The Best Assisted Living Communities in Livingston County, MI

"I did a full tour at Symphony of Linden. I did talk to a lady and she gave me a pamphlet and everything. She showed me a couple of different rooms. That was in the main hall itself. The other ones outside were basically assisted living, and I told her we weren't really looking for that because she's been diagnosed with dementia, and I noticed it's getting worse. To me, it was kind of rushed. It was nice. The people were nice. I like how it's decorated. It's not just a plain Jane hallway or anything. I would recommend it. I know my landlord's been in there for rehab and he really liked it. It's clean and very friendly. We did pass by a dining area and it was very clean. We weren't there for a meal or anything like that."

"I'm very happy here at StoryPoint Fenton. I am in one of the independent apartments. There are 10 independent apartments alongside the main building, and I am in one of them. I moved here for independent living, but there's a place that I can step down when that becomes necessary. I could move inside the main building to assisted living, or they also have a unit of memory care. The apartment I'm in is wonderful. It's a two-bedroom, two-bath. It is about 1,200 square feet, maybe a little more than that even. It has a two-car garage. I'm still driving, so that's important for me. I like the apartment. I'm hoping that if I ever have to move inside, I will be as happy in there. I heard very good reports when one of my friends moved from the apartments into the big building. She was very happy with the staff. She said, everyone was just really nice to her. She was comforted by that because she wasn't crazy about moving inside. She wanted to maintain her independence, but that wasn't possible health-wise. I like the idea that there are kind people waiting for me. I would like to have a little bit more activity for the people in the independent apartments, but there's a new salesperson, and he's doing better. So, they may come up with things for us to do. I'm still mobile enough that I have my friends, and I've lived in this area my whole adult life, so I do a lot of things away from the community. The camaraderie isn't as important to me right now, but I'm hoping that as time goes on, that we'll be more of a community instead of just apartments. I would like to see more group activities for the apartments, and they're moving in that direction. I think this new company wants to do that, so I'm looking forward to it. They have very nice staff. I do my own food and maintain my independence. However, if I would like to go in and have a meal, I can do that just by letting them know that I will be in, and then I pay separately for that. The food in general is very good. They have brunch once a month, and that's always very good. I ate a few dinners there, and I enjoyed them, and I've had a couple of friends who live there, and they always say the food is good. The facility is very nicely decorated, and it's always very clean. It's brand new. The main building has one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, or studio apartments for people who need assistance. I could have rented in there if I wanted to, but since I'm driving, the garage was important, and I still like my privacy, so I would rate it very highly. The people who live inside the big building have games, card games, and board games. They have cooking time. Right now, we're short of a driver's license for the bus, but they're working on that. They have a lot of activities planned for it. They have exercise, and church on Sunday. They usually do that like on TV, but they have a minister or priest come in, like once a month, and they do call that a non-denominational service. They make crafts, entertainment, music, and singers or groups. I think the entertainment is good for the people who live inside, and I can go to any of those activities. If I want to go and exercise in there, I can every day. However, I don't do that because I exercise independently with my friends. But I could take part in anything that is planned if I wanted to. It is very expensive. I think that people have moved out because they couldn't afford it. I think they're all pretty close together. They all are high, and they all increase every year, but it is expensive."

"Rose Senior Living at Providence Park is really incredible. It was beautifully landscaped, and the views of the woods were very nice. It was a big facility, but it was very nice and very clean. The staff was very nice and caring. They seem to have all the bases covered, and they had everything you would need. The people or seniors going around seemed happy. The had all the amenities, such as an exercise room, library, a movie theater, and a nice snack bar area. When I toured, it was really nice."

