Assisted Living Communities in Highland, MI

"Vicinia Gardens is excellent. The staff is great. A lot of them are nursing students there. They have arts and crafts, exercise, and different activities. They have a chef, so there’s home-cooked meals every day. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable with nice wallpaper, carpet, and paint. The knowledge, involvement, and engagement of the staff stood out to me. "

"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."

"My Mom was here for two years. She was treated with love, respect and empathetic care; and as a true member of Danielle and Daniels family. You will never find a more beautiful and caring home. "

"I would not recommend Cranberry Park West Bloomfield for memory care. I took a picture of the food they served my husband for dinner one night, and it was a cup-sized chili, a small croissant with such a thin layer of either chicken salad or tuna salad on it that you couldn't even see it without lifting the bread, and a juice. The facility was clean. The first thing they tell you is they will keep your loved ones safe, but they did not do that. I was just so upset that my husband spent six days in the hospital until I could find another place to put him, and when we got that done, he only lived about nine days and died, and I blame it all on the fall. Another resident shoved him, went into the wall, hit his head, and then fell to the floor on his hands and knees. I had seen him that day, and he was functioning as good as he always has. He walked, he talked, he ate, and he could express his opinions. After that fall, I went to the hospital and saw him in an emergency room. I could not understand him because all he was talking about was gibberish. There was no program in trying to help his memory. I went in one day, and he was sitting all by himself in the dining room. On another day, he was in the dining room looking out the window. Nobody else was with him. If I had to do it over again, he would never have been placed there. The staff was OK. They were friendly, but they didn't give him much help. All they did was babysit. They didn't keep him safe. He was a big eater, and he would eat anything, but when I saw what they were giving him for dinner, that's all he had. As far as personalities go, the staff was very friendly, but they certainly did not do a good job with memory care. They were not trained for it. The only thing I ever saw them do was play balloon volleyball. They had puzzles set up and Legos and stuff like that, but nobody was ever there to help them. I saw one lady who was working on a jigsaw puzzle by herself. I think with the balloon volleyball, it was just my husband, and when I came in, I joined in, but the rest was all staff."

"It was clean, fresh, uplifting, and felt like a beautiful hotel. The staff was helpful, and there were activities. I saw the library, which had nice chairs and interesting pictures on the walls."

"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 husband moved here. So far, he's doing OK. I saw that the whole place is nice and clean, really upbeat, and the people are very nice. I can't say anything about the food because he hasn't eaten since he got there. That's his choice though, it's not because they didn't try to get him to eat. The staff seems really nice. He's in memory care because he has advanced dementia. It's all on one floor, the doors are locked all the way around the place, and you need a keycard to get in. They have activities daily, but I don't know what they are, and part of that is because he's probably not engaging in those anyway since he is in pretty bad shape."

"The owners and employees treat the residents as if they are family. It is very clean and has no medicinal smell. The food is made mostly from scratch and they adjust for each resident's dietary needs. Each person's clothing from the day is cleaned at night and their night clothes are cleaned during the morning. Each resident has their own furnished room with a large flat screen TV and cable. Residents each have a sit to stand recliner to relax in during the day. Ahava brings in a recreational therapist twice a week plus bingo twice a week, and an art instructor once a week. In addition, a nurse visits regularly and they arrange for residents to have PT and/or OT as needed. The doctor comes regularly as well."

"I really liked them. It was a very nice facility, but the location was not ideal. It was a very modern and new building, and there's a lot of space. The staff is immunized. They have pretty much everything. I like the place, but it was miles away from anybody to visit. The staff was very interested. They were chatty on the tour. Everybody seemed committed towards the good of the facility for the residents. They're right next to a big garden center that gives classes, tours, and things. Every floor had a smaller private meeting room, if you wanted to stay up near your mom's room or down in the larger rooms on the main floor. It was very nice. The rooms all have about the same layout and the same size."

"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."

"Magnolia by the Lakes seemed like a perfectly good place. The apartment that I saw was very nice. It seemed very clean and relatively new. The staff who gave me the tour was very friendly and very personable. He was a very nice guy. He seemed to know what he was doing, and seemed familiar with this. They had a small pool. It looked like they had a little mini-golf course. They had a nice eating area and a nice lounge area where people could go to. They didn't take me into the kitchen itself, but I saw the dining area. They seemed to have a nice enough dining place where people eat. I didn't have the opportunity to actually try the food. The place seemed very clean."

"I chose Courtyard Manor of Fenton for my aunt because the director was very knowledgeable and they seemed like they really care there. It was a very good decision. The size is small and she gets personal attention. The staff is wonderful. Her room is clean, comfortable, she can have any item she chooses from home, and it's very big too, its spacious. She's allowed to have a dog. They have indoor activities. I'm getting more than I pay for compared to the other places I've seen."

"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."
