The Best Independent Living Communities in Monroe County, MI

"I visited this facility last week and I was very pleased with cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. I am most definitely considering Assurance assisted living to help with my mom. I feel like she would be in great hands here. The one young lady Kiara was very sweet and answered all of my questions. She even was even open to some suggestions I made and said that she would consider accommodating them.Over all it was a pleasant visit and they are in my top 3."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"The lady at Brookwood Living Taylor was very nice, very knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. The facility would be perfect if it weren't for the cost. There, you would be in your own little home kind of thing, versus being in a hotel-like setting at the other facilities. But I have doctors' appointments, food, and other things to consider, so I can't do that. The size of the units is more than adequate. They're still in the process of building it though. There are still roads that aren't completed, and even units that aren't completed, but that's understandable because they're a new facility. The units looked nice, and the size was perfect. They even had a garage with them. They're also in the process of building their clubhouse. I wouldn't want a unit close to Goddard Road, but other than that, any of the other units would have been fine."

"The staff at StoryPoint Saline was friendly. The facilities were pleasant. It's what I would choose. The staff member there not only toured me to the building, but she also gave me some tips on moving and getting rid of things, which was very helpful. They invited me to come back for a meal along with my friend who accompanied me there, but I did not have time to do that. I especially like that they had their own staff. In a lot of these places, if you need help, you have to contract it through a different entity, and there, they have their own staff. The facilities, while they are not as new and shiny, were perfectly adequate."

"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 brother is in American House Westland Venoy. It is wonderful. The director there, Cindy, was awesome. She explained everything and showed us around. Everybody just seemed so nice there. So far, my brother likes it. The staff gave us options on what to expect and what different programs they have there. The size of his room is perfect. It has everything that he needs. It's got sliding glass doors to go out to his patio. I thought it was very nice. Everything looks clean and fresh. They have card games, bingo, arts and crafts, and entertainment."