"Chateau of Novi sounds like a lavish castle, but it is actually a pretty modest place. It's located in a very nice area of Novi and the facilities are well kept. I had a family friend who moved here and stayed for an extended period of time. He liked the staff and the amenities long enough to stay longer than anyone in my family thought he would. I will say that the place, although not quite as awe inspiring as its name, was always very clean and it smelled nice. The minimal staff that I interacted with always seemed to be pretty amiable and I couldn't find any major issues with the establishment.This was all within the last year, so I doubt there has been much change. Its location is probably the greatest asset it has going. Novi is a spectacular area and it is very safe. I didn't loathe my visits to the Chateau of Novi because it was clean and there was the noticeable absence of odor that is prevalent in these types of homes. "

"Words to not even begin to describe what a loving home my grandmother lives in. I was extremely sadden when we needed to separate my grandparents after 65 years of marriage, but when I visited Daniella’s all of my worries disappeared. This home is the most loving, nurturing, beautiful place ran by a pure angel. Daniella and all of her staff not only care of my grandmother but they truly love her. The home is extremely warm and inviting. All of the care givers take care of each resident with the utmost respect and love I truly believe that because of Daniella we have been given 2 more years with my grandmother which we probably wouldn’t have if she were anywhere else. I could not have asked for a better place for my grandmother to have spent the rest of her days at. We are truly blessed to have found Daniella and are forever grateful for the love she has bestowed upon my grandmother. Thank you for all that you do!"

"This was such a wonderful place for my father-in-law. I just wished we found it sooner. The food was wonderful, the care was so touching and full of empathy. It just felt like a home environment yet with 24 hour care we could finally relax. Again Eric and his staff Amy were beyond what I had at his previous place."

"I am very pleased with Atria senior living (Atria Park of Ann Arbor). It is a very fine facility. They seem to be conscious of everybody that is there and what is going on with them. The rooms are very nice. It has a little more privacy than what you will typically find in a memory care. They have all kinds of specific activities for people who have dementia. They have things going on all day. The have a spa day. They have exercise, music, and a sharing time or kind of a news time. My parents are in their second month there and there's already been 3 or 4 outings. The food is very good with a wide variety. They have 2 options on every meal. They have fresh homemade soup every meal. They have 1 soup each day, but it is a different soup every day. The dining area has small tables of 4 -- which has cloth napkins and tablecloths -- and it is lovely. Every memory care has its own dining area so there are only 20 people. My parents are in the memory care, and they are on the 4th floor. They cannot go up and down on the elevator because it is a locked elevator. They are very good. "

"My mother started in independent living and then moved to assisted. She has loved the amenities in both apartments. The community is extremely clean, has excellent activities, food is delicious and care staff is attentive. I find the executive director and his team accessible and active with the residents. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend others here!"

"I went to The Avalon of Commerce Township. That's a nice place. The rooms are double the size of any of the other rooms of any place I was at. You could bring in a couch, you can bring in chairs and still have plenty of room. You can bring in a dresser. It's just lovely. And they have a different way of handling their food presentation, The dining room is set up for like five rooms that are in a particular area. And then the next area is going to a different dining room. And they move them around, which I think is pretty exciting. I remember him walking me through various doors to get to different areas of the facility. And one end is memory care, but you had to use a certain lock. It was just for employees. The other people couldn't open those doors. It was just to keep the people in a particular area. So, I thought the security was pretty good and the memory care people have their own courtyard, they can go outside. But in this courtyard is an interior courtyard and protected. I just really, really like that place. He told me that they have a routine. It's different every day, but they have routine things. When they get up in the morning and dress and so forth, then they might play table volleyball or something like that and then they do whatever they want and then they go to lunch, and in the afternoon they have other things that keep the people moving. I didn't like the exterior. It looks like a big manufacturing place. It's a big square building three or four stories high, and it's just not attractive. I was introduced to several people as we did our walk, and they were all just so friendly and calling the patients by name and being cheerful with them and responding to them. The staff in this place was very, very friendly. Every unit had its own sitting area with a television. You can have a television in your room, too. A lot of them don't let you do that. It was absolutely clean. The floors looked like you were going to skate on them. They were so shiny and clean."

"My aunt gets excellent care at Courtyard Manor of Fenton. The staff has been excellent. The dining area is large and very clean. The staff has always been very accommodating in getting the residents whatever they need. It's a very clean and caring place. It's a good place for us, and it has accommodated our needs."

"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."
