Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Wayne, MI

"I was very surprised with how big Oakwood Commons facilities were. They had different buildings and different floors for people of all medical backgrounds. There were some areas for people that were married, some for people that had a lot of memory problems, and areas for those who needed extra medical attention. The staff seemed nice enough, but not many were overly friendly or welcoming to me even though it was obvious I was not used to that kind of environment. The facilities were very clean, and they had cleaning men and women consistently coming in and out of rooms while I was visiting. The building themselves were very organized and there were lots of areas for the patients to socialize and interact and it seemed like many staff knew their patients in their area by name. Overall it was a pretty positive volunteering experience, and I learned a lot about what goes on in assisted living homes. "

"I moved to Victoria Square. I like that it's senior living, so you're dealing with just seniors. They have a great community where they do things in their lobby or a little get-together at certain times. I like that it's secured where you need a key or be buzzed in, and no one can walk into your building. I also like that, in senior living, they cap you at a certain amount depending on your status, as far as you can pay, so they can't increase your rent like if you were in a regular apartment. The staff is pleasant. They have bingo and programs. They keep the facility clean and have maintenance people come through. I like that they have garbage storage on each floor and make sure to clean them daily so you don't smell anything throughout the building. As for the value, it's average. It's not a bad price for what you're getting."

"Oakmont Northville was very nice and very clean. It had a lot of parking spaces. The people there were very happy. I didn’t see any shortcomings with the people and the appearance of the place. It was a very large place with a lot of residents, but my husband preferred a smaller place. Their activities were pretty good. They had a chapel and an exercise room."

"It's an excellent place. It's really good, no doubt. Fox Run Novi seems to be the best for me. The staff is caring, warm, and very friendly, and the place is nice and clean. It has all the amenities of an assisted living, and people are nice. They have a pool, a cafeteria, there's an exercise room, like a gym, and a gift shop. If you go there, you don't have to go anywhere else. Everything is there. You can do more of an inside walk because there are a lot of corridors. It's a very big facility. "

"It was very new, very clean, and full of amenities. The person who assisted me was great. "

"The Rivers Grosse Pointe was a nice place. The lady showed me one room, and it was nice. They have swimming and other recreation. They had enough amenities."

"My mother loves Waltonwood University. She loves the people, the environment, and the location. The staff is very friendly. She has a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment. They have dining, activities, trips, bus service, car service, laundry, beauty salon, activity center, library, and cafe. We chose it because of the location; it's close to our home. They provide two meals."

"I went to Hampton Manor of Clinton. It's new, and there are not a lot of people there too. The place is beautiful, and the staff from what I encountered was very nice. There are a lot of things about it I liked. That was a nice experience, they were very attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. The facility was very nice, I liked that everything was on one floor. They even have their little patios for a lot of the rooms. And right now, they're running the specials too, it's for six months. The rooms were nice-sized, and everybody has their own individual rooms. They're very caring, and I felt that they're concerned with my needs. The staff asked me a lot of questions and gave suggestions on how they could help. I liked her a lot. They showed the cafeteria, and everything was clean. They're not near capacity, and there weren't a lot of people there."
