The Best Assisted Living Communities in Kalamazoo County, MI

"Everything so far that we have experienced with Story Point has been wonderful. When we needed help with my mom’s dog, staff helped. Now we are having more issues and everyone has been great. Giving wonderful experienced advice and just giving us time to figure things out. Our mother had met some great people that she now calls them friends. The facility sits on a great piece of property and is very inviting. I would totally recommend this Senior place of it fits for yourself or your parents."

"Tammy was the woman that met with us and gave us a tour at Brookdale Portage. She was really informative and very warm. I really liked her. I enjoyed the place. It had a nice room with a nice window for my brother to have. It had a little kitchenette so he could make his own food, and a space where could make coffee. It had a nice area for him to move around. It's almost like a teeny little apartment. The price was all inclusive. So, there were not a lot of add-ons. It was more affordable."

"It is a brand-new facility. They had courtyards where the residents can wander in and out of. I just thought it had a very friendly atmosphere to it. The staff who showed us around was very knowledgeable and very experienced. They have a looped layout so that you can't get lost; you would find your room no matter what because they just go in a circle. They're a pretty simple layout."

"I toured Blueberry Hill Assisted Living Lawton. I like that it was clean. The people were very friendly. The rooms were of a good size. They're not tiny, but they're not enormous either. All the meals are provided. The person during the tour was very informative, answered any questions that we had, and generally showed us around the facility. So she did a great job. The people stay in a room. They have activities that you can go on and they have meals that are prepared. The residents don't ever cook. They have three meals a day and a snack in the evening."

"We are so thankful for TrueCare. They were the only assisted living place that financially met our needs. The rooms are cozy and the French toast is amazing. Plenty of things to do for residents and the tranquil outdoors makes it perfect for watching the birds. They have a beautiful park across the street to sit on a bench or go for a walk. Staff are easy to work with and do a great job taking care of the residents.. We love Calina, Iris, Paige, Judy and Nicol! They are committed to taking care of the residents and have become part of the family."

"We had a very nice tour. I liked the size of the rooms and that seemed to be really nice. The bathroom that goes with it is big enough that you can get a wheelchair in very easily, so that looks like it's a plus. I see that they have a salon to do the people's hair there, and that sounds kind of a plus for me too. I see that they've got a nice little spot in the backyard that's fenced in so that nothing can get in, and my mother won't end up wandering somewhere, and it seems to be very clean from what I've seen. The man that showed us through on tour was very helpful. I also talked to a lady to find out where we were supposed to meet and stuff, and she seemed like she was really nice, too. We didn't have a meal, but they told us that there are three meals scheduled each day, and they have a nutritionist for their whole great big corporation type thing, so they have very nutritious meals is what I understand. I like the fact that they had a TV room where the residents could gather together. There is also a sitting room up near the front. There is a piano up there, and they said sometimes people come in and play the piano for the residents so that they can be together. Or you could go back to your room and kind of have privacy if you wanted. Everything seemed to be very clean and nice, so I would say that they have a really good crew."

"My father-in-law is very happy with Bickford of Battle Creek. His sons go there and take him out on occasions. They did a veteran's thing recently and some of the family went. He said that the food is good and they feed him a lot. The place looks really elegant. It's always clean, nice, and the rooms are laid out well. The rooms have a little kitchenette and little bedroom areas as well. There are different kinds of rooms and the staff members are very pleasant. The residents go out to movies, they go to eat, and they play bingo and cards. They have several activities they can participate in if they choose to. It's expensive, but for what they offer, I think they have a good price compared to other places. This place is a good fit and I'm always impressed with everything when I go there. Some of the other places don't have as much to offer. I also like that the residents can lock their doors or their stuff, although the staff members can still go in. They seem to be full of people that you can associate with."

"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."

"Wonderful warm community filled with caring staff. Supportive and always there for residents . "

"We did a tour of Heritage Community of Kalamazoo. I liked that the staff was readily available to explain how a continuum of care investment was a good fit for our family. They have a lot of dining options and socially active living for independent living to support long-term care, and for healthier living for as long as possible. I have tried the food and it's very delicious. The place is immaculate."

"I live close by the Heritage Community and so I was able to have a tour in the facility. The place was nice. The staff seemed very friendly and attentive with what they are doing. They were also compassionate. They have different activities like they have music, church services; pretty much anything that a resident wants. She has dementia so they were really focused on memory activities and things that would stimulate the brain activity. They also do what they call a friendship approach. They basically assign one person to be that specific resident's friend. "
