Assisted Living Communities in Douglas, MI

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

"Mom was at American House Jenison for three weeks. The staff was very friendly. The nurses called me to find out how my mom was when she went into the hospital. They're just very nice. They worked very quickly to get my mom a little apartment there when she was in rehab. It was a smooth transition. They made it happen by coming over to the rehab facility to get my mom all signed up to go to the American House. She was in a studio plus. The food was so much better than the other rehab place. My mom barely ate at the rehab, but she was pretty into it at American House. I think the lighting was a little dark in the hallways. I know they're kind of working to get that lighting updated. It wasn't a real joyful walk from the dining room to her room. Other than that, it's a nice facility, and it's smaller, so they get a lot more personal attention. Upkeep and maintenance were good."

"I like Rivertown Ridge. It's newer. It's four years old. The people are very friendly. We went through independent living to their memory care. They were very helpful. People were coming up and introducing themselves. They have a large area for walking, a tennis court, and a lovely outdoor pool. It's just a nice feeling. In terms of cleanliness, it's very clean and very well taken care of."

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

"The room was a great size for 1 person. She was able to have a couch, bed, recliner and little dinner table with 2 chairs. She has a beautiful view of the courtyard and enjoys being pushed by her family around the lovely grounds. The staff are super sweet and take really great care of my mom."

"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 went to Golden Orchards. It is a beautiful place, and I know several people there. It was very clean. It always looked nice when I visited other people. I've never heard anyone complain about the food. They were very nice and didn't look dated. The thing that my cousin didn't care for was that they didn't have a shower in the room. They have a bathroom with a sink and toilet, but you have to take a shower in the community room. I've seen people working on puzzles together and playing cards. They have a bus that takes people around to different restaurants. It seems like they take good care of them and keep them busy."

"My Dad has had a difficult time getting old and not being as independent as he is used to being. The supervising staff have always looked out for dad and tried to help him enjoy his new home. Since I live thousands of miles away I've been very thankful for them. During my visits the residents and staff have been kind."

"My cousin will move into Appledorn Assisted Living Center South. When we toured, she was just very happy with the looks of the place and what they had to offer. They told her they had a bridge club, which was very important to her. She likes to play bridge. Some of the other things they pointed out to her sounded very good for her. The apartment was very nice. She liked everything about it, the large window, and she chose to look at the parking lot areas, watching people come and go, rather than looking out at nature. They had a choice of her view. They offered snacks in the evening. They showed her where they have a refrigerator, make-up sandwiches, or other little things she's used to doing at home. She can have a small fridge and microwave in a room for that purpose, also if she likes certain other things. We saw their menu, and everything looked very good. We enjoyed everyone we met. They were very cordial and helpful."

"I looked at the assisted living in Appledorn Assisted Living Center North. I like that they really make an effort to get everyone involved in their daily activities. I like that you don't have to buy into the place. It's just per month, and I like that there are many variable levels of care. You don't get one level of care for one fee. You only pay for what you need, so you pay for level 2 or you pay for level 15. They also have a small living room and a dining room."

"Bluff Lake Specialized Care is a house and it's very clean, very open, and there's no odor. They only take six residents, and they take Medicaid waivers. We talked with the owner and two of the staff members. We saw them working with one of the residents and they were talking to them beautifully. It had a very comfortable warm feeling. They take them twice a week to the Senior Center for activities. We saw a couple of private, single rooms."

"My parents moved to the Royal Atrium Inn. They were all very friendly, it was very clean, and it didn't smell. They all have a chef, and they have all different foods, and all these fancy meals. My mom and dad love it. Sarah and Sue are helpful and friendly. Their unit is a room, but it has a bay window and a large bathroom. My mom uses a walker, so she can get into the bathroom. It's spacious enough, and so is the room. They've done bingo, exercise class, and some arts and crafts. The value of the money was another thing that was appealing because it is such a nice place, and it was one of the cheaper ones than the other places I had just called, so more for your money."

"My parents moved to Laurel Oaks of South Haven and they're doing well there. It is new, so the amenities on the site are new. It's only about two years old. They have an administrative nurse who is there at least five days a week, if not more. The staff is friendly. They have both assisted living and memory care. They have field trips, as well as activities onsite. They also have a salon onsite for them to have their hair done, and three meals a day. It's also in close proximity to one of their children, so that works out really well. They started out in assisted living, but it became obvious they needed more, so they're now in memory care. What needs to be improved is some of the communication back and forth with the administrative staff when you want an answer or you call. I realize they're busy. They have a lot of patients. One of the things that we had to work with the staff on was we didn't want phone calls for every little thing, like if there was a stomachache. They're elderly and they tend to have a lot of hallucinations. It's probably one of the more expensive ones, but we have two parents in memory care, so that adds to the cost considerably, and we know that."
