Assisted Living Communities in Twin Lake, MI

"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."

"American House Spring Lake was nice. It had a two-bedroom-two-bathroom that it could have gotten there, but the view out the window kind of turned me off because it was overlooking the parking lot. I don't want to spend my days looking at a parking lot. The apartment itself was great, but the view was horrible. The person I spoke with was very patient because I don't move fast because I use a walker. She was very patient and very thorough about what was available. I got the chance to see most of the facilities, and they seemed to be nice. Everything looked good. She had put some effort into my visit to the point that she had a little gift bag for me with some stuff in it. I saw the weight room, and they had a laundry service, too."

"Excellent care, and good communication with family. Compassionate staff. We would recommend in the future."

"I called here two days ago and talked with April and found her to be informative and helpful. Although your apartments are not section 8 or Humana friendly, and I am not able to proceed. I can tell just by speaking with April that she did not judge me for my mother's current situation of homelessness and she was nothing but compassionate and listened to me and even though she doesn't know this but my day was made a little better now because of her. If I'm ever able to refer anyone that can afford those prices I will consider The Oaks."

"I've only been in Harbor Terrace Senior Living for a couple of months now. I'm in assisted living and there are some shortcomings. The food is the only thing in the institution that I'd rate as 5. I'm getting three meals a day. I go to the dining room and the food is good. There's a good variety and you have a lot of choices. As far as housekeeping, it's poor. I've been here two months and my apartment has been vacuumed maybe once, and that's about it. The bathrooms are clean. I think they've been cleaned maybe once every week or two. Laundry is done on demand. The laundry is labeled, but I quite often lose things in the laundry. I never get them back. The staff is good. They try hard, but sometimes they're overworked with other residents, which can happen in a facility like this. When I need help, I have to wait an extremely long time. There's no call for emergencies. There's a call light in the bathroom or by the bed for an emergency for a fall. Otherwise, if I were to fall in the building or anywhere, there's no call for emergency. I could lay there for a while before somebody found me. I am in a one-room apartment. There's no kitchen, just a microwave. There's a bathroom, a large bedroom, and a seating area in the bedroom. The amenities and activities are good. It is new. Everything is brand new. The rent is a lot higher than independent living, which is understandable, but for what I'm getting for the extra money as far as assisted living, it's just barely making it. I don't think it's worth it. I'm not getting that much assisted living for the extra cost. We're established on a lake, so it's a very nice outdoor view and you can go out and ride large boats because we're right on the Great Lakes right near Lake Michigan. They have their own dock and they'll have fishing if you're interested. There's a lot to do and they do transportation for you to participate. They'll have a bus trip just around the lake or just to enjoy the outdoors."

"Christian Care is very nice and clean. The staff members who I met and talked to were all nice. They had a game room where they can do bingo, puzzles together, and play cards. They keep the residents busy. They also have a nice, clean laundry area. The room is freshly painted, nice, and clean. The carpeting looks new, too. The bedroom, living room, and dining room are all in one room."

"I am a former Army medic - I have seen good caregivers and these guys are SUPER great. I worked at an Army hospital and I know when people do not like caring for people. These people are very nice and they make my mom very comfortable - and me and my Aunt and Uncle and sister as well. It live in a big city where bad stuff happens - I thank God she’s there and not a big city place where people can be quite mean sometimes. They are all Very patient with my mom and sincere. VERY thankful she is there."

"As we walked into the door at The Cove at Lake Woods-Muskegon, the staff was really helpful and friendly. They give us directions on how to get down to the administrator's office. So, that was impressive. Then the coordinator that you spoke to was just outstanding. As we walked the entire length of the facility, we were impressed with the cleanliness, the attentiveness of the staff, and the demeanor of the residents. It seemed like everybody was well taken care of. I didn't see or detect anything that would tell me otherwise. I also like that everything has secure locks on every door. So overall, we were very impressed with this place and if anybody is considering that facility, I would highly recommend it. I didn't get a sense of lack of care in this facility, so I was quite impressed with it."

"My dad is at Seminole Shores Assisted Living. He chose this place because he liked the environment and its size. Most of the places that we saw were smaller. He didn't want that. He wanted a place with more people. The amenities were good and the price was good. It seems clean. I was happy with that. They have activities. They have bingo, live music, and different communal activities. There's different religious services and all different activities on different days. Everyone has been friendly and helpful."

"The minute we walked in the door at Day Spring Services, it just felt very warm, very comfortable, and very homey. The administrator who did our tour was very thorough and very kind. We could tell that the people who lived there, the residents liked it there. The staff seemed to have a heart for them and just took very good care of them. The building was very, very nice. The person who toured me around was wonderful, she knew what she was doing. The first thing she said was, "Tell me about your uncle." We were just very impressed that she cared about him and his needs. Her name was Shelly, and she actually took us through the whole thing, we just needed assisted living. They have a big courtyard, it's all gated and it was very secure. So we would feel very comfortable with him being there."

"Fountainview Retirement Village of Fremont is a 20-unit facility. They have an excellent staff to resident ratio, and they were friendly. Their amenities were pretty average for its size. They have a nice outdoor area for such a small facility. It just felt a bit crowded. All it takes is a few residents to be out and about. They have narrow hallways and the inside was a bit not in a good condition. It's an older building, but I think the big plus there was the staff, including the ratio of staff to residents, and their teamwork and enthusiasm. I think part of it was it's not a very big staff, so you get to know everybody."

"My mom has moved to Green Acres of Fremont because of the location. The establishment was clean, clean-smelling, and inviting. Everybody I talked to was knowledgeable and friendly. They have a lot of activities that I think my mom would like to have in her daily routine. The staff that gave me the tour was good. Marcy was great. They run a nice and friendly atmosphere. Every single person that I met was friendly, forthcoming, and smiling. They just seemed to be nice people. I looked at the room, which was spacious and clean. It looked really nice. As far as the food, I didn't try it. I did go into the kitchen, while some of the other patients or family members were enjoying a meal. It was all nice. It didn't feel like a cattle herd, and it didn't feel like it was militarily regimented. It was all friendly, nice, and easy. There was a lot of space and freedom. It was all good. They have a game room with certain games set up. They also have memory games, where they play trivia stuff. It is easy trivia, but enough to keep people occupied. They have a TV room, where they certainly have nice cushy chairs and TVs to watch. They have their weekly socials, like ice cream socials. The staff that gave the tour was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and caring. She listened with empathy. She didn't just check, check, check the boxes. There was a lot of pertinent questions that she was asking that applied really well."
