The Best Assisted Living Communities in Gratiot County, MI

"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."

"Merrill Fields Assisted Living was more geared toward people that need a little bit more hands-on help. They help with their medications and getting them in and out of their beds, and they prepare meals for them. The rooms were nice, but not so homey. It's almost like a hospital setting. The facility was clean and well maintained. The staff was great and accommodating. The building was beautiful, very well decorated, and very inviting on the outside."

"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."

"The Roosevelt House was beautiful. It's perfect. The staff was wonderful, upbeat, and very informative. We loved everything about it. It's just we're not gonna be able to afford it. They had private rooms with private baths. They had outdoor activities. I saw a beauty parlor, a chapel, a study where they could go in and do puzzles and quiet things, a TV room, and an aviary. Outside, they had a garden and animals like deer, roosters, and chickens. It's brand new, and it's impeccably clean."

"Clean building, friendly and helpful staff. Will be moving wife in today."

"I have my brother at Applewood Assisted Living. We chose it because they had rooms available when I needed them. It's very clean. He's got a nice room. The staff is nice and friendly. The girls are patient with him. They don't have any activities other than watching TV and putting puzzles together, and he doesn't participate in that. They have a lot of cats, so if you're allergic to cats, it's not the place to go. They have a dining room and a front room with a TV and recliners. It's a nice place. They've worked with me on the money part."

"We were very happy with our tour at Green Acres of Mt Pleasant. It was beautiful. It was a little bit cheaper than the other place we saw, but I think they provided the same level of care. We didn't see as many people out and about, probably because of the time of day we were there. The staff was very caring, very informative, and welcoming. They had a big room that you could actually rent out and have a party if you wanted to. They had movies, exercise routines, and card games."

"Pine Haven Assisted Living went over to the rehab place where my aunt was at and they met her the night before she moved in there. They helped us get her in and out of the car when we got there. They They were very friendly with her. They got her to do some other stuff that the rehab place was not doing with her. So we didn't think she could do it on her own and she was actually doing a lot more than what she thought she could do once with their help. It is a small home with 15 people in it. They have a couple of days where they do crafts, they have a beautician that comes in once a week, and all their meals are homemade, nothing frozen. There's two to three people on staff during the day and they check in on them every two hours. They've got monitors all through the house so they can hear what's going on at the other end. They can also come and go with their family if they want to. They have a small spot that heads out to the big porch that they can go out on. It has a dining table down there so you can just sit, or if the family comes in, they could eat down there with you. They have a big bookcase full of books, sort of like a little library area, as well as wild animals outside, such as alpacas and chickens that people can watch and see out their windows."

"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. "

"Margaret's Meadows is a wonderful facility. The atmosphere is comfortable and homey. Staff are very pleasant and attentive. My mother was there for a couple of years and she was very well taken care of, at all times. I highly recommend this country home. "

"The staff is very kind but the entire nursing home feels too much like a hospital. All the beds look like hospital beds there isn't really a lot of ways to customize the patients rooms and the recreational areas are very sterile looking. I wish they would add a homey feel to the place because most of the people there will never get to go home again. The assisted living facility that my sister works at, however, has nice apartments for each person to live in and a recreational area that doesn't look like a hospital. The place reminds me more of college dorm rooms then an assisted living space. "

"I have worked with Kelly from the St. Charles location for several months now. I’m so excited that they have opened up another location in Chesaning. They truly care about people. I highly recommend this place. They are a family run business and you can tell that they have care in their hearts."

"Good Vibes Adult Foster Care is very nice. They have lots of windows, so there's good lighting. It was very clean. Everybody was super nice. They get everybody up and walking. They have people that come in and entertain with music and stuff like that. They have mass there, say the rosary every morning, and somebody brings communion once a week."
