"The Pointe at Pontiac was clean. The people were nice. It was accessible straight from the interstate. It was inviting, too. We were hopeful that we were going to get into that one, but we couldn't. The staff we met was exciting. They wanted to be there to work with the individuals. I thought they had done a great job from what we could see. We had applied to go to them, but they denied us because my mom would occasionally get a bladder infection, and she would also have some hallucinations, and they said that because of those, they wouldn't accept her."

"I liked Westminster Village a lot, but it was so big and so far to walk to everything. The staff was very nice, and everybody that we met said hello. It was nice. It was just too expensive and too far apart from everything. It was very spread out."

"We chose Washington Christian Village for my aunt because of the location and cost. It meets the needs and it's where we needed to be both cost wise and proximity to where all the family live. During Covid, they are offering meals in the dining room once a week and the rest of the week, the residents are eating in their rooms. They offer transportation to appointments, beauty shop, and activities. Everything is scaled back because of Covid. The cleaning, nursing, bathing, and dressing assistance were included in the price, instead of it being additional cost. She hasn't moved in yet, so from a residential standpoint, I don't know about that. The staff was very informational and very accommodating."
