Independent Living Communities in Dearborn, MI

"I like the location of Parkside of Livonia Senior Apartments, as well as the layout of the apartments here. The staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful. The meals are not included. However, there are days when groups of people order in and eat at the gathering and eat together. They have evening activities, card games, and there is an area where they have puzzles open and available to use. There are several TVs available to watch as a group in different areas. I appreciate the fact that there is some additional storage area for each unit. That is very nice. This place is a very good fit for me and the people are extremely helpful."

"I visited the American House Southgate's assisted living for my mother, and we have decided to have her move there. It was very nice, the staff was friendly, and it was very clean. They've also been extremely helpful in the entire process of us trying to get the apartment ready for my mom to move in. She will be moving into a two-bedroom apartment. The facility has a common dining room, a meeting hall, and an entertainment area in the lobby. On different floors, they have different community meeting places, a chapel, and a game room. We chose this place because of the location and the price. They were the most reasonably priced place for us."

"I toured American House Southland with a lady by the name of Colleen. She was very friendly and open to any questions I had. Compared to some of the other places, when you walk in, I feel like I'm home. The staff was very helpful. She took me around the place. I saw an apartment that was empty, and I got to see what the cafeteria looked like. The staff gave me a menu for the month of June to show me what they serve. It's different all the time, and you have a choice of two different entrees. At the other place, they just have one entree, but at American House Southland, they gave you a choice, which I thought was very nice. There is an area where they can go for movies. They have a library if you want to get books. She also mentioned that you can walk around the property, and they are going to have a small gazebo by the pond where the ducks swim. I just felt so much more comfortable there."

"We visited Westhaven Manor's independent living community for my mom. We took a tour from, I believe, the manager, and she was very nice. She gave us a tour of some of the units they have that were one-bedroom. There were two different layouts, and they were both nice. They had a beauty salon up in there, game rooms, and a movie theater, and it was all nice. I definitely want to put that on the list of places that I could stay at too. The living room was a decent size for a big screen TV, a couch or a love seat, and a coffee table in the middle. The kitchen was a good size too. It's even bigger than mine, so it was really nice. The bathroom was nice and also a good size. They had a closet and a pantry in there too, so it was pretty cool. The upkeep was nice. The landscaping and the yard work was lovely. It had flowers, and it was nice and peaceful. I didn't really see much staff, because it was more of an independent living place, so it was different. I didn't see any nurses, but the one lady we talked to was nice. I didn't see any dining area, so I think the residents would normally just cook for themselves. They said they go out to eat and stuff. I guess they have a bus and they put everybody who wants to go, and they went to places like Longhorn, which is cool."

"American House Livonia was very nice and clean. The only thing was it was not secure. I didn't get to see the rooms. I saw the outside, the living room, and I had a meeting with the coordinator. Once we got to talking and he realized what I needed, that I needed more of a secure place because father wandered off, he referred me to see some other places. The living room was nice. There was a table there for them so I got to see some of the residents and some were on the porch. There was no odor. I like the place. The coordinator was very informative and helpful."

"My mom has been here since April and for several months I was extremely happy with the facility, the staff was great when it came to the care of the residents. The only problem I had in the beginning was missing clothes and shoes. Recently the staff and administrators have changed and not for the better, I don’t understand why the change because the old staff was the best, no one is hardly available to address my concerns and the nursing staff is not as professional like the old staff which I wish could come back. At this point I’m looking for a new facility especially since they have increased their fees $200.00 and their services are no longer worth it. The only thing that is consistent from the time my mom moved in would be the activity director Bridgit, she is amazing and has my mother very active. It saddens me to see this beautiful place and staff in the beginning to change so drastically to the point I’m removing my mother from her comfort zone but I can’t keep her there. We had a life scare and Jatonya noticed she wasn’t breathing right called ems which I was told had it been any later she wouldn’t be here today. She is no longer there and that’s sad she was excellent at her job and I don’t feel this new staff are as attentive as the old staff, while I visit no one comes and check on her which they never know when we visit for this unhappiness I feel now she’s going to leave as soon as I find another happy place. I’m so sad to do this to my mom but the only thing to keep her there would be to return the old staff completely"

"I toured American House Westland Hunter. What I liked about it was that it was so clean, and the staff was wonderful. Everything was nice, so I didn't have any bad things to say about that place. I saw a one-bedroom apartment."

"We really liked the Bellaire Senior Living. It was just a little further out. The staff was very friendly and nice, but I didn't see any other African-American resident because I like a well-rounded place, a little bit of everybody. The rooms were very nice. They have studio and one-bedrooms, but the only thing they had available was the studio. They had a TV room where they do games and stuff like that. I had no complaints."

"I have a couple of friends there at Ashford Court. I'm also going to go into a studio there. It's pretty much just one room with a bathroom. I've their dining room and the main room when you walk in, they do entertainment. The staff members are all friendly. In terms of cleanliness, it's very clean."

"The James Ferndale was very friendly. Everything was great. They were top-notch. It's luxurious because they have everything on site. It's perfect for somebody who has the finances. They had studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. We specifically looked at a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. The lady that was welcoming us was super friendly and very helpful. She gave us some coffee. If I would have had the finances, I would let my mom stay there. The dining area looks like a little restaurant. The service was good."

"American House Riverview was nice. It's the independent living that I'm trying to go into. There were residents in wheelchairs and residents walking around. It's clean. The staff who assisted me was a nice lady. I called last minute, and she was able to squeeze me in a time to accommodate me. She told me beforehand that there were people that she would be assisting on a tour already, but she was able to give me a spot. The staff was able to answer my questions and give me a tour."

"My review of the facility is high. Cost is rather high but knowing mom is in good hands makes it worthwhile. My suggestion is if you have or see a problem, speak to someone immediately. They will deal with or correct problem quickly. Staff r efficient and friendly and treat the residents as part of their own family. If u have a special need or maybe just want a special treat, just ask. Staff will do all they can to accommodate you. Cannot say enough thank yous to Staff at this facility for their care of mom."

"We chose American House Westland Joy for my parents. It's independent living, but we can purchase additional care for them as needed. It's kind of a la carte. Based on what I've seen so far, I would probably give them five stars just for their customer service, their kindness, their flexibility, and their willingness to work with us on move-in dates and the particulars of our needs. One of the things that I liked about American House was the size of the rooms. I had looked at some other assisted living rooms and the rooms were much smaller and didn't have a full kitchen, which my parents can still use. I liked that there's a kitchen, there's a place where they can have a table, a stove, and a refrigerator. The apartments are updated with nice flooring and a little bit more updated cabinets. The apartments themselves were nice. They had lunch for us and my parents loved it. They thought it was delicious. I had some soup myself and I thought it was delicious as well. They gave me an activity calendar. They have a lot of activities at the facility. One night when I had stopped in to visit, they were having a holiday party and they had it very nicely set up with music. There were lots of families there with the residents. That was nice to see as well. The prices are what made me choose them overall."
