Assisted Living Communities in South Haven, MI

"They welcomed me into their home and it was a very warm feeling. The staff was very warm and informational. The rooms were top-notch. I have other aunts with me that were saying, "Can I put my reservations?" They had a location for a spiritual setting, a piano, a bowling lane, a theater, and an exercise room. They had a common area and a kitchen and a dining area specific for memory care. They, with supervision, can take part in other activities such as the exercise, the movie theater, the game, and the church, and they have an outdoor patio to themselves. I was not able to sample the food, but I did see pictures and the menu to complement the pictures as to what they have. It's all prepared in-house and all-natural."

"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."

"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."

"Freedom Village Holland was just as nice. It was just not all on one floor. Part of it was like six floors. It was a big building. My father actually stayed there for short-term rehab and the staff was excellent. He had a shared room and I would say it was comfortable. My father didn't like the food, but it was excellent. It did not have a homey feel. I know their rehab services are excellent. "

"American House Holland was beautiful and gorgeous. The rooms were beautiful and seemed to be bigger, and the staff was very nice. The activities looked like they were pretty comprehensive, and they did a good job with it."

"The rooms are very well maintained and very clean. They can easily be decorated to look like home. The meals are good, and the staff is excellent. This was, and continues to be, the best possible place for my mom."

"My parents moved to Laurel Oaks of South Haven and they're doing well there. It is new, so the amenities on the site are new. It's only about two years old. They have an administrative nurse who is there at least five days a week, if not more. The staff is friendly. They have both assisted living and memory care. They have field trips, as well as activities onsite. They also have a salon onsite for them to have their hair done, and three meals a day. It's also in close proximity to one of their children, so that works out really well. They started out in assisted living, but it became obvious they needed more, so they're now in memory care. What needs to be improved is some of the communication back and forth with the administrative staff when you want an answer or you call. I realize they're busy. They have a lot of patients. One of the things that we had to work with the staff on was we didn't want phone calls for every little thing, like if there was a stomachache. They're elderly and they tend to have a lot of hallucinations. It's probably one of the more expensive ones, but we have two parents in memory care, so that adds to the cost considerably, and we know that."

"Lighthouse Assisted Living was small but very homey. It gave you a feeling of almost being in a home rather than an institution. They may only have six or seven residents, I think. The place was very clean, and the owner who showed me around was very informative. In fact, she had worked for a senior-living facility for eighteen years, so she's very experienced. The other staff member was very pleasant too. The menu looked very nice, and they said that it was just like a regular kitchen in your home. It's not a huge kitchen, though, since they didn't have that many residents. They had a piano, a table that was set up with puzzles, a nice patio in the back with chairs, a grilling area, and a laundry facility."

"Golden Orchards is very clean, very nice, and they’re very polite. The food was good. I am very happy with where he was. "

"The residents always seem happy and the staff is very caring. It's a cozy environment "

"My step mother moved into the Willows Assisted Living for approximately a month now, so as far as we’re concerned, everything’s been good, but step mom is in an adjustment period. She’s in assisted living, and she had to have help, because she walks through the walker. The atmosphere is very warm, very welcoming, and everybody is friendly. The rooms are very nice, spacious, and we put in a queen-size bed, an apartment-size couch, swivel chair, and a new TV in her room. It’s pretty accommodating. The staff is very helpful, very knowledgeable, and does what the boss tells them to do. They’re comfortable in what they’re doing. They have something going on a minimum of four days out of seven, and they have different activities. For St. Patrick's Day, they decorated all the tables, played games, and one person came in, sang and played the keyboard. It seemed like they’re concerned about the residents and want the people to be happy. We’re solely responsible for doctor’s appointments and medical appointments. The price is one of the motivation factors for us. It’s a missionary-type thing. You have to pay out-of-pocket for the first two years minimum; after that if something happened and the resident ran out of money, they will take Medicaid or Social Security, and they do not put you out on the street. It’s close to home, really convenient, and we’re there in 15 or 20 minutes, and that was a real plus for us."

"We toured White Oaks. What I liked about it was that it was very busy. There were lots of people around, residents, and staff. Kathy is the one who took me on the tour and she did a great job answering questions. She followed up as well. For the activities, I asked questions like, "I think my mom would need someone beside her if she went on an activity". So she told me how they would handle that situation. We didn't see any of the regular rooms. They have two sections that are for memory care, and they're nice rooms. They're big enough that you could have a twin bed, a dresser, a recliner, or a loveseat. They were big enough and clean. I like their place, too. I think the building was well-maintained and it appeared to be clean. I didn't see anything that needed to be done."
