Assisted Living Communities in Jackson, MI

"I live near Maplewood of Marshall so I've visited it. It's assisted living but they have people that are there permanently and can drive, get out and walk around in those sorts of things. I like the cleanliness and orderliness of the place. The staff is very professional and gave me as much time as I needed to ask questions and look around. The place is very clean. They're decorated well and generally well taken care of. It's just north of town, it's near a condo complex and it's quite nice on the outside."

"I went to New Haven Foster Care. The rooms were good sized. I liked that it was homey. It felt like you were in a house, although it had lots of bedrooms. They had a common area. Someone could stay in their room and not feel cramped and they could come out to the common area as they wished. The place was neat. The residents were watching TV. There weren't any planned activities going on. The staff person when I was there was pleasant and delightful, answered all my questions and told me things I didn't know I needed to know. The dining area was homey. It had a nice big table for group meals. The facility was well laid out. There were some larger rooms and some smaller rooms, and the price reflected the size of the room. Even the small rooms were pleasant and big enough. I wouldn't mind staying in the small room. I could spend some time in my room and be happy. They have a big backyard. You could have a TV in your room. There's not a salon, but they have people come in to provide those services. They didn't provide transportation for anything. That's the responsibility of the family."

"I toured Brookdale Adrian. There are a lot of features. It's quite home-like. It's a very large building. They have several wings and lots of places. You can even have a cat or a dog. They have transportation if you need to go places. You sign up when you want it, and they leave you for an hour, then they come back and pick you up, and that's a good feature. They have a lot of activities that you can participate in. You can pick and choose the things you like. They have a nice, big dining room, and they fed me a meal while I was there, and I thought it was a good meal. Samantha was very nice and very accommodating. Sometimes you go into a building and you can smell the odor, but I didn't. They change the sheets of the beds every week, and that's a good thing. It's very clean and very orderly. They have a large gathering room where they have a big grand piano and a little section where they have seating for little groups. It's just a pleasant room."

"My visit to Bickford of Okemos was wonderful, the staff was great, and it's very secure. The price point was higher, but it's very well-maintained. They had a variety of activities that they do, and they also transport the residents who live there."

"My mother-in-law is in Bethany Care Home. We're very happy with it, but the problem is they don't have enough staff members. It's really nice, it's clean, and they take good care of people. They're all very nice. They're pretty reasonable. They're not cheap, but they're reasonable."

"My mom moved in to Gracewood memory care about a month ago. Our family loves the facility. Joanne, the house manager, and the staff are amazing. They all are very helpful, and available at any time. The residents do have activities, such as bingo. They have a house doctor at the facility, and she is great. The rooms are very large and nice. We are very thankful to have found such a nice facility for our mom. She is comfortable there, and we are happy she is in a safe, nurturing, loving environment."

"When I visited this facility, I was very impressed with the staff and how great they were with all off the residents. They are so caring for the residents and always go above and beyond their duties. The facilities are very well maintained and always clean. They always eat healthy and are always on maintained well organized schedules. They are very well trained and know what to do in most to all situations. The only thing that I would like to see improvements in would be the communication that they staff and facility has with the family. Whether there is an issue or praise there is some lack of communication. Other than that, the facility has taken very good care of my family member as well as other people I know, their family as well. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is in search of great care for their loved ones as well as people searching for a great facility to work for. "

"We have been bringing mom for respite services every weekend we go out of town. Pharaoh's rest haven is so accommodating, and we truly love the staff!"

"We have chosen Arbor North for my mother-in-law. I like that when you walk in, it's very welcoming and it has a friendly-feeling atmosphere. The entranceway is set up so that in the summertime, it's a nice place for residents to go and socialize. They can sit in the sun or sit in the shade. It's just a very homey feel. They offer a lot of games, activities, and events for the residents, more than many of the other places we looked at. In addition to that, the whole facility is set up more with a homey feel rather than a sterile feel. In addition to that, residents have their own little porch where they can sit down. They share it with their neighbor, but whether they socialize with the neighbors or not, is entirely up to them. The other thing is that, if needed, they provide the amount of care as far as you need laundry services. The residents can do the laundry or a family member could go in and do the laundry, or they'll do the laundry for you for a charge. We did not taste the food, but we saw some of the food being served. From what we can tell and the impression that we were given, it's home-cooked with personal touch. The residents had a couple of choices of what they would like, and it looked good. We talked to a couple of residents, and they said they love it there, and they said they like the food."

"My mother was a resident of RidgeCrest for 29 months 2017-2019, both in rehab and assisted living. She received excellent care. Twice they took her to the hospital when she needed it. She died at RidgeCrest, with hospice aid, peacefully, with three familiar people with her. The caregivers care. They treated her with patience and kindness. The nurses are knowledgeable, conscientious and caring. Each resident receives considerable attention. The facility is clean. My mother told me many times “This is the best place I could be.” Well worth the cost. Thank you RidgeCrest."

"My husband did assisted living at Countryside Manor for six days. They have a nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Their staff was not adequate to handle someone with mental health issues. They weren't very well trained. The place was very nice, and the rooms were nice. I just was not happy with the things that were said to me. The entrance to where he was in was on McCain Road. It's a very large complex, and it has a double entrance with an airlock. It has fancy furniture, and it's very nice looking when you enter. The problem was his mental health problems destabilized, and they weren't able to handle that very well. They got really angry with me and said if they've known he was gonna have trouble, they wouldn't have taken him."

"Summit Park has been wonderful in caring for my mom. They treated her like family and with respect. While the adjustment for a loved one with dementia is difficult, Summit Park had the expertise to help us better understand and deal with issues mom faced. I can't recommend them high enough to anyone considering a place for their loved one."

"My mom moved into Victorian Villa Assisted Living 2 weeks ago. It's a small facility and they have a low number of residents. It's just very homey, and the staff is just amazing. They're very accessible, very helpful, very friendly, and very caring. They provide 3 meals a day. They have activities that go on all the time. They have holiday parties and play games, cards, and board games. They have movie nights all the time."

"While attending game day I was able to observe a very friendly staff. They were friendly to me and their tenants. The facility was fairly new but well kept. There were plenty of seating for guests and the tenants. I viewed a couple of the rooms and they seemed well kept. They both had nice looking beds and it appeared that each room has a TV and their own bathroom. I was impressed with the amount of flowers and the selection of the decor. There were special days planned for the tenant such as game day and family day. I was able to have lunch there as well. The food was pretty good and there was a nice selection for the tenants. I have only attended one of the game days, but I am planning to attend more. Overall I was impressed with the retirement home and would feel comfortable with having family staying there. "
