Assisted Living Communities in Grand Rapids, MI

"We toured here, and it was very good. The staff was very good and very friendly. It was clean, it was a smaller facility, and it wasn't totally modern, but it wasn't bad. We had a meal there, they had quite a few activities, and a lot of variety."

"The Sunrise of Cascade was very nice, but it's a little more expensive than the other ones I saw. I couldn't carefully see the room because they were careful about the COVID stuff. I had a COVID test and I had to wear a plastic mask and a gown. They showed me what a one-bedroom would be like, but the studio would have already been appropriate for her. The person that gave me the tour called back a few times to check with, so I give her a lot of credit for that. They have tea in the afternoon, and when the weather is nicer, they have a nice area where they could go outside. They're in a little more of an industrial type of area."

"My grandfather chose Northview Manor as an assisted living option for my grandmother after she suffered multiple strokes. He spent every waking hour at Northview Harbor, and our family would visit multiple times a week. The facilities and staff were always well kept and accommodating. Meals were always provided for any additional family who were present during meal time, and various programs to keep the residents entertained were classy and professional. As unfortunate as the circumstances were, my grandmother was able to spend her last months in relative comfort. "

"We toured Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids. We didn't have an appointment. We just walked in and asked if we could visit the facility. The sales representative wasn't there, but one of the directors was, and she was happy to answer our questions, and she took us on a tour. She was very nice and very helpful, and we liked the facility. The only thing was, it was a little closer. That was the only thing that we were debating about. We like that it sits back off the road, so it was more wooded. It was where the metro was more urban, and so we liked the more country feel. It wasn't as opulent as the other facility, but it was very nice. They have a little courtyard that looked out over a pond, a nice little place where the residents could walk and sit outside and enjoy the weather."

"We toured Commonwealth Senior Living at North Byron. We loved it. If it had been more affordable, that's where my dad would be. Kristen, the gal that we worked with at that facility, I fell in love with her. She was fabulous. I can't say enough good things about her. She did what she could to help us, but my dad's budget is what it is, and unfortunately, we couldn't finagle it to make that work. We had some cookies that they baked. They're delicious. The rooms were really nice. They were nicely appointed, and the little kitchenette. The building was beautiful."

"My mom has been a resident for 3 1/2 years. 3 1/4 years in Assisted Living and 4 months in Memory Care. The building is beautiful inside and out, when you walk in it feels like “home”-not institutional looking. Common areas are furnished and decorated very tastefully. Individual rooms vary in size/price but they are all nicely furnished and you are free to personalize them to make your loved one feel at home. We’ve been blessed with consistent, dedicated care staff, which means they know the residents well. They are quick to notice when something is “off” with a resident. And for the residents to see familiar faces daily helps them emotionally. Staff is friendly and they truly care about the residents. There are plenty of activities available and the director encourages residents to get involved. They offer several events throughout the year for where families can join residents. Memory Care residents can often be found sitting outside on the porch chatting In the summer or doing a puzzle, coloring, etc around the big table. They also have opportunities to go on group outings (field trips) with Suzie, the Activities Director. My mom has been well cared for and happy since day one. The staff has also provides education opportunities, and emotional support for me as my mom transitioned from assisted living to Memory Care. "

"Rivertown Ridge was beautiful, but it wasn't for my aunt. It was too big. We saw several rooms. She was with us and she was just confused. Walking out the door, she said, "Do we go left, do we go right, are we on the third floor, are we on the second floor, how do I get to where I eat?" It didn't work out, but I really liked it. It's very homey. We met the nurse, and we said hi to a couple of people we were introduced to. It was a very nice tour."

"They need they’re own moving hand trucks. Rooms are clean, staff is very friendly and always go above to help. Resident really enjoy exercise class, movie nights. The new chef is always meeting with residents to improve or take requests for new menu items. "

"My parents will be moving into American House Jenison. We put a deposit down and we're on a waitlist. It just felt like there was a lot of stability. The manager that we toured with talked about the chef who has been there for 30 years, and a lot of the staff have been there a long time. There's not as much staff turnover, which to me feels like a sign that the staff are being treated well and paid well, which means that in turn they are going to be happy in their job, and just better able to take care of the residents. The rooms are basic, but warm and nice, and there's adequate natural light. I like the little kitchenettes, and I liked that the independent living area has interior hallways. If my parents were going to go, like in the wintertime to get food, they don't have to go outside and risk tripping or anything like that. We toured around the facility and saw all the different activity rooms and social spaces. They had outdoor walking paths and an exercise room. They also sometimes push tables to the side in the main eating room and have an exercise class in there. We saw the independent living, and then by accident, we saw a little bit of the memory care because we went in the wrong door. The atmosphere just felt calm, but it didn't feel artificially sedated. It was nice. It's down the road from a couple of things. The dining area is big and open and easy to see where everything's laid out. They explained that it's continental breakfast in the morning and then a big midday meal, and that the big midday meal is usually pretty lively. They go on a lot of outings. They go on tours. They have book clubs, they have bible studies, and they have wine tastings and stuff sometimes. It's not the newest, but I actually liked that. I toured a different facility that was newer and I asked if they had something that American House had and they said, "That's a really good idea, we should do that.""

"Byron Center Manor was good. The staff seemed very helpful and friendly. It was an older facility and that showed a little bit. I looked at the dining area, and it was very nice. Security was good. They had a list of activities that available, with something new every day. "

"My aunt is in StoryPoint. It's brand new last year, so it's very nice. The rooms are very nice, and everything is accessible. People are really friendly and encourage her to eat. They're very good with her. It's a very nice place with a lot of activities available."

"American House Holland was beautiful and gorgeous. The rooms were beautiful and seemed to be bigger, and the staff was very nice. The activities looked like they were pretty comprehensive, and they did a good job with it."

"The thing I like the most about Woodland Gardens is the price. It's not real fancy, but that's fine because my husband doesn't need fancy, and we don't need to pay for fancy. I like the owners. He was just a very personable guy, and he understood what we were going through. It's only $4,000 a month, and the price will not ever change as long as my husband is there. They aren't going to raise the rate, and that is a good thing. It's out in the country. My husband can go outside and do things which he loves. We got to actually speak with the owner, and he was really thrilled because my husband loves to shovel snow, and he loves to do things outside. He was just a good guy. It's not really a huge place. I just hope that my husband would be happy there."
