The Best Communities in Ottawa County, MI

"Rivertown Ridge was a nice place, but I'm not into the position where I need to be looked after. It really wouldn't do me any good to be there. I'm pretty active myself. It was a very clean place, and the staff was very friendly. It's a good layout. They got assisted living on one side, and they have your independent living on the other."

"It was very nice. I was looking for a senior housing at the time. The people were very nice and very helpful. However, it did not fit what I was looking for at all."

"StoryPoint is an amazing community with an incredibly kind and attentive staff. The building is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. My family member feels safe, happy, and at home here. I’m so grateful for the care and compassion the staff shows for all of their residents."

"Byron Center Manor looked very nice. The people were friendly. They have nice rooms. The dining area was nice and clean too."

"Room is ok Food selection could have more options Staff is good"

"As a healthcare professional I have been working with the staff at Addington Place for many years. Nestled off the road many would not know this great facility is even there. The staff truly cares about the well-being of their residents and wants to make a difference in their lives. It is a great place to consider if you are looking for a home like environment for your loved one. "

"I visited. The staff was very helpful, she took me to their newly renovated dining area, and the core part of the building. She did a beautiful job at showing me the facility. It was wonderful to see her greet people by name, so it seems like they knew their residents quite well."

"My Mom is really enjoying living at StoryPoint Forest Hills. She has a nice, comfortable room with a pretty view, and enjoys the food and many activities a lot. But, the best thing is definitely the people. The management, the front desk, the food service, the care technicians, as well as the people who clean and fix things - everyone is so capable and very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Mom feels like this is home and we are so grateful knowing she is taken care of so well."

"My mom lives in independent living and constantly tells me how happy she is with her decision to make Cascade Trails her home. She loves inviting family and friends over to show off her home and introduce them to the wonderful staff and residents."

"The cross-country move for both my parents -- from their own home in Georgia to StoryPoint Rockford in Michigan -- was a very difficult one. My mother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and though we suspected my father's cognitive decline, my brother and I were unaware of the extent of his own dementia. Kim, Jenni, and Kathy were instrumental in my brother and me being able to move them. From my brother's and my first visit and tour of StoryPoint Rockford, we were aware of just how much the staff truly cared not only for the residents, but also for the residents' families. My parents have lived in the Memory Care Neighborhood for 18 months now. Every staff member knows -- truly KNOWS -- my parents. They know them so well that, when my father refers to "The Admiral," they know where he thinks he is, and they know enough to be able to converse with my father about the Admiral. They love my parents, truly love them. When the staff learned that my mother's recent terminal diagnosis, they cried. To a person, they spoke to me about how much they love my mom's "sass," how sad they were to learn of her current situation, how will each of them is to ensure that my mother is as comfortable as she can be. I know my parents, despite their physical and cognitive declines, are safe and comfortable. I am thankful every day that my parents are at StoryPoint Rockford. Without a doubt, regardless of expense, StoryPoint Rockford is the best, most effective, most caring environment and home for my parents."

"I would say Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community was tired, but they're trying to update it. The rooms were off putting a little bit because it's a bit older. The staff was absolutely top-notch. The desire to serve was there, and you could feel it. There was such a very strong sense of community among the staff and the residents. They were trying to update the atmosphere of the dining place. The staff was so fabulous that they compensated for the tiredness of the place."

"We chose Legacies Village for my mother. I felt like she would be comfortable there, and the people seemed really nice. The staff was fine. They answered all the questions. We had one meal, and it was good, and they offered different options. The amenities were good, and the rooms were clean. The staff at all of the ones we visited were great. We just basically went with the size."

"My parents moved to the Royal Atrium Inn. They were all very friendly, it was very clean, and it didn't smell. They all have a chef, and they have all different foods, and all these fancy meals. My mom and dad love it. Sarah and Sue are helpful and friendly. Their unit is a room, but it has a bay window and a large bathroom. My mom uses a walker, so she can get into the bathroom. It's spacious enough, and so is the room. They've done bingo, exercise class, and some arts and crafts. The value of the money was another thing that was appealing because it is such a nice place, and it was one of the cheaper ones than the other places I had just called, so more for your money."

"I am now living at Royal Park Place. I've only been here a month but it's met all my expectations. I like it here very much and I'm quite satisfied. The food is excellent, very good, and delicious. The people here are so wonderful. They're busy, but they always have time to talk to you if you have a question. They have lots of programs and activities going on all the time so they make it easy to meet the other people. It's a beautiful facility. We have way more activities than one person could do and there are lots to choose from. It's a moderate price."
