Assisted Living Communities in Edmore, MI

"My husband is in Twin Oaks. It’s a nice, small place with 15 or 20 people at the most. They have a big table where they are served their meals. "

"My dad moved to Rest Assured Assisted Living. It's only 11 minutes from my home and the facility is like a home. Like a regular residence of the person would be in. The staff is caring. The rooms are nice and it doesn't have like some of these places you walk into, and the first thing that you smell is urine. This place is clean. They're always keeping everything clean and updated. They have a church group that comes in and does craft activities. They try to play bingo once a month. They have a neighbor that comes in that's a church group, and they play music. In nice weather, they have an outdoor seating area and they have a bonfire. They have raised garden beds where residents can plant their gardens. They have exercise programs that residents can join in on exercises for their age group. They are all very caring. They listen well when you're explaining things about your parents or the person on what is going on. They take notes. They show you the facility where the medication is capped and how it's all locked up and only certain people have the key and they're scheduling for certain items."

"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 father-in-law is in Royal View. It's been absolutely wonderful. The people are friendly and they are always checking up on him. He's made friends and they have fun community activities. He's getting really good care. It's a beautiful facility and it's convenient. They have exercise classes every day, bible study, and bingo, and they recently had a big picnic with all these antique cars and he absolutely loved that. They do field trips like to the local ice cream place, which he really enjoyed. There's a men's breakfast where the guys get together. The meals are wonderful, but they have to get themselves to the meals. They always try to sit him with the guys because there aren't as many. It's a very friendly atmosphere and it's homey. It's immaculate. This place is just the most beautiful place ever."

"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. "

"I went to Green Acres of Greenville. The staff was very friendly. Their food seems to be more than adequate. It's very healthy and well-balanced. I've eaten there. It's very good. They have games, puzzles, and live music. They have different gatherings for different arts and crafts, which you don't have to take part in if you don't want to. They have exercise groups. And that's just what I'm aware of. I'm not there every day. But I know they usually have a lot going on all the time for everyone. The apartment is beautiful. It's huge. It's bigger than my friend's house was. He has a nice-sized bedroom and a good-sized living space with enough room for a small table and a small kitchenette. I was just thinking that if there was a place I had to go, that would be the place that I would choose to go."

"I have been to New Hope Assisted Living LLC. You have to be ambulatory to go. It’s very nice, but people who are not ambulatory or can’t walk, or use a cane or a walker, they can’t live there because of the small staff. It’s very nice though. They only have like 12 to 18 people or something like that. It’s very nice. It is out in the country, and a lot of the people have their little birdfeeders so they can watch the birds, flowers, and trees. It’s very nice for an elderly people who like the country or has always lived in the country. I like it, but it wasn’t what I was looking for. "

"I visited my sister at Green Acres Mt. Pleasant and shared lunch with the people there and it was lovely. They were very welcoming with a very comfortable feeling. They gave lots of support. I had stew for lunch with a biscuit, a good salad, a lemonade, and chocolate cake. We asked a couple of people about maintenance and they said "Oh, you'll love him. He takes great care of everybody." At Green Acres Mt. Pleasant, you pay the price and that includes all the assistance. They have a patio and they were putting furniture out today. It was almost 70 degrees and sunny and warm. It was just wonderful. One of the biggest reasons why we chose them, was when you walk in, it looks homey. You walk down the hall and they have fake tall trees and ivy and stuff to make it look like you're walking down a boulevard."

"We went to Michigan Masonic Home for my husband's parents. We looked there about a year ago, and it was absolutely beautiful. We looked at the assisted living part, and everything was first rate and very nice. They had beautiful facilities and great staff. We just visited for the day, walked around, and saw all the different examples of apartments that they had. Then we ate a meal there. Because of the pandemic, his mother was never able to go there because they were not accepting new residents. And by the time she could go there, she couldn't. And then she passed away. The food we had was very good that day. The staff were very helpful and very knowledgeable. I thought the rooms were professionally laid out. They had apartments and then they had rooms, and they were very well done. They had a beautiful chapel, different restaurants, and three different dining rooms. They have lots of activities for the residents, and I was overwhelmed by all of the nice grounds, activities, and all the things they had. They have a library and an in-house health clinic, and they bring doctors into the clinic, which was very nice. They have specialists there, so that was good. Everything about it was very well done. I just can't say enough good about it. The lady who took us all over knew all about the rates for each room and layout. She was very knowledgeable. If you're affiliated with the Masons, they have a better rate for you, of course, because it's through Masonic Pathways and the Masons. It was very, very clean. They have three or four floors. They have a skilled nursing unit, too, but we didn't see that because at the time my in-laws felt that they didn't need that. They just wanted to be in the assisted living part. They have all levels of care. They have independent, assisted and then total care. They even have their little version of a fast-food place, and that's where we ate. It was really good."

"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. "
