connect with the residents such as my dad. The food we had during the tour was well prepared. Sometimes, he's had some disappointment with the food, but other times he's enjoyed it. Early on, communication for what's available and what the benefits are wasn't as clearly portrayed or shared as I would have liked to see."
