"We went to American House Village at Bloomfield. It's a nice place, but it's not what we were looking for. The floor plan was a little small, but it was OK. They showed us the common areas and a one-bedroom apartment. The staff who assisted us and gave us the tour was very nice. The place was very clean."

"From the first time Mom visited American House in Farmington Hills, MI, Assistant Director, Lisa, made her feel welcome. When Mom moved into her apartment, her smile returned, her loneliness disappeared, her friendships flourished and she became a member of a very special family! During the time Mom lived there she was treated with kindness and respect by all members of the entire staff. The entire American House staff are truly amazing. We believe they are angels in disguise! I wouldn’t hesitate recommending American House in Farmington Hills! They will welcome your family member with open arms."

"I toured Magnolia by the Lakes. They were very nice, like a one-bedroom apartment, with beautiful decorations, nice kitchen cupboards, and everything you would need to stay for a couple of weeks or a month. They had a nice walk-in shower, you have the grab bars and everything that seniors need, very nicely appointed. The young man was very friendly. He did a great job. They have a pool and a lift that if someone has difficulty getting in the pool, then the lift can be used, and a nice dining area, just a very nice facility. It's very homey and it's designed like every one area is kind of like a European bistro kind of decoration and just very, very nice. The staff was enthusiastic and friendly."

"I am currently living at All Seasons West Bloomfield. The place is only 10 years old. It's been a very pleasant apartment. I don't partake in any activities. I am more of a recluse. But they have a pretty good chock full of activities. I feel okay here. I feel safe. I have dinner partners. The room is very adequate for a single person and I wouldn't need any more space."

"I liked that American House Stone is just one floor so my mother would not have to deal with any stairs or elevators and the price point was important to us. We were fortunate to be able to eat a meal there and my mother, who is very particular, enjoyed the food. There were a lot of options for her. If she didn't want somebody doing her laundry for her, they said that that was no problem and that she could do her own laundry. So, there were things like that, which made her feel more that she was living independently and not reliant on somebody else for everything, which was important to her. She didn't want to feel like she was giving up total control, and they were very willing to work with her on that. Everybody was very kind to us. This was the second time that some of us had visited there, and they remembered us from a previous visit, which was surprising even to remember the names. So, we're very pleased with how we were treated. They were friendly, helpful, and very kind. They even gave my mother a to-go container of more food, because she liked it so much. The facility was clean, but there were a few things that were dated or wear and tear, but nothing bad. The room that my mother is going to be moving into has a new carpet, new paint, and things like that. There were four of us that they served lunch to, and everyone was very pleased with the food."

"We toured American House The Village. It was a great tour. We get to see a lot of the facilities and the added activities. We liked the people there and the independent units. They were bright, cheerful, spacious, and bigger than what I had expected. The staff did a great job answering our questions and presenting things to us. We went through the dining room and watched people eat, but we didn't eat there. They have a top chef, so I assume the meals are good, and they allow us to have a pet."

"My sister has made a deposit and will be moving into American House Elmwood. The whole place was very clean. We chose it because it offered a very good-sized villa, which is independent living. She would prepare her own meals, so she did not get a meal plan. The staff who assisted us was excellent. They had a hair salon and a meeting room."

"I've moved into Rolling Hills Retirement Community. It's very well put together, very organized, and very clean. The food is very good. Good selections, too. They have a movie theater as well as different kinds of activities daily."

"Brookdale Farmington Hills is a lovely facility. It's well taken care of. I thought Nancy was charming and very informative, but financially, I don't need all the care they offer. I don't need somebody to cook my meals, clean my apartment, or do my laundry. They don't have what I need, but Nancy was just delightful. She was knowledgeable and personable. I liked the structure of the building. I thought the carpeting in the hallways could use a little attention, but besides that, everything looks lovely. I saw some residents sitting out in the lobby. I met a resident out on the ground. She was lovely, although she won't remember meeting me. She had Alzheimer's, really bad within the first few minutes of our conversation. The living room and kitchen were smaller, but the bedroom and the bathroom were a wonderful size. The kitchen had a small refrigerator and a small stove. There's no room for a microwave. You'd have to have a microwave cart or something, and I don't even know if there's more room for that, too."

"The rooms are clean, updated, bright and cheerful. Kitchenette includes a new microwave, refrigerator, sink and plenty of cupboards. Two large closets are more than enough for our mom’s clothes and books. All the rooms are fresh and newly renovated. The bathroom is spacious with a wonderful step in shower and plenty of room for shower chair if needed. There’s so many activities and every resident was so cheerful and happy. We met so many people the very first day. What a lovely and welcoming atmosphere. We had lunch there, and my husband cannot stop raving about his soup. They serve the residence three meals a day like they’re in a country club. I never see anyone alone. They’re always grouped together and very chatty. Lots of activities and the staff is so friendly and so welcoming. All the stress of moving our mom from her home to a smaller space is gone."

"I like the staff at American House Troy. They're nice to my mother and us as a family. They are very courteous and concerned. The rooms are nice and big enough for a walker or a wheelchair. Cleanliness is really good. The food delivery is good. The meals appear to be very good, too, nutritionally based. The residents get a choice. Every day they can choose between one item or another item and my mother seemed to like the food there. They have a beauty salon and a dining room. They offer transportation if you want to go to a doctor's appointment or shopping trips if you want to go to a Myers. They have entertainment that they bring in. They have games and a little community area where a lot of residents can work jigsaw puzzles. They have a medical team on staff as well. Rent is kind of high, but overall considering the rent in other places and for what you get, it's way more."

"I toured Elmhaven Manor. It's very clean, neat, and organized. I didn't spend a lot of time there. I didn't get the comfort feeling with that one as much. The hallways and stuff are nice. I didn't get to see the rooms and stuff, but just one apartment. So, it was a small one. It was just a small one-bedroom, and the kitchen was pretty small. It was not homie. A few people I met on the elevator weren't friendly, but that's the people though, you can't control that."

"The James Ferndale was very friendly. Everything was great. They were top-notch. It's luxurious because they have everything on site. It's perfect for somebody who has the finances. They had studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. We specifically looked at a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. The lady that was welcoming us was super friendly and very helpful. She gave us some coffee. If I would have had the finances, I would let my mom stay there. The dining area looks like a little restaurant. The service was good."
