Assisted Living Communities in Kawkawlin, MI

"My parents have been at Candlestone for over a year now. My Mom is in assisted living, and my Dad is in Memory Care, so I’ve seen everything the community has to offer. Overall my parents have been happy and well looked after, and that makes me very happy and grateful. The staff are warm and friendly, the food is good (yes I’ve tried the food), they always have fun activities for the residents, and the facility is clean and inviting. I routinely “pop in” to visit unannounced and I’m always impressed with the level of care and attention I see between the staff and the residents. In fact, I’ve gotten to know some of the staff, and I can attest they are committed to the highest level of care. They always have a smile on their face, and they always go the extra mile for the residents. When I began my search for an assisted living facility for my parents I visited several throughout Midland, and Candlestone impressed me the most. Since then I’ve been very happy with my decision, and so have my parents. I highly recommend Candlestone to anyone in need of an assisted living facility."

"My wife was at Brookdale Midland. It was for respite care. The size is good because it's small. They're a pretty close group. The staff was very good. Their food was excellent. The cleanliness was good. It's reasonably new; it's not an old place or anything. For activities, they played cards and bingo. My wife enjoyed it; she thought it was nice. The layout was good. The rooms weren't as big as some of the other ones, but you're not in there that much. The atmosphere was very friendly."

"In the 68 years that I have been alive, I have never found a place that has better customer service. Every, and I mean every single person we interacted with was amazing. Due to my mother’s illness we visited all hours of the day and night and never had any problems or concerns with the staff. The building is very clean, free of odors and feels like home. We have never seen any residents that look unhappy or not cared for. The activities that take place are so wonderful, and family is able to join in. Dezarae, Kathy and Loren are so reassuring with the medications and take the time to know who the residents are. The food is wonderful, if mom wanted a grilled cheese or egg sandwich in place of a meal, it was not an issue. The housekeeper Katlynn was so kind and made sure to interact with mom when cleaning the room. We loved the layout of the apartment and that she could have a bird feeder outside of her window. Yes, they are expensive, however so are luxury vehicles. I am old enough to know that you get what you pay for. "

"What I like about Bickford of Saginaw is that it seems nice and bright. The staff are friendly, and they mostly serve home-cooked food. The structure of the building is good, and it appears to be relatively clean. It feels homey, and there are plenty of places for people to go to watch TV or play games."

"I had an in-person tour of Brookdale Saginaw. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about the facility. As of right now, this is one of my top choices. They even invited me to speak to some of the residents as well, so that was very nice. I got to meet with the chef, and she was open and honest about everything. They showed me every nook and cranny of the building, so that was wonderful. They have a nice little apartment room, like a studio apartment. It has a nice little kitchenette in it where they provide a microwave, a refrigerator, a little sink, and little cabinets to keep dishes and whatnot. It has a personal bathroom with a shower. The staff was wonderful. The chef made a fresh loaf of banana bread and sent me home with a piece, which was very nice. There were no odors or anything in there. It was absolutely clean and beautiful."

"We visited Vassar Fields, and it seemed very good. There were people my parents knew who were living there so they were considering it at that time. They had arts and crafts and bingo. They had a room where people could come in, have popcorn, and watch movies and shows. They also have entertainment coming in from the outside. We visited the assisted living part, and I noticed that the independent living places seemed to be larger compared to the assisted living ones. They also didn't have a full kitchen. It was more of a room with a bathroom like a hotel suite, which is nice, but it didn't have kitchen facilities. The facility is also older."

"My mom is in Linwood Residence, she's in a state that's not well. She's getting the best care possible, but she does not recognize me and don't know what's going on. She doesn't communicate at all; I haven't seen her in 6 weeks and I can't talk to her. They won't let us in because of the governor. The staff are very caring people, and they go out of their way to help do what they can. She's in a better home before, because she was living in a home that only had 6 ladies with dementia, but they're closed."

"First thing my husband noticed was the cleanliness of the facility. Staff was was great. My father-in-law was only there for tow and a half months but they celebrated his 100th birthday! So very pleased with his healing and physical and occupational therapy. I will highly recommend them!"

"Our father was a resident at the Sheffield. It was Beautiful inside including the rooms and it was always clean. We were so happy with our dad‘s care. The staff was amazing and they were so loving towards all the residents. I highly recommend Sheffield if you are looking for a place for your loved one. We can’t say enough about our whole experience at Sheffield. We have 6 children in our family and we all loved everything about this place! "

"Staff was very helpful and friendly. Facility was clean and well kept."

"Bay Valley AFC Inc is like two blocks from my house. So that was a big factor in choosing it for my mom. I would highly recommend it. They let us come in at any time for visits. We can spend the night. They have home-cooked meals. They're just very caring to my mom and other people. They have church, bingo, they have singing groups, and they do their laundry right here for them. They are always friendly and always warm. They are always very open to anything that we talk about. They allow me to help my mom, and I bring my dog. It's a home, not just an assisted living. They will make her special things if she wants, like she gets hot cocoa every time she asks for it. They will allow us to come in as a family and use the kitchen. I'm very pleased. It's good just to be able to walk in and not smell urine smells and feces smells. It's very clean. The staff is always available to help. I thought my mom was going to be a lot of work for them, and they're like, "She's one of the easier residents," so I was very thankful for that. It is homier than the others. They allowed us to bring in a fish tank for my mom."

"Plainview Assisted Living is very nice. They take really good care of dad. He gets fed well and they find things for him to keep him busy. He enjoys doing group things and he likes it there. They have people come in and play music, they do exercises like throwing the ball around, and there's a person that comes in to do exercises with them. There are people that come in and do crafts, and there's somebody that comes in and cuts his hair or cuts his toe nails. The doctor comes in there, too. He's taken very well care of, and he doesn't even have to leave. With this Covid, he can't go anywhere anyway, and they won't let people in. They haven't had any cases, so they've been very fortunate. The staff is very nice, very helpful, and if you need some kind of help, they're always happy to help. My dad told me that he has a personal chef that makes him food. He loves the food there. It's clean, very nice, they decorate for all the seasons, and they include the people that live there. I can't say enough about the place. I'm very happy with it. Being that we have the Covid, it kinda limits things, but they do as much as they can with what they have. They still do crafts and stuff, and they bring in someone to do crafts with them. They paint pictures, they frost cookies, and decorate Christmas cookies. They keep them busy, they give them things to do to let them enjoy, so they're not just sitting there doing nothing."

"I visited Close To Home Assisted Living which was a remodeled school. It's kind of an average place. The staff members were pretty good and they were quite helpful in giving us the tour. They have a courtyard and lawns, and they have places where you could walk out like balconies. The upkeep and cleanliness were also average. It's located near restaurants and a hospital."
