Assisted Living Communities in Spring Arbor, MI

"Pros: clean, bright, beautiful, caring, good food. Cons: limited activities and exercise"

"I'm living in Arbor Oaks Living Center. I've been here for two years now. I came in a wheelchair, and I'm using a walker now, so I'm taking care of myself. I clean my own apartment. I take my own medicine. I go for my own walks and stuff. The staff is good, the food is decent. They have Wii bowling. Whoever wants to go, they'll put them on a bus and take them for a ride. They do provide weekly errand runs, which means that if you have had to go shopping for anything, they'll go out once a week. You bring your own furniture and everything."

"My husband did assisted living at Countryside Manor for six days. They have a nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Their staff was not adequate to handle someone with mental health issues. They weren't very well trained. The place was very nice, and the rooms were nice. I just was not happy with the things that were said to me. The entrance to where he was in was on McCain Road. It's a very large complex, and it has a double entrance with an airlock. It has fancy furniture, and it's very nice looking when you enter. The problem was his mental health problems destabilized, and they weren't able to handle that very well. They got really angry with me and said if they've known he was gonna have trouble, they wouldn't have taken him."

"My husband was at Mission Point Health Campus of Jackson for over a month. He was there for rehab. They took real good care of them. They had several different dining rooms. I noticed that they had a beauty shop and I think a barber shop combined. They had a nice area for rehab, different machines, and stuff for people to work on. I heard the woman upfront say that two times a week they take people shopping. It seemed to be very clean, and very caring. The chefs were excellent. They have people come in and entertain. Someone plays the piano, a beautiful piano in the entry, and they've had a couple of people play the piano. I think one might have been a resident. They make you feel comfortable. We had one aide who was excellent. I think they all were really helpful. All the employees seemed to be very happy and very competent in their work. Their food was very good. I shared a couple of meals with my husband, and they were excellent."

"We chose Summit Park for my mom. Her room is small and clean, but it has a living room, a bathroom, and a small kitchenette. The food is excellent. They have exercises, walking, crafts, occasional outings, therapy group sessions (like talk sessions), Bible study, and movies. The activities are pretty good, but my mom is able and enhanced, so they're not quite enough for her."

"When I visited this facility, I was very impressed with the staff and how great they were with all off the residents. They are so caring for the residents and always go above and beyond their duties. The facilities are very well maintained and always clean. They always eat healthy and are always on maintained well organized schedules. They are very well trained and know what to do in most to all situations. The only thing that I would like to see improvements in would be the communication that they staff and facility has with the family. Whether there is an issue or praise there is some lack of communication. Other than that, the facility has taken very good care of my family member as well as other people I know, their family as well. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is in search of great care for their loved ones as well as people searching for a great facility to work for. "

"I looked at Arbor North yesterday. It was very nice, neat, and clean, and organized. They have nice apartments. The staff was nice and thorough. We've seen the laundry room, the beauty parlor, and the cafeteria. The dining area looked clean and organized."

"It was so hard on the family when dad was not able to take care of himself. It was even harder when the family had to figure out a schedule in order to give him 24-hour care. When my wife and I wanted to go out on "date night" or "weekend getaways" we found it so hard to get quality care. Pharaoh's Rest Haven was referred to us by a member in our church. We have not looked back since, PRH has given my wife & I our love life back. It is so refreshing to know that my dad is receiving exceptional care. Not to mention the food is amazing, everything is cooked with love!"

"Highland Alzheimer's Care locaated in Jackson Michigan is an outstanding Alzheimer's Care facility. The staff and care there is truly remarkable. They have a chef on staff. Some people question, "Why have a chef". Well, why not? The food is incredible, The residents and their families enjoy it. Also, because of the quality of the food, the residents health usually increases and they are able to stay where they are in their disease a little longer. Highland Alzheimer's Care care for those who are experiencing the last stages of the Alheimer's disease and also, they are able to care for those who have developed behaviour problems. Highland is able to take these wonderful people and provide a quality of life that they could not experience at home or elsewhere. The staff is trained on monthly on-going basis. They are highly trained to redirect the residents when they are in a sad or questioning mood. They are Angels. God Bless the staff at Highland Alzhiemer's Care. "

"My mother-in-law is in Bethany Care Home. We're very happy with it, but the problem is they don't have enough staff members. It's really nice, it's clean, and they take good care of people. They're all very nice. They're pretty reasonable. They're not cheap, but they're reasonable."

"My mom moved into Victorian Villa Assisted Living 2 weeks ago. It's a small facility and they have a low number of residents. It's just very homey, and the staff is just amazing. They're very accessible, very helpful, very friendly, and very caring. They provide 3 meals a day. They have activities that go on all the time. They have holiday parties and play games, cards, and board games. They have movie nights all the time."

"My brother was a resident at Country Living AFC for several months. They have a place outside where they can walk around. It's out in the country. Smokers can smoke. They serve three meals a day. They do the laundry. They have rooms. It's two people in a room. My brother could go outside and walk around. I didn't see a whole lot of activities. They have a television set. They have three meals a day. They do the laundry. It's a country setting, so it's peaceful there. It's very inexpensive."

"Country Meadows Care Home is clean and friendly. They have good people. The dining setup is all good. They just need more caring people. It is hard to find caring people. "

"My mom has been in Divine Nest Assisted Living for a year now. We're happy with her care there, and she can stay there for as long as she wants on what level of care she needs. Her room is great, she has plenty of room, and it's her own room. The only thing my mom did not like is any profanity, and she's had a little bit of difficulty with the staff on that. She loves the food, and she thinks they eat too many meals. They don't have a huge staff and that's good for my mom because she doesn't remember some things, but there's a couple of things that she just adores. She's a little more involved with the activities now than when she started. My dad is the one paying the bill, and he's happy with the service she's getting."
