The Best Assisted Living Communities in Genesee County, MI

"We visited Courtyard Manor of Fenton. We were able to walk around the exterior. It looked like a lovely place. There are nice exterior areas that people can make use of. It was a very positive experience. We were able to be on the outside, but it looked well cared for. The staff seemed great, the one we met with anyway. We were able to see inside the window a little more and the room looked very spacious and comfortable."

"The one that I liked the best was Charter Senior Living of Davison, but they didn't have any room available. They had a physical therapy department right there on site, so they could get physical therapy every day if they needed it. They had individualized meals. Your pets were allowed. They had individual heating. The staff was very welcoming, but the ratio from caregiver to patient was too high - 1 to 10. The food that I had there had taste, and it was easy to eat. They would bend over backward to get you whatever you needed. They had a gym onsite, a chef on site that you can have several choices as to what you want to eat, and they had a beautician and a podiatrist that came on site."

"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."

"We've toured Symphony Linden and it was nice. The staff was very helpful and the food was wonderful. They had a gym, a lounge, and a room where you could go and watch movies. It was nice. The place itself was clean, there wasn't anything that was not nice about it."

"I love StoryPoint Fenton, but it's too expensive for my brother-in-law. It's beautiful. The whole facility is top-notch. It is very open and welcoming. There is a huge gathering area. The receptionist is right there to greet you. They had the director right away, and they took me to a model room that was set up. It was a one-bedroom and it had a refrigerator. It was very, very nice. However, that was an assisted living senior community, and that was not what I was looking for. I was looking for memory care-assisted living. They would do an assessment of my brother-in-law before he was allowed to live there. He probably could fit into the assisted part of it, but that part was too big for him. It's all one level, which is good, but I think that with him getting himself from his room to where they have to go and eat would have been difficult, because the layout wasn't good for him in the memory state that he is in right now. I also went to memory care. It was beautiful. We walked through it. It was very nice. They have a nice little area where you could go in and sit by a fireplace and watch movies. The kitchen was right there. They only have 16 residents, which is nice. They were finishing up lunch when I got there. They have several little areas where you could sit down and have a conversation or play a game. The windows were on each side of a nice wide hallway. They showed me a room that my brother-in-law would have. It was a studio. Somebody had just moved out of there, and they were in the process of painting it and getting it freshened up for the next person to come in. It had a nice view out the window where you could put a bird feeder or whatever. All of his furniture could go in the room, too. Then the staff showed me where the patio was, and it was very nice. They have a grill out there where they would grill food for the people. It is also backed up to a wooded little area where you could see nature and sit out there. It was very welcoming and very comfortable. I told her that I would move in there myself right now, so that part of it was very, very nice. The residents that were there were more in line with what level my brother-in-law was at physically. He's very mobile, and he has no medical issues with his heart, legs, or lungs -- nothing. It is just his mind right now is having a problem. If money were not an object, I would have him go to StoryPoint just because of the aesthetics of everything."

"Vicinia Gardens of Fenton was a very nice community. The people that were there were also very nice. The facility was clean, spacious, and pretty nice. Their amenities were comparable to bigger places that we've seen, they have a community-type room for the residents, and they have a comfy and nice dining area. The rooms that they had left were private and nice. It would have worked for us but it was so far away."

"Everything was very nice over at Living Waters Buell Lake. The person in charge was very good. The place was clean. I remember they had a nice community room and they had an event going on that day. The kitchen looked very good. They did have a patio that looked out over a lake. The staff who gave me the tour was very family-oriented. The dining room looked like it was very well organized. It was a very clean- looking place and well-lit. It was a very simple place. It had 2 hallways and 19 rooms."

"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."

"The 1 bedroom apartments are very spacious and the studio apartments are the perfect size for somebody who doesn’t need the separate bedroom, Housekeeping keeps the rooms spotless, The food is excellent. The chef goes above and beyond to make delicious meals for residents. Menus always have a variety of choices, The staff is top notch. I can’t say enough in the way they care for residents. You can tell they love what they do. They will take the time to answer any questions families may have. So happy my dad is a part of this community! I would give Devonshire more than 5 stars if that were an option."

"Shadowtree Lodge was very good. We were accepted there but they had to decline because they didn't have the 24-hour care that my dad needed. The staff was very friendly. I wish we could have gotten him in that place. It was nice. They had a bunch of board games and stuff. I saw the kitchen and the laundry room. It was just like a regular house. They had a big kitchen table where all the residents had dinner there. It was really nice and really clean. It looked like a lodge in the middle of the woods. It's beautiful."

"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."
