Independent Living Communities in Midland, MI

"My father was a resident at IV in Michigan during this awful pandemic. I live in Georgia and was not able to visit in person. One particular member of the staff on more than one occasion assisted with a video chat with my dad and that really helped me deal with not being able to visit in person. I joined the Facebook group for IV and saw that they were always doing special themes of the day to keep the residents engaged. I could tell by the pictures the residents loved it. The only other feedback I can give was that everyone I talked to in my family told me how great the people were and how attentive to his needs they were. My Dad did say that he liked the food much more than the two other places he was at (one in Florida and one in Michigan before he got into IV)."

"We toured the building of Swanhaven Manor and they took us through all the things that they do and have out there. It's very, very, nice. I thought that was a good deal. It's just kind of far out of town, and I don't have a ride for my different appointments. I don't know if my insurance will give me a ride or how I will do that, but I like the facility. I would have moved there in a minute. The facility was super great. I told them that I couldn't go upstairs, so I needed a level apartment and they were going to check for me. They were just really super. We had a lot of fun touring and having little nibbles of cupcakes and different things. It was nice. It was good. The people there were all nice, too. They all came up to me and said hi and were pleasant. They had a frozen cart for frozen drinks, like frozen Coca-Cola and different things like that that you could get. Then they had a nice hairdresser place. Everything was really good. I saw the snack bar, which is in a different area, and what you do is go in there, they have sandwiches and soups and different things that you can purchase if you like, and take to your room. Then they have a person that comes to your room twice a week or something like that and cleans. So, that was nice."

"We had a physical tour and I liked it. It's a wonderful place. They did really good. The staff was great. She gave us lots of information. She followed up with us. Then she had a bigger apartment come available, so she called my dad to see if we wanted to come and see that one. She gave him lunch there. It was really good. The bigger room had a full kitchen. The dining area was more like a restaurant. There were lots of tables."

"Washington Wood had pretty much everything that my parents needed. They have a beauty salon, and a place where they can get labs. They can eat food in one of the restaurants or in their own place. They have different sized apartments, they have laundry rooms on the same floors, and elevators. It was a really nice setup. Everything they wanted was right there for them. The staff seemed very nice and friendly. They have people that go around and check on you. They'll call you a couple of times and if you don't answer they'll come and check on you. There's a maintenance guy that will come and do things for you too."

"Riverside Place Senior Citizen is magnificent. It's right next to a river, and there's a trail that you can use, so that's the outside and it's wonderful. And then the inside is always clean and nice. I can't say enough good things. The staff are very busy. They have their jobs. I've used the maintenance man a couple of times, and he's very efficient. Everybody does what they're supposed to do. In terms of activities, right now, they're announcing that there's a big band set at 5:00. There are way too many different activities. Today they had two afternoon activities. There's more but I don't do like the pool, shuffleboard, cornhole, or bocce. But I do exercise on Tuesday and Thursday. It's a gentle exercise where you sit in chairs and it's fun. It's a great place for a bunch of old ladies that sit and do all the exercises. There are too many exercises to do actually. I'm only in my apartment a few hours a day, otherwise, there's something to do. Food would be the one drawback. They're cafeteria food when you were in college. They cater to your table, and it's called gourmet dining, but I don't know about how gourmet it is. They have white tablecloths on tables, and it is fancy, but the food is mass-produced. It's not your mom's home cooking. It was hard for me at first to get used to that. And then people that have been here longer say, 'You get what you get and don't throw a fit,' and so okay, that's what I'll do. It's not the cheapest one that we checked into, but it's about the right price. It's the market price for what my rent would be. "
