Independent Living Communities in Adrian, MI

"Brookhaven Manor was very inviting. Immediately, the people that lived there were very friendly to me. They said hello as I came into the building while I was waiting for the lady to come out to show me around. They were asking if there was any way they could help me, pointed me in the right direction, and were very kind. The lady who gave me the tour was super sweet, very nice, and very knowledgeable. It was beautiful. I saw them finishing lunch and everybody seemed happy. I did get to see their menu and it looked nice. They have so many things for people to do there. They have buses to take them. They'll go to Applebee's one day or the Texas Roadhouse or there's a pizza place nearby they like to go to and you sign up for those things. They have craft rooms where you can do all kinds of fun stuff. They have a beautiful collection of books in their library and lots of cozy places to sit or to have family parties. They have a birthday room where a family could come and have a party. It can open up and it can be people from the living place, too. It was very nice."

"I toured Genesis Village. I liked the lady who gave me the tour. She was nice. Her name was Elaine. I enjoyed the food and activities in the morning, and the rooms were nice. They have a washer and dryer, not inside the apartments, but on the floor. They have three meals a day."

"The staff at the American House Carpenter is fabulous. Some residents were very welcoming and gave their opinions on living there. This one is the most ideal location for us, and my former husband, who is the care recipient, felt good about it, which is the most important thing. I would certainly endorse it as the perfect place for him. It was wonderfully inviting and clean, it had a lot of activities, and he felt comfortable there. We visited for independent care, although we also asked about assisted living options. We're planning that he will need step-up care with his Parkinson's as the years go along, but we're starting with independent living."

"My mother-in-law is in Hampton Manor of Madison Township. We like the place. Everybody is really nice there and it's convenient for us. They're really good with her. She loves it there. The staff is very nice. They take care of the people. She loves the food. We're like, "Where were you at this time?" She goes, "We got to go down and we got to get ice cream." They have different kinds of activities for her. Some people go places and they go in groups. She tells us how much she likes it. She's very happy there. She's in a studio apartment. She pays for it and then she has money after, too."

"Stratford Place is where I am going. It is a nice place and offers a lot, like an exercise room, a library, a kitchen, a family room, a game room, and a lot of open ground. It is not crowded, and the price is very good because the population is not that big. Everything about it is better. There is a strip mall about half a block away. If you are independent, you can get out and walk to things right there without going too far. The downside part is you really don’t have a place of your own outdoors. There is outdoor patio, but you share it with other people. Other than that, it has everything, including a beauty parlor, laundry, and everything you'd want."

"My sister-in-law has moved into Otterbein SeniorLife Sunset Village. It was the only one that had the amenities that we were looking for. We were looking for assisted living that went into skilled nursing care at the same facility, and they had to revert from private pay to Medicaid, and it was the only one out of all the facilities that we looked at that would do that. Also, they took her because she had already been their patient in Monclova. It was very nice. It has independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing, and so it's all right there in one place, and it was good for that. They have a very nice campus. They have walking trails. Each separate offering is really on the same campus. In other words, independent living is separate from assisted living, and assisted living is separate from skilled nursing. My sister-in-law's room is a studio apartment. It has a bed area. There's space for sitting so she can sit, look out the window or talk on the phone or something. There is a kitchen area, and I use the term loosely because it has a half refrigerator, a sink, and a microwave. There are no other heating units in there, which is good for safety purposes. They have a dining room. They have a faux post office, if you will, where the residents could buy stamps and they had the mailboxes there and everything. They have an activity room that has a full kitchen and that is available for the residents if they want to bake a cake or something. At the end of each hall, they have a sitting area that is like a living room, and that is in addition to the lobby area. They have what they call ice cream social at least three times a week, and that is like a little café where they offer desserts. They have a laundry room on each floor that the residents can use to do their laundry, and there is no charge for that. The washing machines are free. We met the maintenance people, one of the nursing staff, and one of the activity people. We met a fair amount of them. They were good with the residents. I haven't participated in any activities, but they have two or more a day and they have outings where they can take the residents out."

"We went to see the Brooklyn Living Center. I liked it because it was a smaller facility, and it was very bright and cheerful. When we walked in, the residents were playing cornhole, and we all could tell they were really enjoying themselves. We got to tour the rooms. The staff was amazing and just super helpful. The manager, Amy, sat down with us for like an hour and talked to us about the facility. We actually put a deposit down on that place, but they don't have availability right now. So when it does become available, hopefully, we'll work out the finance. Down the road, if they needed help with reminders for medication, they offer all kinds of help, like with the laundry. I like the fact that they can put their trash outside their door, and they do the linens every two weeks. You could tell it was very well run. I would live there. The facilities were nice, the rooms were nice, and the dining area was lovely, open, and spacious. And they provide tons of activities daily."

"The Lakes of Sylvania is excellent and I like the staff's availability. The rooms were great, they're one of the few places where rooms were furnished. The dining area was very clean, nice and open. They had a ton of activities which is one of the things I like about it. They have people doing different kinds of things, like they have exercise and bingo available. What appealed to me was that if my dad wanted to do something there's something he can do with a group. Every day they also had a bus that goes offsite, like going to the grocery store of if you want to get out you'd be able to. I worked with Madison, and she was fabulous. So in comparison to other places I have visited, this place is way ahead."

"I toured Kingston Residence of Sylvania. They have somebody right there at the desk, and they are more than happy to help. Everybody seemed more at ease and peaceful. The rooms were very nice. The security and just the overall was very reassuring."

"I had an in-person tour of Brecon Village. I liked most of it. I can't think of anything that I really didn't like about it. There were a group of people that the staff took on a tour. It was an open house. The staff members were all very nice and helpful. The facilities were very good. It was a very nice layout. They had different layouts for the rooms. The main area was really nice. They had a library and a room with a lot of treadmills and other equipment in it."

"My mother lives in The Woodlands at Sunset House. She is in a two-bedroom, two-bath home with fireplace and cathedral ceilings. It is gorgeous. It's 2100 square feet and way more than she needs. They provide breakfast and dinner. There's a hairdresser on site while they bring in bookmobiles and local banks. They provide transportation to grocery stores every week and to and from doctor's appointments. My mother loves the food. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. There is a low turnover, with the exception of the young people that work in the dining room in the evenings since a lot of them are college students. The core staff is the same all the time. It is the most expensive in our community, but they do a good job. They have an activities director and they have movies twice a week, they bring in musicians, hold a cocktail hour every other Friday night, and trips to local restaurants or the theater. Pets are allowed, as many as you would like, as long as you are capable of taking care of them."

"I moved to Luther Haus, and so far I am very pleased. They're all nice and caring people. If they have a maintenance problem they take care of it right away. The atmosphere is very nice here. The staff is very friendly. They have activities in the community room, and the residents get together on their own. They have puzzle rooms and a lounge room where you can just sit and talk. I have seen other places that were quite a bit less expensive but this one has more to offer. It's all one level, and if you have a patio and everything like that, I assume that brings the cost up."
