Independent Living Communities in East China, MI

"The apartments are very nice, spacious. The buildings cleanliness is deserves a rating of 5 stars. The balcony is small ,but great for small number of plants. The manager Jean was easy to talk too and very polite, very informative about the senior apartment facility; as well as the receptionist was very friendly and courteous. I will continue to look for apartment that is one unit or private entrance ; The high rise apartment I feel it not the type of apartment I need at this point in my life. THANK YOU"

"My father and stepmother are residents at StoryPoint Clinton Township. My father is in assisted living and my stepmother is in memory care but they're across the hall from each other so he can go visit her anytime he wants and the staff has been wonderful with the whole process. The staff made the transition very smooth. My dad was already in a smaller assisted living facility, but it could not accommodate the two of them living together, so they moved into StoryPoint together. The staff was very aware and very informative on how my stepmom was doing and what her care needs should be and going through that transition because she was living at home. They're so forthcoming and so helpful and helping guide us in the best way to make sure that she's cared for. They've given my father wonderful care. The wellness director there has been fantastic. She responds, she's always there, no matter what I need, she is very quick to respond, even the biggest or smallest things, she's been so helpful and so caring. It's not what I've experienced at other places. It's phenomenal. All the med techs and the certified nurse assistants that I see because it's 24 hours have all been wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better fit for both of them. The rooms are very nice. They had been in a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. It's a brand new facility, so everything was very nice, but because my dad sleeps in his lift chair, he doesn't need the bedroom. They said if she's going to move over to memory care, there's no need for him to have all this space unnecessarily because you're essentially paying more money for a room that he never goes into. He's also not mobile, so that adds another layer of extra care that he needs, so we moved him over to a smaller apartment. When it was time for my dad's wife to move over to memory care, they moved all of her furniture for us and got her moved in over there. They knew how to handle the situation in the best way. They moved beds and everything. They just have gone above and beyond. It's only been open a year. It's really nice, neat, clean, well decorated, and spacious. They have musical performers at least once a week. He doesn't really go to the other activities because of his limited mobility, but they always come down and ask him. It has been much a much better food experience than where he was before. Where he was before, he would oftentimes have digestive issues and that has not been a problem here. They have a daily menu and each day it's different. They get a lot of options and then if they don't want that, there are more options for them. There's always something going on because I'm also on their Facebook page and they invited me to some other social media pages, so I can know about the activity. If my dad maybe doesn't want to go or doesn't remember, I'm able to tell him. They're both very well cared for. It's been a good solution for all that they're going through. I think it's worth every penny."

"My mom moved into Vista Springs Washington Place. It's beautiful, the ratio is five citizens to one caretaker. It's very clean. They go out of their way to individualize the care for each of the members that are there. It's very well taken care of. Her room is very roomy. We got to bring in her furniture to make it individualized to what her needs are. It's gorgeous. It's very well taken care of. Her room is very roomy. They have a family dining room. They have a barbershop. They also have two four seasons rooms. They have an outdoor pavilion so families can meet outdoors."

"We went to Baldwin House Senior Living Lakeside. It was very nice. We liked it a lot. It was nothing like the other ones. It was like an apartment feeling. They had walk-in closets and a walk-in pantry. We wish my mother-in-law would have gone with us. The staff member who showed us around was really nice and very informative. Everything looked clean. The cafeteria was nice. She showed us both the one-bedroom and the two-bedroom, and they were both nice. There was a lot of space in the kitchen and living room, and a lot of cupboard space."

"The things I like best about Villa Bella of Clinton Township are the size of the rooms and the cost, which is important to me. The VA is going to pay for a big part of the cost, but I still have to pay for some of it. They also have three meals a day. I enjoyed the meal that I had there, it was good. The staff members I met during the visit were nice and friendly. They were patient when I had a hard time walking."

"My father-in-law is a resident of The Pines Senior Living. The place has a studio, is spacious, and has an administrator who can get things going and make things happen. The food is okay, and the place is pretty clean. The size of his room might be around 900 square feet. He has a small kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a decent-sized bathroom. The dining area is spacious."

"Shorehaven, Heather the director and staff have been great to my Mother, just the kind of place I was looking for and thank God I found it. This place is just like family."

"My wife and I moved here six months ago after a through search on the east side..we are 100% satisfied here and happy to be here. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Lucy was particularly helpful, a joy to see every day. I must also mention Shawn and Matt who helped us with our apartment. We highly recommend this facility!!!"

"We liked Pine Ridge of Garfield. The rooms were nice, and the food was great there. They had a stove, but the only thing I don't like is that I would like a washer and dryer in my room instead of sending out the laundry. The staff was very nice. The food was very good. They had a little garden and a patio that you could go out."

"I visited American House East II for my mom. It's for enhanced independent living. They serve the residents three meals a day, and they have daily housekeeping daily. They all have walk-in tubs, which is something she really needed. She liked the facilities and the other services that they have to offer if needed. The staff members who assisted me during the tour were very nice and very friendly. They answered the questions that my mom had, and they showed her three different apartments that were available."

"My mother has moved into Cranberry Park at ShorePointe. The staff is very friendly, compassionate, and professional and has been since the day we walked in the door. They checked all the boxes for us. We looked at a lot of facilities, and this is a facility that just felt like home and had a very professional yet very kind staff. They have activities, three meals, and a full medical staff because they're connected with the rehab facility and skilled nursing facility, so that's a good asset as well."

"I toured American House East I. I was impressed, and it was more impressive than the other 2 places I went to. I'm still waiting for an opening there. When I drove up, it looked like a very nice campus. The buildings were spread around, the lawns were mowed. There wasn't a lot of commotion outside or anything, so The outside looked good. And then when I went on the inside, it was huge inside, different places like a gym, and a dining room. The staff was excellent, a professional lady, worked with me very well, and she's very impressive. There are a lot of activities going around. I just wish I was living there right now so I can get involved and all that. They put the groups together and they talked about different things about aging, or they talked about exercises to do, to make you feel better."

"I went to American House East I. I liked everything about it. It was quiet. It was very clean. The people were friendly. When I went in, the seniors there were very friendly, and it made you feel comfortable when you walked through the door. I didn't know exactly where I was going and they assisted like, hey, go around there, see such and such and everything. So that right there walking through the door helped me feel a little more comfortable. In the quarters themselves, the living quarters, I went in, they were very clean. It was nice and spacious, exactly what a person would want. The first place I went, the person was wonderful. And the second place I went, the person was wonderful. She took me all through and showed me everything. They were very thorough in their job and they explained and answered my questions and shared things about the facility that I would need to know if I were to move in. So they were excellent in both locations. I was very, very, very impressed. It was very clean. That's the first thing that I recognized going in. I was looking around. It was very, very clean and each building was very clean. The first building was extremely clean."

"Greystone was adequate and pleasant. The staff was efficient. The patients seemed contented. "
