The Best Assisted Living Communities in Calhoun County, MI

"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."

"It is exceptional. They’re very good, and they keep the residents active and hydrated. The staff that toured us knew everybody in the building. The rooms are great. They have private rooms too, and they’re very nice. They have a beautiful library, and they’ve got arts and crafts. The lodges are homey, but still compact. "

"I went to look at Bickford of Portage. It's a beautiful building. I love the décor. The woman who walked us around was very friendly. I would probably live there. I love the style of the place. The lady was very nice. The rooms had a lot of variation. It wasn't just one style of a room. They all had kitchenettes, which I liked. I like the variation in the rooms. They had tons of amenities like outdoor areas, a library, activity room, sitting rooms, and tons of different scheduled activities. She gave me a full tour, and I appreciated that. One thing I thought was strange is they didn't show me the price upfront, which I thought was a little sketchy as I have no idea how much they cost. The woman that I met was wonderful. She answered all my questions. She was nice. The building was beautiful. I loved it. It was my style."

"My mom is 90 years old and she needed immediate assistance. I needed an assisted living facility that fit my budget and included range of services. I was glad that Stanford was one stop Shop and provided all services my mom needed at one affordable cost. The rooms were well lit and illuminated with natural light and the food was based on my mom's need. After 2 and a half months of my mom being there, I can proudly say that Stanford is her home away from home. They are taking great care of her. "

"My mother-in-law is in Verona Adult Foster Care Center. We are happy with it and hopefully she can remain there. I choose it because I know the girl that runs the place as I went to school with her. I hear a lot of good things about this place. It is also convenient for us to go visit her three times a week. If my mother-in-law possibly gets worse down the road, we may have to move her. But for now, this is a good place for her. They are good to her. What we like best is that it's like home. She is comfortable there and they have everything they need. They have a lift chair. The have a number of staff for the residents. It is originally someone's home that they turn into a facility and the owner is hands on. She generally like working with old people and it shows. She's very caring. If I have to go into a nursing home tomorrow, that will be where I want to go. "

"I like the cleanliness of The Villa At Winston Court. It's a beautiful place. It's homey. I like the owner and the way he explained things and I like the whole layout. It's a smaller facility. He's got plenty of staff. It's beautiful surroundings. All around I was pleased. It looks good. The owner was very nice and explained things, but the test comes when my husband is there and how they take care of him. From what I saw, it was pleasing, and this is where I would feel comfortable. And I have several people that are there that I know and visit, and of course, they say nothing is like home. Everybody said, 'I wish I could stay home, but this is the best place. This is a safe place.' It's clean. Sometimes people complain about food, but everybody cooks a little differently. This is institutional food. The only thing I might say is they don't have a chef that cooks, and it's the staff that cooks."

"Lakeview was very nice, and the staff seemed friendly and willing to talk to us. We talked to a few people who lived there who seemed very happy with the arrangement. There were very nice rooms of, I think, 10 studios and the rest were one-bedrooms and maybe a couple of two-bedrooms. They were nice and airy, and a lot looked out into the woods, so people had views. They had a garden area and an outside area where people could get outside. Some rooms faced the courtyard, which was of a nice, large size. They did go and have some trips out. They had a nice dining room right off the lobby. One of the nice things we liked about this one was there were a lot of places where you could sit and watch people coming by and chat with them, sit with a book, or just watch what's going on. You could do a walk-in bath tub and schedule time for a whirlpool bath. The Lakeview has three buildings that are all run by the same company, and one of them is strictly memory care. The people are more independent; it's not independent living, but they're a little more mobile and everything there, so we liked that. The people were just a little more independent and able to get around. "

"Heritage was a very nice place. It was in a very good location. Everything was beautiful and very clean. I met a couple of people there, and they were all very nice. "

"We have our father right now at The Colonial House. Amy, the owner, is wonderful. She cares about the residents. She is very understanding and caring with the family members themselves and the residents' friends. The house is open. It's pretty much their home. She makes it the residents' home. They can have visitors whenever. They can come and go whenever. She keeps them involved in things like, right now, we're doing a Christmas party. We did a birthday party for some of the guys. She invited families for Thanksgiving. She welcomes the family as much as she welcomes the resident. The staff is really good, very attentive and compassionate. The facility is clean and safety is their priority. The staff is just as wonderful. I have not had any problems with the staff. My dad loves the staff. They're there for their needs. They have call buttons in their rooms and if the staff is not right there, the residents will have call buttons that they can use and someone will come. I've been there when they ate like for their birthdays and stuff. They got to choose their own dinner. It was my dad's birthday, and they asked for steak and they all got steak. They cooked out on the grill. They have fresh, homemade food. They get a full meal and they get desserts. They have snack time if they want snacks. Many of them have refrigerators in their room. They have a nice dining area that all of the residents can sit together at once and have dinner as a family. It's more family-oriented. They have two living room areas. Every room has its own TV. They have TVs in the living room. They can go sit in the living room. They have enough bathroom facilities. Their laundry gets done every single day. I have no complaints. I haven't partaken in a lot of the activities. I know they have bingo and stuff like that. They would paint their nails. I go and play cards with my dad, and they have birthday parties together. We're getting ready to have a Christmas party together. They just play silliness and fun sometimes. The owner takes pictures and sends them to the family of fun silly things they do. I have nothing bad to say about them. The care and the treatment that my dad is getting are above and beyond what they're being paid. I recommended it to my best friend for her sister, and my sister was there as well."

"The staff was nice and very proactive with the resources they had. some places Ive seen the staff members are rude and just want your money, this place is different. "

"The staff is amazing. Perfect small set up and the treat your family like their family. Home cooked meals and very cost effective. When my grandfather was close to passing they were always keeping me up to date. Once he passed they made sure we had all we needed and he was ready. They talked with us and knew it was a hard time. They were great with special occasions and trying to keep everyone involved. "
