Assisted Living Communities in Dowagiac, MI

"We moved my father in from a sister facility, after my mother passed. I was lucky that there was a studio apartment available right away. The staff has been great in caring for my father (who is not the easiest person). I am updated on important issues, that i asked for when we moved him in. Maple Lake is a smaller facility, so the care is very one on one. Which is great not only for a resident, but also family members. Dad has said the food at Maple Lake is better than the previous facility, so that is a good thing. I highly recommend Maple Lake to anyone who is looking for quality care for a loved one."

"I visited Brookdale Granger. The nutrition department director was very friendly, very nice, and very knowledgeable. She did offer us a dessert that they were giving the residents while they were there. It felt like home. You could tell that everyone was knowledgeable about each other. Even as I walked in, they were asking if there was anything they could do to help. It was a great environment."

"It is hard finding a good fit for your loved one in this fragile time. You do not know who to trust or to depend on for help. From my experience StoryPoint in Granger has went beyond our expectations. They know how hard this time is for you and your loved one. They cater to your loved ones needs and make sure they are well taken care of. My family is so grateful for the staff and management there. We can worry less and know our loved one is in good hands."

"We toured The Whitcomb Senior Living Tower. It's a fabulous place. It would be a great place to live. The staff was excellent. They showed us the available rooms, and we toured the whole building. They have a fabulous dining room, and they have a chef who makes their meals. It overlooks Lake Michigan. You could not ask for any better views. It's a great place."

"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."

"We visited Brentwood at Elkhart Assisted Living. They were thorough, friendly, and detailed, so I guess that's just about what you need to look for to start with. They showed us the facility, and they showed us the rooms. They showed all the features and the activities that they had. The individuals were very friendly and very professional. That's impressive when you see that. They were pretty straightforward and concise with what they were saying, so I think that was a very strong point. The director who showed us the units there said that we aren't ready for assisted living. We are not actually, but we're trying to look ahead to the future. The assisted living facility seemed more like a nursing home facility. It was not something that we would fit into. We're more active and social than Brentwood has to offer. The ones who gave us the tour were very professional. They covered everything and wanted to make sure that they met our needs. They were just very easy to talk to, and made you feel welcome. They weren't just trying to sell you something; they wanted to make sure it was going to be a good fit for the person."

"It was very clean. A lot of people had their doors open, and everything was clean and smelled nicely. The people were incredibly nice. It was a quiet neighborhood. I liked the whole setup of it. They don't have a nursing home, but they will keep you until the end. The staff has been in constant contact with my relative and with me too. I liked it so well and it was convenient, so I didn't go any place else."

"Harmony At Elkhart is a very nice place. The director was nice, too. They were very caring and concerned and stuff like that. They showed me around. They gave me a chance to ask questions. They told me about the facility itself and what was offered."

"I have been to Brookdale Portage twice to look at the place and I'm actually going back there with my son. It was a very nice place. I liked that they had larger bedrooms. The facility looked lovely. It was very nice, clean, and very neat. The staff has been there for many years. I was able to talk to some of them, who have been there for 17 and 19 years, and that tells a lot. The food was delicious. The chef sat at the table with us, gave us a beautiful salad with vegetables and fruits, and everything was cut and displayed beautifully."

"I visited Bickford of Portage. What I like most about Bickford of Portage is the location, and they followed up. They have pretty much the same room as the other place. You have to bring your own furniture such as your bed. They also have indoor spaces, a beauty shop, and transportation."

"My mom has been a resident of StoryPoint Portage for 10 months now. It's a very pleasant environment. The staff is outstanding. They're just very friendly, caring caregivers. They go above and beyond. She has just an efficiency. The food is very good. My mom doesn't participate in any activities, but we use the beauty salon services. They have an excellent beautician. There is a very nice courtyard. It's enhanced living. The executive director there knows that we're real pleased with the facility. It's very positive and very pleasant. I just think in general, assisted living and caregiving is just way too expensive."

"It is new. It has nice wide halls and lots of light. It's just more open and it feels less institutional. I saw activities going on. I saw some singing going on and some cardio drumming at one point while I was there. It looks very clean."

"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. "
