Assisted Living Communities in Edmore, MI

"Golden Life Adult Foster Care has been great. The staff is very helpful and very knowledgeable. I have no complaints. My husband's room is too small for two people, but he's alone now; it's not so bad, and it's very clean. The meals are fresh, not frozen, and they're very good at cooking a decent, healthy meal three times a day. The dining area is like a family table where they all sit around, and they serve the food on their plates. They go for walks, they have outings, and they play games. The dirt driveway is just so bad, but it's a very happy atmosphere."

"My stepfather is in Royal View Retirement Community. The place is excellent, I have nothing but good stuff to say about them. The staff is wonderful, they've been very helpful and caring. The only issue I have is that they were very expensive, but they're cheaper than a lot of the other places. It's almost $5,000 a month. The staff is just very compassionate and very knowledgeable. From what my stepfather says, the food is good. They have several activities but he hasn't been part of them. They could have a little bit more outings. They're much better value than some of the other places I looked into as far as what you get for your money. They have a barbershop and an in-house doctor that comes in, which is very convenient."

"My sister moved into Country Friends. She enjoys it, and she's happy there. There are only, I think, 20 residents, but they do have activities. And she likes her food, so that's good. We chose Country Friends because everyone who worked there seemed happy. Her room is small, but it's private."

"I was looking for my sister and the residence seems to be very friendly, clean and equipped to handle the needs of the residents. Very homey setting. "

"We have already placed my mom in an ALF called Our Place Cares. It was our choice primarily because of the location. Also it was recommended to us by the people in the hospital. The place is always clean. All the residents there have dementia-related issues and it is a good fit for my mother. The staff is good. They're friendly and they work very hard there. I thought the residents are well cared for. They try to do things with them but most of the patients are fairly far along in their dementia, so I don't know if they could participate all that much in anything. My mom for one doesn't participate. I think the best thing about this facility is the staff and the neatness of the place. They even have visiting doctors that would make house calls. I would recommend this place. "

"Green Acres of Greenville was very clean and very interesting from the way it was set up. It had an outdoor environment inside. So, it was very pleasant. Might have been a little bit too much for my brother to understand though. The cleanliness was good. We saw the eating areas and their meeting areas and everything was great. The staff was pretty knowledgeable, too."

"New Hope is a small community that houses about 20 elderly people. It is a privately owned center. There is always at least one staff member on duty. The owner is very active in the daily routine and maintenance of the home. The home is very well kept and brightly decorated. The staff explained to me that they tried to do a craft or visit the community center at least once a week with a group of clients. Each client has their own room with a bathroom and special bed that can be raised or lowered. I remember a client who was not very coherent and couldn't stand on her own. The staff helped her to the bathroom, helped her take a shower, and did many other things for her. The staff were very friendly to this client and treated her with a great amount of respect. Routine is very important to this center. All meals are served in the common dining area. If a client skips a meal, they are not allowed to have any snacks until the next meal is served. I thought that was a little harsh and demeaning. I could also tell that some of the clients were very bored. I sat with one client at a table and we talked about her family and children. Then we literally stared at the wall (it was painted into a raised texture) and looked for patterns or objects. Kind of like how you stare at clouds and look for things in them. Overall, the home seemed like a very pleasant place to live. "

"We were very happy with our tour at Green Acres of Mt Pleasant. It was beautiful. It was a little bit cheaper than the other place we saw, but I think they provided the same level of care. We didn't see as many people out and about, probably because of the time of day we were there. The staff was very caring, very informative, and welcoming. They had a big room that you could actually rent out and have a party if you wanted to. They had movies, exercise routines, and card games."

"Masonic Pathways was first-rate. My father really liked it there. I also liked the work they did with him. He was in an environment with people rehabbing him so he could go back into his own house. The atmosphere was very pleasant for him, too. It was probably the nicest place I've ever seen. I didn't hear him complain about the food. He was really pleased that the insurance covered their services. Our experience was just very satisfactory. The only thing I didn't like was that he could not get a good Internet connection. He's hearing impaired and needed the Internet for his special phone. However, everything was excellent, and it was homey. "

"The facility has just gone through a beautiful renovation. It is lovely and so comfortable for the residents, The rooms are so comfortable having their own bathrooms and little kitchen areas. I did not eat there, but the food always smelled delicious and I know they gave the residents what they wanted and special treats. The staff were all so wonderful and caring to my sister-in-law while she was there. She was not always easy to care for, but they stayed on top of her needs. The had fun and creative activities for the residence, from music, doing their nails, tea parties, happy hour, and special crafts for holidays. There are outdoor places to sit and the staff often will have special activities or treats outdoors. Mt. Pleasant is a nice town with many restaurants and activities with the college right there."

"McKellar Adult Foster Care is clean. They're very caring, and they have all home-cooked meals. They have rocking chairs on the covered porch, so you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. They have individual rooms with individual bathrooms. They have a room where everybody can congregate to watch TV or play games. They do games weekly. It's been so far a great experience. The staff is very caring. The room is large and holds all the stuff my mom needs, her bed, two chairs, a dresser, and her TV, and the bathroom is sufficient. The people that work there are very caring and very giving. They help her only with showers and sometimes with getting dressed. They do bingo, Euchre, and movie nights where they do movies and popcorn. It's a good value for money."

"Over all care was very good and nursing staff was very good. However, the social worker was given my new home telephone number and never passed it on to the nursing staff. Eventhough they had my work number and my cell phone number, I was the last family member to know my husband had passed away. Mistakes happen but this was very hurtful to me and his two youngest children as we were the ones who cared for him until he had to go into Schnepps for 24 hour care. "

"I have chosen Rosewood I for my parents. They accept Medicaid waivers, while the others do not. They are Johnny-on-the-spot, and they are taking good care of my parents. If they are happy, I'm happy. My mom has dementia and they took her. They also have one guy that is over 100 years old. Everybody is very nice. My parents like the food, too. It is a big white building with big pillars at the front. It looks like the White House in Washington, DC, and that's what hooked my parents on it. They love it. Regarding activities, they're not into that stuff. They just want to do their own thing. They have activities, though."

"We have had our in-laws at Fields for the last 1.5 years. The cleanliness, atmosphere, and staff are absolutely amazing."
