The Best Independent Living Communities in Kalamazoo County, MI

"The apartments in assisted living are the perfect size for living and adding personal touches. There’s a sink, mini fridge and separate bathroom and wall mounted tv with cable. Meals are served in a central location or in the room depending on preference. Breakfasts get rave reviews and the choice or two entrees provides for individual choice. The CNAs and med techs are well trained, knowledgeable and responsive to their community. Story Points wellness director should be cloned. She knows the residents needs, their families and keeps family members informed and up to date with their loved one and the facility. Our family member has thanked us on several occasions for securing his safe space in the Story Point community. I can think of no higher praise than that."

"Friendship Village Kalamazoo is a big complex. They have a beautiful fitness center with a full-time fitness trainer, a nice library, a nice, beautiful dining room with nice tablecloths and flowers on the dining room tables, an art gallery, and there are patches for people who want to garden. They also have walking trails. They have apartments and also garden homes for people who want individual homes. We were pleased with the people who worked there and are living there. The staff was friendly, helpful, and cooperative."

"The caregivers at Storypoint Kalamazoo are wonderful! They truly care for my mother and her well-being. They are friendly, kind, and ensure that she is being well cared for. The management staff at Storypoint are also excellent. Laurie, the Executive Director, is always very responsive to any and all needs/concerns that we have. It is very difficult moving a loved one from their home to an assisted living facility. Storypoint has made that transition easier and has given us confidence that she is in the right place."

"My friend moved to Centre Meadows which is a 55 and older apartment complex. I like the location the best. The least would be the lack of staff communication. They offer food drop-off five days a week, Monday through Friday. They do cookouts and they have luncheons (it's mostly female there and he's male). They also have a movie theater, hair salon, a game room that has a pool table, and a fitness room. So, it's an excellent value for the money."

"My husband will be moving to Blueberry Hill Assisted Living. We had a very nice tour of the place, and the staff was very nice and informative. They also have lots of things for the residents to get involved in. I don't think the assisted living room we saw was the largest, but there was nothing wrong with it. The upkeep of the place was very good, too. We went through the dining area, and it was very clean."

"We did a tour of Heritage Community of Kalamazoo. I liked that the staff was readily available to explain how a continuum of care investment was a good fit for our family. They have a lot of dining options and socially active living for independent living to support long-term care, and for healthier living for as long as possible. I have tried the food and it's very delicious. The place is immaculate."
