The Best Independent Living Communities in Monroe County, MI

"My aunt will be moving into Hampton Manor of Trenton. When I went there, they had the rooms staged, like a bed and a table. Cable is free and all that stuff. They do everything for one price. It's all on one floor. It's more convenient than the other place. Everything was just nice. I would tell my kids to put me there if I had to go to a nursing home. They have a warm breakfast. You have more options for your loved one. It was very good, well-run and very clean. It's a newer place, so it's going to look a lot nicer. The staff was excellent. Their kitchen and their cafeterias are five. They do lots of activities for the elderly people. The doors lock automatically, so the dementia people can't get out."

"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."

"Genesis Village was okay, but it was a lot of walking. I'm not a walker, and we had to stop a couple of places, but the staff was trying to show me everything. She was very knowledgeable. They had a pool and three different arts and crafts rooms. The rooms were apartment-sized. They were smaller, but you had a little stove. The staff wasn't as outgoing as the other one, but I felt more comfortable with her. They had a lot of parking, too."

"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 toured Brookwood Living - Taylor. They are simply beautiful. They're gorgeous. It would be a nice place. There is nothing I can say that is wrong with them, other than the fact that I can't afford them. All you had to do was pack your suitcase and move in. Everything is in there. Everything was top quality, beautiful appliances, gorgeous finishes, and a beautiful kitchen. The only problem with the whole place was the price. They had an extra maid service and community rooms you could rent out. The person who took the tour was a delight. She was a young girl."

"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."
