The Best Assisted Living Communities in Berrien County, MI

"Emeritus at Arborwood were very helpful, and the people I talked to were kind. The time that my dad was there, they just seemed very good to him. I’m just so very grateful for that. The dining room is lovely, they have tablecloths on the table. I’ve been there when my dad has eaten, and he likes a big cup of coffee. I can tell that they’re getting to know the residents -- and not just the nurses and staff -- but we were talking about the housekeepers, the dining staff all of that; they’re just very good. What I really most is the people there; they are just very accommodating if some of the residents want to go outside, they accompany them. They’re not trying to do the least amount of stuff. His room is kept clean, and they encourage him to do things like make his bed. I just think the staff is remarkable and very good. He participates in activities; he doesn’t just sit in his room. They have a bible study once a week and exercises throwing the ball around. He probably doesn’t do as much as I would want him to do, but they are doing their very best to encourage him, and it feels like home. "

"The rooms are clean, open and spacious. The natural light and high ceilings make it feel even bigger. The maintenance staff is friendly and responsive. Our loved one has enjoyed the food and the family style seating. Of the 5 communities I toured before making our final decision, Story Point was a constant front runner. The energy of the staff and facility was genuine, welcoming and fun, from the beginning. There is always something going on and the residents spend so much time together in the many comfortable community spaces. The residents I have regularly interacted with have been pleasant and appear genuinely happy. Safety and security is clearly a top priority and the staff is diligent and thorough. Throughout the whole process, introduction to move in, the staff was informative, responsive and honest. If they didn’t have an immediate answer to a question they said so and got one. I completely trust the staff at Story Point and have witnessed, in our short time there, that the kindness, care, individualized attention and connection is ever present and natural. We are so grateful that our loved one is part of the Story Point community. It is enduring the way they already have stories and are forming relationships with neighbors and staff. Without question, a really great fit for our family."

"Tanglewood Trace was one level all around. It's very nice. It had patios, grills, and all those kinds of things. Shawna toured us around and she was very nice, too. She was even going to give my sister a discount for two months. The food looked very good when we were going by it. They have two dining rooms. They have three meals a day and they have a breakfast bar that's always open with cereals, juices, and water that the residents on either side can get. They also have a beauty shop, card games, board games, libraries, and all kinds of stuff like that."

"Caretel Inns of St. Joseph seemed good. We went in the evening, so they were winding down and doing stuff. There weren't a lot of people out and about. The gentleman went into a long discussion about their care and gave us some information about getting medical help. Then he walked us through personally himself and showed us some of the stuff. He did well. The place was clean. They serve meals and do bus outings. They have a hair salon, a massage/spa room, and a little area for eating (that was closed at the time). It's not far from the hospital. There are restaurants within 10 to 15 minutes."

"My husband was in The Willows Assisted Living in St. Joseph. They were very caring and very helpful. It was clean, and everybody was wonderful. He was in their memory care. The food was excellent. The staff was just very helpful. It is a wonderful place to put your loved one in."

"My dad moved into CrownPointe of Stevensville a few months ago. We chose this one for basically the convenience, the price, the cleanliness of the area and the staff. We were familiar with the place. It's right next door to where we live, so they let us come in. The staff members are wonderful. They're also very helpful. The rooms are very spacious, very accessible for wheelchair although my dad is not in a wheelchair, he uses a walker. The doors are nice and wide. Obviously, they have people to come around and clean, and they do a fine job. He likes the food. He said it's very good. He is gaining weight. There is transportation there, but generally we take care of that problem. I think it's the best value for the money. They had some problems in the beginning but they got that all straightened out. I think it's reasonable compared to everybody else."

"Everything is very good and I'm happy with Woodland Terrace, I've had no complaints. My mother's room is very nice and everything meets her needs just fine. They don't have a library, but they have a salon for the residents. Once a week they take the residents somewhere outside the community, like to the zoo, garden, restaurants or some type of outside activity. They also have regular activities inside every day."

"Woodland Terrace was excellent. The food was very good. It was very clean, very neat, and very organized. They had nice rooms with nice lights and fresh air, and everything smelled good. Everything about it was good. The staff was very accommodating and very cheerful. They brought everybody ice creams in the afternoon and were just upbeat and uplifting. The rooms were bright and clean. They had a lot to do, like taking you by bus to concerts and different tables set up for games. The director was there walking from table to table. However, the area was in the middle of a field near nothing and perhaps it would be easier if something was closer to take people to get groceries. They were just not close to anything. "

"The facility itself is very nice and attached to a family home which the owners live in. The owners are courteous, friendly, and seem very competent. The residents were well cared for, and had a fairly strict daily routine. The atmosphere was very "homey", with relatives visiting often, including relatives of the owners. The owner's children are also involved in the family business, and together they seem to have created a unique environment for elderly care. There aren't a lot of amenities here, and I guess that keeps it from a perfect 5-star rating. Then again, the activity level of most of the residents seems pretty sedentary - these are elderly individuals with little independence or desire for interaction. "

"Hamilton Grove was nice. The room that I had visited with a friend of mine that was there was an older complex, but it still was clean. It was very roomy."

"I visited Wellbrooke of South Bend. I would say it was a very clean and safe facility. They were practicing Covid restrictions like they should be, and everyone was friendly. I saw a private room and another one (it's not called semi-private there). Even as a semi-private, there was a lot of privacy to that room. They were good sized rooms with pleasant, bright windows. She was going to get physical therapy, so she would have been well taken care of, I think. I know they had a physical therapy room; I guess you would consider that a gym. I visited the long-term care section, not the assisted living."

"My parents moved to Scheubert Villas from their house and this was a big change for them. I was overjoyed with the staff in all areas who are welcoming and connecting my parents. The dining room staff are so kind and introduced my parents to other people. They do far more than solely serve food, they love on and connect residents telling my parents “this should feel like your home”. Really lovely attitudes all around."

"I like that so many residents like to participate in games and activities. They're very friendly. The staff is great. There's all the comforts of home here. They're pet friendly which is great because I can have my dog here with me and she's friendly with all my neighbors."
