Assisted Living Communities in Battle Creek, MI

"There are several different buildings at Friendship Village including a nursing home, assisted living building and a dementia assisted living building. What I toured was the regular assisted living building, which I was extremely impressed with. This facility is extremely beautiful and home-like. Residents have private rooms that they can decorate how they wish. Additionally, there are computers, a library, several dining areas that the residents can socialize at. Also there are several activities that are conducted throughout the day the residents can choose to participate in or not. Activities include discussions on major issues, crafting, group outings, and exercise programs. Unlike other nursing homes, there is not a strict schedule that the resident is forced to follow. They can choose what they wish to do and choose when they want to do it. Staff is on call 24/7 in order to assist with ADLs (dressing, eating, toileting etc.) The staff seemed to be very friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the resident is safe, comfortable and happy.

"Written communications: excellent. Members of staff: well informed, helpful, reliable, very friendly. Amenities: prolific, several things for everyone. Grounds: beautiful, well maintained. Activities: abundant entertainment, outings, instructional events. Good health care options."

"It was fabulous; the staff was helpful and friendly. The apartments were very nice. My parents liked the 2-bedroom, and it is nicely decorated with nice windows. It is a well-built facility, and they liked the indoor parking. They invited us to music night and cook out. When we toured there, it was summer, and it was beautiful. We did eat there a couple of times, and they have a chef that prepares the food. Beautiful facility."

"It was nice and clean. It just didn't appeal to me as much as the other place, probably on the basis of how friendly and outgoing the staff was."

"My sister moved into Bickford of Portage yesterday. I wanted her relatively close to where I live so I could visit her, take things to her, and so on. So that made the decision, the proximity mattered to me. Bickford wasn't real close, but it had a 5-star rating and they had an opening. I was particularly concerned about the 5-star rating, because there were incentives in other places, but they didn't rate very well, and that's probably why they have incentives. I felt that Bickford gave me the best information that I could use. We felt that when my sister entered yesterday, she had a good welcome. They had put things in place, and were ready. The information that I was given ahead of time was useful, as far as floor plans. I was also sent a video of one occupied studio apartment so we could have some sense of what that was like. They were ready to answer my questions, they provided pretty thorough packets of information and there's a variety of them. It was an experience unlike anything we've gone through before, we had a lot of frustrations with that, but that does not necessarily cast any shadow on them."

"The facility and staff are exceptional. I truly feel that my loved one is receiving the very best care. I’m so grateful for every person who dedicated their time to the well being of the residents."

"It is a brand-new facility. They had courtyards where the residents can wander in and out of. I just thought it had a very friendly atmosphere to it. The staff who showed us around was very knowledgeable and very experienced. They have a looped layout so that you can't get lost; you would find your room no matter what because they just go in a circle. They're a pretty simple layout."

"Its a great place from get go. They were able to fill all the paperwork for my mom and have taken care of her since last 3 years. The rooms are airy, well maintained and staff is very courteous and kind. Food is whole some and nutritious. It is a great place for my mom who has enjoyed staying there ever since. I can trust the staff to do the right things. My mom's safety has always been on top of their mind. Highly Recommended!!"

"My friend moved here, and she loves it there. It's excellent, they have excellent nursing care, they have a nurse on staff, and she has several friends that have moved in. They have the standard amenities. They keep them very busy."

"We put my mother-in-law in Lakeview Senior Living. Actually, I had looked into this community years ago for my grandmother, so I already had a pre-existing knowledge of it. They have three different stages of care that they provide with three different facilities within the same area. They provide good amenities. My mother-in-law is pretty much independent/assisted there. The place is very nice and very clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They check them out. They're very accommodating. I like Lakeview. It is really nice. As far as I know, there is a good relationship between the staff and the residents. However, a lot of the people there are still pretty independent. Their rooms are very clean and very nice. In her room, she has a kitchenette, a living space, a closet, and a bedroom, and a bathroom. "

"Heritage is nice and the rooms are spacious. The staff was nice. They serve three meals a day even and you have to pay for it even if you're going to eat there or not. "
