The Best Assisted Living Communities in Kalamazoo County, MI

"We are current residents of StoryPoint Kalamazoo. The food, activities, and facility are very good. We have been very pleased ever since we moved in. It represents a great place to live out your senior life. My apartment is a little over 1700 square feet. We have all the space that we really need. It's like a three-bedroom. We have endless activities. We go on trips, and we go on lunch and supper outings. We have a music review tonight of the spring music activities. We bring in artists from the university. We had the Kalamazoo Orchestra. Right now, my wife is practicing handbells for a handbell concert that is being held next week. We have a full woodshop, a stained-glass studio, and pottery. They have transportation to all the different things. The grounds are being redone. Inside, the facilities are being repainted and has new carpeting in and new furniture. It's like brand new. The food is very good. One nice thing we have here that most communities don't have is underground parking. It's incredible."

"I have been to Brookdale Portage twice to look at the place and I'm actually going back there with my son. It was a very nice place. I liked that they had larger bedrooms. The facility looked lovely. It was very nice, clean, and very neat. The staff has been there for many years. I was able to talk to some of them, who have been there for 17 and 19 years, and that tells a lot. The food was delicious. The chef sat at the table with us, gave us a beautiful salad with vegetables and fruits, and everything was cut and displayed beautifully."

"It is new. It has nice wide halls and lots of light. It's just more open and it feels less institutional. I saw activities going on. I saw some singing going on and some cardio drumming at one point while I was there. It looks very clean."

"My mom is 90 years old and she needed immediate assistance. I needed an assisted living facility that fit my budget and included range of services. I was glad that Stanford was one stop Shop and provided all services my mom needed at one affordable cost. The rooms were well lit and illuminated with natural light and the food was based on my mom's need. After 2 and a half months of my mom being there, I can proudly say that Stanford is her home away from home. They are taking great care of her. "

"My husband will be moving to Blueberry Hill Assisted Living. We had a very nice tour of the place, and the staff was very nice and informative. They also have lots of things for the residents to get involved in. I don't think the assisted living room we saw was the largest, but there was nothing wrong with it. The upkeep of the place was very good, too. We went through the dining area, and it was very clean."

"We moved my father in from a sister facility, after my mother passed. I was lucky that there was a studio apartment available right away. The staff has been great in caring for my father (who is not the easiest person). I am updated on important issues, that i asked for when we moved him in. Maple Lake is a smaller facility, so the care is very one on one. Which is great not only for a resident, but also family members. Dad has said the food at Maple Lake is better than the previous facility, so that is a good thing. I highly recommend Maple Lake to anyone who is looking for quality care for a loved one."

"I'm not sure why there aren't any recent photos; this place was entirely remodeled. The new owner really impresses me how he is personally involved in everything."

"Love Hailey! She is absolutely wonderful! Staff is so kind and helpful! Looking forward to getting a good night sleep knowing my father is in good hands! Thank you Hailey!"

"It was very clean. A lot of people had their doors open, and everything was clean and smelled nicely. The people were incredibly nice. It was a quiet neighborhood. I liked the whole setup of it. They don't have a nursing home, but they will keep you until the end. The staff has been in constant contact with my relative and with me too. I liked it so well and it was convenient, so I didn't go any place else."

"I visited the assisted living facility of NorthPointe Woods, and it was really good. They have amenities like a beauty salon and a credit union, or whatever banking facility that is. I think they also have a transportation service. They have lots of activities there, too. The area outside has gardens growing vegetables and things that the chef uses. They were accommodating to people. The dining area was open. It had open windows looking over the courtyard, so the lighting was good."

"Rooms are very spacious. They are basically apartments. My mother really loved that it does not feel like an AL. She feels very independent but with a lot of services and safety with always having someone there. She enjoys the meals. She likes to be able to join an activity or not. Staff are very nice and you know they care. Administration is always available if I have any questions. I recommend to anyone who wants mom or dad somewhere you can have piece of mind."

"My uncle is comfortable at Kelly's Hillside Manor. He likes the other people who live there. He likes the guy who owns the place who also takes him to all his doctors' appointments. My uncle shares a room with a fella and they get along really well. The owner's wife is from the Philippines and she does all the cooking, so she cooks Filipino food and my uncle really likes it. The owner takes them out for a pizza once every two weeks and asks them if they want to go to a movie and if they do, he takes them. Don, the owner, is a really great guy who cares a lot about the people. He always talks to them and listens to what they have to say."
