The Best Assisted Living Communities in Ottawa County, MI

"The rooms at Grand Village are very nice. My relative lives in a beautiful apartment with a separate bedroom, very spacious walk in closet and bathroom. The living room has a slider that looks out to a gorgeous courtyard with roses, hydrangea bushes and patio furniture for people to sit and visit. The staff at Grand Village is one of their greatest assets . Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to help a resident or their family. The staff address residents by their names which is so much more respectful than using words like sweetie or honey. We have witnessed on many occasions while visiting having staff knock on the door and wait for a response and then come in with food or medicine etc. At those times our relative may engage in small talk with the staff member. We notice how they respond to our relative in a friendly manner. When our relative makes requests the staff typically fulfills the request or provides a time the request will be completed. We looked at several assisted living facilities before moving our relative to Grand Village. We started our relative at Grand Village as a respite spot. During that time we felt this was the right place for our relative and our relative also told us she did not want to leave. We feel our relative is getting the best care and we have no worries ."

"I like Rivertown Ridge. It's newer. It's four years old. The people are very friendly. We went through independent living to their memory care. They were very helpful. People were coming up and introducing themselves. They have a large area for walking, a tennis court, and a lovely outdoor pool. It's just a nice feeling. In terms of cleanliness, it's very clean and very well taken care of."

"I toured Woodland Gardens. That one was very nice as well. They have a live-in guy, which is kind of cool. So he's there all the time, and then he has a couple of days off where other people come in. Other than the ones who came in to help out when we were there, he was making cookies and making lunch and doing it all. He lives right there, so there's somebody there at night all the time. They don't have to worry about somebody calling in at night to not show up or somebody having to work a double because somebody doesn't show up or whatever. I guess all their buildings have a live-in person. They have up to six residents. They have single rooms with half baths. They have a tub and shower room that they can shower in, and the bathroom itself has a toilet and a sink. The manager-owner himself came out, and all of those who were working there were very knowledgeable about everything as well. He'd been there for four years, the fellow that lives there. He was doing laundry, and there was a pile of laundry on the couch that had to be folded."

"Commonwealth Senior Living at North Byron was nice. The colors were all light and airy, and the rooms were inviting. The staff members were very helpful, informative, friendly, and welcoming. The rooms were a nice size and very comfortable."

"The Cortland Wyoming was very nice. However, the colors of the rooms were pretty dark. Other than that, it was great. They had a lot of extra things for seniors. They were awesome. They were very helpful and very informative. The rooms were a little small. The common area was awesome, though. It was very welcoming and comfortable."

"Byron Center Manor looked very nice. The people were friendly. They have nice rooms. The dining area was nice and clean too."

"We went to Care Cardinal. We liked the facility and its size. It was personal. The staff was fantastic. The staff gave us a sheet, and she also explained very well what is included and what daily life looks like, and things like that, so that was fantastic. They have a kitchen with staff. They provide three meals a day. They have a common room. There are TVs in every room. You can personalize your room however you want. That was a good thing for us, too."

"I toured Harbor Homes Norton Shores. I'm impressed with the staff and people who are in the building. The facility was very good. The rooms were very good. The layout was very nice and easy to move around. They have four separate buildings. Each one of the buildings has its dining room, and they're very clean and very nice. It has a very good atmosphere. It's close to everything, shopping and all that. It's also close to a hospital in case something happens, they don't have far to go."

"My mom moved to Commonwealth Senior Living at Grand Rapids. I like that it wasn't too large for her. There are a lot of beautiful facilities in the Grand Rapids area, but this would seem to suit her personality more. It has beautiful views of a pond and some woods, and my mom seems to like the food. On certain days of the week or months, they will have different musicians come in and play. They do crafts and bingo. They do a "Travel Around the World Series" where they bring exotic places to them, so that's fun. They do a lot of different things. They also have a hydroponic garden that grows green leafy vegetables, which they watch grow and then consume."

"My father-in-law will be moving here. It's beautiful; the apartment that he's going into is very clean and spacious. The bathroom facilities are wonderful. The staff was very informative and very friendly. The dining area was very nice. It's still kind of short because of the COVID, as far as being able to eat in the dining room itself, but it's coming back. It looks very nice, and the chef even came out and introduced herself to us. The activities are limited right now because of Covid. They have a spa and a fitness room. They have a beauty shop, a nice library area, and a nice little bistro area along with their dining room. It was very nice and very clean, I was very happy with them."

"Mom just got transferred here. We really like the people there. They're really friendly and bent over backwards to help people, and they seem to work well with people with dementia. She has a nice big room with windows that let a lot of sunshine in. She's happy with her room. It's a private studio. They have activities all the time during the day for the dementia people. They have trips where they go to the store and do stuff in the area. They have a courtyard so you can go outside. They've got it all. It's all fenced in, so you don't have to worry about your parents wandering off. My mom was really happy with the first meal she had there. It's really nice the way it was laid out."

"The guy at Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris was phenomenal. He showed me the rooms, he showed me the facilities, and he showed me where they make the dinners. The guy was on top of everything. He gave me all kinds of advice. He spent about an hour and a half talking with me. The room was beautiful. The place was beautiful. It was phenomenal. Everybody was very hospitable. They were very lively, and they were rambunctious. I think they're probably told that, 'Hey, when you see someone walking around, you just express yourself like hey, good morning or hey, good afternoon.' They acknowledged you. That's why that's the place I'm picking for my wife. If she is going to go anywhere, that's where she is going to go."
