Assisted Living Communities in Fenton, MI

"Tranquility Estates is fabulous. That's the one we have chosen. I like the ambiance, the cleanliness, the room size, the positive attitude, and the food. It is all inclusive. They provide three meals a day. They have balconies and a courtyard, too."

"We toured American House Grand Blanc. What I liked most was the very welcoming people. The leasing agent was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We had lunch there, and the kitchen staff came out and talked to us about substitutions as well as the menus. We also had someone on the cleaning staff who just came up to us and talked about what they offer: daily trash if you want it, weekly cleaning, and laundry facilities that are available. The facility was very clean. American House had the nicest apartment kitchen we saw at any place. American House, being a little bit older, had the nicest kitchen. So, rather than just a kitchenette, they had a little kitchen nook, and more flexibility in terms of a larger refrigerator and stuff. Although my sister won't use it, it was more of a kitchen than a kitchenette. From that standpoint, the American House had the nicest layout. I was happy with the American House."

"My dad moved to Village Manor Retirement. The atmosphere is vibrant. It seemed like there was a lot of activity. The rooms were clean. There's a lot of light and everyone was very, very nice. They had a really good follow up. After I inquired, they got back to me fairly quickly and were very responsive. The administration staff is wonderful. My dad says the food is good. They have a lot of different things going on for everybody and anybody to pick and choose from. They are very active there. Knowing what the competitors charge, it's a good value."

"My mom is in Springvale Assisted Living & Memory Care. The staff is great with keeping the residents active and involved throughout the day. The communication between myself and staff has been superb. They have different floor plans, but she is in an open floor plan studio. They have a very active, super full activities calendar and that is shared very openly with family members. That way, we can take part in things. Their meals are fantastic. The outings are wonderful that they take residents on. As far as her care needs, we've had to adjust her level of care, and so they've accommodated things quite well. I appreciate that it's a secure building even in the assisted living. and their outdoor courtyard area is phenomenal. My mom and I go out there just about every day. That's a secured area too for residents that can walk. I love that they have different areas within the building for families to go and be with the resident. In addition to the dining room, there's a beautiful living area and there are two separate areas that are a little smaller that families can use. There are lots of opportunity to kind of spread out for visits. The administrative staff does a great job with communicating with families. They do great with their staff as far as education and support. I've always felt like all of the care staff are equally trained and they're consistent across the board for what they're doing for my mom. So that helps ease my mind quite a bit."

"My Mother was diagnosed with Lew Bodies Dementia. One of the more challenging Dementias to manage. The staff were OUTSTANDING with my Mother's ever changing needs. While visiting with my Mother on many occasions I was able to witness first hand the attention not only to my Mother but others who Lived in Courtyard Manor Swartz Creek with her. The staff GENUINELY CARE for those they assist. When I looked for an Assisted Living/Memory Care for my Mother the most important thing to me was not how fancy or expensive the building was or was not but rather how will the staff take care of my Mom. I felt Very much at Peace with my Mother at Courtyard Manor Swartz Creek. It's not the building or the business it's the GIVERS OF CARE. THANK YOU, COURTYARD MANOR SWARTZ CREEK STAFF FOR GIVING MY MOTHER A LOVING HOME. THAT IS WORTH ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD TO ME. "

"We toured American House Milford. It was very informative. The staff took us straight to the room we wanted to look at. He answered all our questions. It was lovely, and we thought it was a perfect fit for my brother, but he didn't like the price. The other thing is that he seems to have more trouble with memory, so we're not sure how all this is going to advance. So to move him somewhere, and then have to move him again is not an option. They showed us the laundry room. It was very nice and clean."

"My mother-in-law is a resident of The Pines of Goodrich. It is great; it is very nice. The staff members are wonderful. They provide around-the-clock care. My mother-in-law's room is spacious, beautiful, and very clean. Their dining area is very nice, clean, and accommodating. Their dining area is wonderful and more like a restaurant. It is a real gathering place. The food is good too. We never have to worry about my mother-in-law there. They're all wonderful, they know her, and they know us. It has been a real relief. The activities are very nice. It is pretty pricey, but it is worth it."

"It was really nice, and the staff was nice. It was open, bright, and didn't have a smell. It felt like you were more in a really nice apartment complex than a nursing facility. There was a book club, crafting classes, game day, and movie nights. They had a lot of stuff to do and nice variety too."

"My mother is in an assisted living building at Addington Place of Clarkston. I had made several calls to other places and Addington Place called me back and they were close also. The layout is inviting. My mom's room is close to the dining area, so it's convenient to visit her. There's a courtyard there. It's very well done. They're redoing it now, but even before they started to redo it, it was very beautifully done. They had a very welcoming lobby. The staff is friendly. They seem to know mom well, which tells me they've spent a significant amount of time with her. They bother to get to know the little things about her, what she likes, what she doesn't like, what time she likes to have ice cream in the evening, little things like that. There's a lot of staff, you have the care level, you have the director, and you have an activities person. Most of them are very professional. There are a few new people. I would say 90% of them are just top-notch staff. In every facility, you're going to find a staff member that's a little off or they're just maybe a little too busy, but that's not the case there. The majority of their staff are topnotch, and almost treat my mom like they're her own mother or grandmother. Compared to other areas, they're probably one of the best. I've tasted the food a couple of times and it's good. They have a great activities coordinator and she's got all kinds of things going on there. They have people come in that play instruments and they have a 50s day and there's just a lot of different things. They had dancers come in that were from New York and do a little performance for us. It was neat. I happened to be there that day when they came. It was expensive, but I was surprised that it was as reasonable as it was, given the quality of this place. It's kind of like a hidden gem."

"My sister has moved into Vibrant Life, The Lodge of Durand. It was by far the best, as far as staff, pricing, and what they had to offer. The other ones were much higher in price, didn't seem to have the room size, and weren't as up-to-date as Vibrant was. I have no complaints with the staff or the food. The food is fine. The activities appear to have helped her; they're excellent."

"We saw Vista Springs Trillium Village Estate. It's like five minutes from my house. It was very clean. It looks brand new. I like that they have five people to one aide, rather than half a dozen or more for one person. It's not like a hospital. They seemed friendly, and I saw that they were taking care of the people who were there. I didn't look at the premium rooms. I looked the next one up, and they seemed a good size."

"My grandmother is at The Pines of Burton. I like it. They followed Covid-19 safety precautions. They had very nice and very respectful staff. They were a bit pricy, but they provided quality care to their residents. They were very respectful of maintaining safety for their residents as well. As far as folks who may have wanted to attempt to visit, someone they considered a loved one, but that loved one did not consider them; i.e., ex-husbands and things like that. They were very good at taking those kinds of precautions as well. Due to Covid-19, I wasn't able to sit and dine with my loved one because visitors were only allowed to come in within the standard restricted areas, and dining was a public space. It was a little pricy, but not as pricy as other facilities."

"We toured Canterbury on the Lake. It was very nice. The person that gave the tour was very helpful and very knowledgeable about the facility. We got to walk through from the front door all the way through the dining room and the common areas. We got to see a couple of different apartments with different floor plans. So that was nice to be able to do that. We got a sample of their menu, activity, and calendars, and then we got a packet of floor plans and applications. We got to sit down and have our questions answered. The building itself is beautiful. They're small apartments basically, but they have all the necessities. They have a kitchenette and they have their closet space. It looked clean."
