Assisted Living Communities in Grandville, MI

"I went to Byron Center Manor. It was very clean and neat, and very comfortable looking. The patrons seemed to be very friendly. I saw a one-bedroom, studio type thing. The staff was very nice. I just went in, viewed the kitchen area, I didn't get a chance to get friendly with anybody, I just went through the hall, down to the bedroom, and back out. It was all they would allow. There wasn't much of a yard. The apartment had a sink and microwave, and could fit a full-size bed, couch, chair, and a small table."

"My mom moved to Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids. I like that it wasn't too large for her. There are a lot of beautiful facilities in the Grand Rapids area, but this would seem to suit her personality more. It has beautiful views of a pond and some woods, and my mom seems to like the food. On certain days of the week or months, they will have different musicians come in and play. They do crafts and bingo. They do a "Travel Around the World Series" where they bring exotic places to them, so that's fun. They do a lot of different things. They also have a hydroponic garden that grows green leafy vegetables, which they watch grow and then consume."

"They are excellent. I don't have any complaints whatsoever. My mother is living there. The rooms are spacious and well lit with natural sunlight. Food, according to Mother, is excellent, and the dining room is very attractive. There are options for activities. "

"Mom is at Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris. She is in the memory care and our experience has been pretty good so far. She's new there so we're still kind of trying to see how things go, but the management was really kind and good about getting her in there. Occasionally they are not real quick to answer the phone, but I understand that they get busy trying to take care of people. The facility is clean and in good condition. It's all relatively new. They've just refurbished it, so it's nice. The color scheme is bright and updated, and not more dark and gloomy. This place is much brighter and feels more upbeat than the other places. Mom seems to be OK with the food. It's nice because they don't overstate what they have. They don't make it complicated. Some places write things down for the residents and they don't understand what they are because they put soup du jour instead of soup of the day, but there, they're just straightforward about telling you what they're having. Mom has gone out and watched some movies a couple of times, and they have some other activities and stuff, but I think there are some people who would probably like to do some things that are a little more active, more than just sit down exercises. Most of the staff that I've interacted with have been very kind and helpful for the most part. We've had a couple little hiccups with the things that were miscommunicated from where she was before to where she is now, but they've been trying really hard to get everything situated and make things work, and they seem to be kind and engaging with the residents. For the most part, they're doing pretty good."

"StoryPoint Forest Hills was really nice. The villas were not attached. It was just within the parking lot. The staff said if they come over for a meal, they would hop in their car because of the weather and stuff like that, especially during the wintertime. We had a really nice tour. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. The only thing that would lower my score is the distance from us, but that's not because of them. Also, the cost is a little higher than what my parents can afford. They had a hair salon right there. Those are some things that my parents would eventually come to use, but probably not right away. The villas were off-site, but not very far, just across the parking lot. They were absolutely beautiful. They have a two-bedroom-two-bathroom and a walk-in closet attached to the main bathroom, and a laundry area. So, that was really nice. Their dining area was nice. I wouldn't say it was formal, but it was kind of a community feeling, and good for socialization."

"Our mother has been a resident in the Assisted Living building for approximately six months. The staff has been absolutely wonderful making her feel welcome and involving her in activities. Her room meets her needs very well and always looks tidy. The meals always seem very good. We are very happy that we selected Cascade Trails for her."

"My sister didn't like the room at The Cortland of Northview. Everybody was nice. It's a nice place. The staff member who gave the tour was very friendly and very knowledgeable. It's an older establishment, but the upkeep was good. They had puzzles, TV, and craft things. The staff was very nice. The other staff just got sick, so she kind of got thrown in, but I think she did well under the circumstances."

"Visit friend weekly/find unit and room clean/food includes variety..staff caters to preferences within limits-acceptable/laundry done on schedule-items returned/observe more staff supervision needed on weekends..resident pleased with placement/feels safe and getting help needed-recommend"

"My Mom went there this past spring for respite care so I could go on Spring Break with my husband. At the end of the two weeks, she did not want to leave! She loved it and she is happy and socializing! The interactions with others has changed her immensely; her Alzheimer's disease has not advanced. In fact, in my non-medical opinion, being a part of this caring community has reversed some of her symptoms!! Riley's Grove has changed our lives!"

"Boulder Creek was such a blessing for us. Our family had toured other properties for our mom and Boulder Creek was our top choice - and was so glad when our mom chose it as well! It is a tough decision of course to go into assisted living, but we all knew we had definitely made the right choice for her at BC! Words cannot express enough our gratitude to Josh and his entire staff for all that they did for her… all the way from our pre-visits, to getting her moved in and throughout her stay there. Everyone was so kind and it was such a blessing for us to know that she was well cared for by the aides, etc. People were so friendly, the facility and her apartment were very nice - and she loved the food there as well! Cannot recommend this facility enough!!"

"Staff go out of their way to help my parents and i finding very reassuring especially when I live out of state. Top notch!"

"I went to American House Holland and looked at their memory care. The place was nice and clean. I actually got to see somebody who was recently admitted and how they were fitting in. I got to see the rooms, and they were nicely organized and clean. I had concerns about my father, and sometimes his language and his behaviors, and they were ready to accommodate. They're used to it, so it was an overall real good experience. I like that their pricing never changes, so that was probably my biggest selling point. You could go in and you still have the same ratio of staff to residents and there's no change or charge for the changes as they progress. The rooms were nice, and I liked the way that they were arranged. Being memory care, there's no place where the person could go in, and think they're gonna shower in their own room, and they're actually going to be safely bathed. I like the size of their room, because for him he doesn't need a lot of space, and it was nice that they actually had somebody out with the residents trying to get them to interact to keep their mind engaged. I like seeing that person physically out there with the residents trying to engage them and work with them and do the things that sometimes at home, you just don't have time to do. They had amenities there and there was a nice, clean area for the families to come in and safely spend some time with their loved ones. They actually had zero cases of COVID. I asked some of the staff's phone numbers and they were quick to provide them. They had two meals, and they said that they give them two options per meal. In my father's case, less is better to offer, so for me, that worked out great."

"I'm thankful every day that we found an awesome home for my mother. It's the best care anyone could ever hope for. The staff is like family!"

"I toured Woodland Gardens. That one was very nice as well. They have a live-in guy, which is kind of cool. So he's there all the time, and then he has a couple of days off where other people come in. Other than the ones who came in to help out when we were there, he was making cookies and making lunch and doing it all. He lives right there, so there's somebody there at night all the time. They don't have to worry about somebody calling in at night to not show up or somebody having to work a double because somebody doesn't show up or whatever. I guess all their buildings have a live-in person. They have up to six residents. They have single rooms with half baths. They have a tub and shower room that they can shower in, and the bathroom itself has a toilet and a sink. The manager-owner himself came out, and all of those who were working there were very knowledgeable about everything as well. He'd been there for four years, the fellow that lives there. He was doing laundry, and there was a pile of laundry on the couch that had to be folded."
