Assisted Living Communities in Tecumseh, MI

"About four years ago I started looking for a place for my mom. The facility fit her very nicely. It had a more modern look for her and everyone was very nice. The activities, food and staff was a good fit. If I had any questions they were addressed promptly. What I liked the most is I could come and go whenever I wanted. This was her home with no "visiting" times. As time went by I felt like part of a larger family. Another difference was having college students who came in to volunteer with the residents and all the outside musical groups that would perform for all. It was a very good choice for our family. I would highly recommend University Living. "

"I did a tour of American House Carpenter. The staff was really knowledgeable, super friendly, and helpful. The rooms were OK. I knew they were there remodeling the main part, but I don't think they're remodeling the rooms. The rooms I would probably rate a four. I thought they could use a little brightening up, but I don't know if they were going to be working on rooms as well. They were just kind of working on the main area at the time. The maintenance and upkeep were good. There were some noises from the remodeling, but the main area looked really nice. The dining area is also very nice. I thought that it was bright and inviting. They were actually doing a Christmas activitiy; they had somebody coming in and doing music. Everybody was out listening to the music and kind of singing along with Christmas music; it was great."

"Wonderful place all around!! My mom recently transitioned from assisted living to memory care and the staff has been amazing on all levels. It has been such a blessing knowing that she is not only safe and cared for, but they work exceptionally hard to keep residents engaged. Skilled nurses, resident aides, dining staff, kitchen staff, activities directors, front desk staff, sales director, and executive director.....they are all lovely people that care for their residents just as if they were family. I highly recommend Aspen Grove!!! "

"My mother was at OHM for a couple months maybe 3 Up to Sept 1 2016. We felt safe with her care there, The following are pros and cons: The owner wants to keep all unused rent if the patient passes away which to me is pure selfish and criminal, In other words Big places do not do this and will refund 100% of unused rent if the patient passes away. For example,If a full month of rent is paid on March 1st for the month of March, and your parent passes away on March 2, the owner will try to keep all of the rest of March's rent since it is inside the 30 days. That means a new patient will or can be taking over in the same bedroom for the rest of the month while owner receives DOUBLE rent for the same bedroom. Also when we talked to the owner about us moving out, the main focus of owner was all about making sure we pay for the 30 days after the move out notice.. That mattered more than finding out what can be done to accommodate our mother more. The food from what I understand was nothing special, I don't believe the clients were given a choice of meals. Maybe a choice would be too costly and inconvenient for the staff and owner. Overall the care was good and my mother with Alzheimer's seemed satisfied . The house was always very clean and visiting was as convenient as can be expected, The staff seemed very dedicated to providing personal care from what I could tell. The financial cost per month could not be beat from our shopping around. "

"We're leaning towards The Grove at Oakleaf Village for my mother. We liked the appearance, they have 4 separate levels depending on the level of dementia, that they call neighborhoods, which are 10 or 12 units, or little apartments in each neighborhood. We liked that. We were able to see the one level, where the residents could still communicate over lunch, and a woman commented that the food was very good. The other thing we liked was the admissions person said that they pay their staff well and with good benefits, so they had less turnovers. They don't tend to use contract employees, temporary employees, so there's continuity of care. They have craft type things, they bring in people for entertainment, they try to engage them in things to stimulate their memory. They also have chair side exercises. The dining area looked contemporary with one big table with 10 or 12 people around it, they have 3 meals a day, and unlimited snacks and beverages."

"Vibrant Life Superior Township was quite nice. The people that I met there and the people that I talked to were very kind and very helpful. I visited the memory care and it was clean and pleasant. It looked like the residents were well taken care of. It has a nice outdoor courtyard. The gentleman that is in charge was very kind and very nice. It was not the most updated/modern facility, but it was nice."

"I toured Vibrant Life Temperance. It was clean and organized, giving off a warm feeling. It's a little like a dormer. They have a bed, a closet, a TV, and a chair, just like a hotel room. I've been working with Nick, and he was good. They can go outside on the deck, and there's a lot for them to do besides sitting in the building. The facility has a little pond with seating and chairs, making it really nice, and they're served three meals a day."

"It is the only place I visited so far. The staff was great. We had a pre-tour visit, and that was great. Then looking around in the place up in the assisted living section, they're absolutely beautiful. Plenty of room. It was great. The only downside, at least for me personally, is that it's too far from home because I lived down on the south edge of Toledo, almost in Maumee, so that's just too far to schlep. There's a bunch of amenities available, and what I was pretty impressed with is their exercise room, it has some pretty decent equipment and it's available all the time. Their dining selections are really good, too. You can sort of rotate around for what you want instead of what the chef decides you need or want, and that was quite impressive. The suite was beautiful, the single bedroom, was beautiful, and I wouldn't mind living there myself. When I got there, I didn't have a chance to do sample their meals, but I looked at their schedules and menus and things like that. They gave me a copy of it; they gave me plenty of information. I met one of the nurses and three of the aides and they were just great."

"I did a tour of Lakeside Assurance Assisted Living. It was a private residence converted into a facility. It has a total of four residents; there were two that were there and there were two open rooms. It was laid out well for a conversion, and it had a common area that was set up that was very roomy. The facility was laid out nicely. There was a part of the facility that was still being developed into a guest room that was under development, but the rest of the place was set up nicely. It was very clean, and it had a cook that prepared the meals, taking into consideration dietary requirements. The administrator that we met with, Brenda, was very detailed in explaining why she started the facility. Her mother had dementia, and she was struggling with having her in a big facility. She decided to develop this, so she would know about her mother's care and everything. She had a connection with a physician and a podiatrist who would visit regularly. The meals and the laundry in the room are all included. Then it would accommodate my sister's furniture, so that was nice. I think she had to have familiar surroundings. I think they could accommodate both assisted living and memory care, but right at that time, it seemed like the residents that were there were dementia patients. We only met with Brenda, and she's seemed very compassionate, caring, and concerned about details about my sister. What kind of activity level she was? Is she verbal at all? Did she interact with people? I thought that was very positive. I think she would be engaged with my sister. It's still under construction partially, but the part that we saw, she set it up very specific to taking care of the residents."

"My mom is at Countryside Retirement Community. They send a newsletter every week for new updates, but other than that, it's really been kind of tough as far as having visitors because we can't go there. My suggestion would be that with COVID, more communication would be better. The staff has been good and they've been helpful. The building looks modern. There's actually a bunch of them, it's not just one, it's like a whole city block of buildings. They have an activity room."

"I thought the Cambrian was nice. They had a lot of meeting areas. It seemed like every corner had a living room type area for family to meet. I thought the rooms were a little expensive. They had a nurse on staff which was nice, and one gentleman took me on a really nice tour of the facility. Probably the biggest thing about it was I thought it was kind of pricey. My son-in-law’s grandmother who was there did not like it but that does not mean my dad would not like it as well if he was to live there. The staff was very accommodating. Everything but the price was good. "

"Tecumseh Place is small, and it has a five to one patient to employee ratio, so there's plenty of staff there. Although the cost is not cheap, my father-in-law would be able to stay there until he dies. I'm not familiar with the activities, but they are trying to find out what activities interest him. His room has a single bed, a really nice La-Z-Boy, a dresser, and a big TV."
