Independent Living Communities in Pontiac, MI

"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."

"I toured Lockwood of Waterford. It was very nice, very well maintained, and the apartment was very comfortable. I've had the meals there. They were not included. They have to be paid for. The food was very good. The staff was very friendly and competent."

"We toured Canterbury on the Lake. It was very nice. The person that gave the tour was very helpful and very knowledgeable about the facility. We got to walk through from the front door all the way through the dining room and the common areas. We got to see a couple of different apartments with different floor plans. So that was nice to be able to do that. We got a sample of their menu, activity, and calendars, and then we got a packet of floor plans and applications. We got to sit down and have our questions answered. The building itself is beautiful. They're small apartments basically, but they have all the necessities. They have a kitchenette and they have their closet space. It looked clean."

"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."

"My dad is a resident of Flourish Collection at Rochester. What I like most about it is that the location is two miles from our house. It is set in a beautiful Rolling Hills Community and it has an active lifestyle for an aging population and there are quite a few activities. An overarching experience that we have had is that anything that needs addressed is done in a very expeditious way. The staff is fantastic and personal. They know my dad, and they know me by name. They are always available and ready to help. He lives in an independent ranch home, two-bedroom, two full bath, garage, laundry room, kitchen, family room, and lanai. It has new carpet, fresh paint, and luxury vinyl flooring. It does have safety pull cords and a daily check-in system that if he has not personally checked in, they will follow up and go to his unit and check in on him. There might have been slight variations as having a corner end unit versus a middle unit. They offer valet and chauffeur service. There's music, which my dad really enjoys. They have a pool, a clubhouse, bocce, pickleball, and hot tub that is available to any of the residents to reserve individually or enjoy as a community. They also have onsite healthcare. There are in-home visits by a nurse practitioner on a weekly basis every Monday, which is fantastic. They have in-home podiatry care, which is every other month and they do feet and hands. They offer vision care and they have hearing aid appointments. They have in-home dental care as well. My dad doesn't have a dog, but I see that they have a little van that pulls up to groom and wash and care for your dog. There are quite a few residents that have dogs that I've seen. He has had in-home physical therapy as well, which is fantastic. You're not running around town trying to coordinate that and as a family member/caregiver/helper, it allows me to still raise my family while knowing that he's cared for there. The community director gave me access to communicate with him and he is always available. If there is a problem, it's addressed immediately. It does feel more personal than it does a machine or a corporation. My son and the community director's son were playing against each other at a local high school baseball game and the community director came down to my car and got my dad out of the car and helped him walk up to the game. It's personal. It's not just a business. They care and they want to help make their golden years comfortable and enjoyable and special for them. My dad does go to the dining room on occasion."

"My mom moved to Golden Grace by Majestic Residences. They've been very caring. They're also very good at helping with the transition because we just moved there. The food was very good. There was no smell. Everything was clean and dusted. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. It's not a large facility, but for a group home, it's laid our very well."

"Our extended family thanks the entire staff at Independence Village of White Lake for the tremendous care and support provided to our mother/grandmother/great grandmother… even though there, sadly, for only part of a year before her passing. She was resistant to moving from her house… her home. But once she moved in, mom herself started referring to her apartment as "home" and stated she loved being there. This is because of the staff… to a person, they were kind, attentive and caring. One example amongst many… my son and significant other purchased her a plant… robust and needing little care beyond watering. During an extended absence (hospital stay and rehab) the room was cleaned… as expected… but some gracious soul watered the plant (even updating the sticky note showing previous watering with the new date) for her. Again… It cannot be emphasized enough how grateful we are to Independence Village of White Lake. Thank you eternally… Her son… Carl Jr."

"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'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."

"We toured Park at Franklin Senior Living. What I liked most about it was the type of care they give, and it depends on the care that the person needs. And if they needed more care, they could add on more care. So, I thought it would be good for my friend. I also liked the apartments because there were not a lot of floors, and it seemed very comfortable for her. The staff was excellent, and every question that we had, she was able to answer, and she's kind and very courteous. The dining area was clean, neat, and very nice."

"Our interaction with Marianne on finding us the right downsizing Senior apartment that we like. It was more then we really thought would happen to us, after living in a single family home for 23 years. Marianne Researched our concerns quickly within a few days..."

"Brookdale Southfield is a beautiful building. It had nice woodwork. There's quite a bit of space for the residents to enjoy themselves in. They had an indoor pool, a nice library, and a couple of private dining areas where you could have parties and that kind of thing. They had a really nice outside area where the residents could sit. The staff was very friendly and very nice. I interacted with the head of guest services quite a bit, and she was very helpful. My parents ended up staying out there for about a week. You could go for a week, just to get an idea of what it would be like to live there, which is nice. They enjoyed the food, and my mother's very picky about what she eats. The building's a little older. It's not quite as spectacular as the other place."

"The people at Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby are friendly. The manager is friendly, too. Everyone works together and makes sure that everyone is taken care of. It's a good atmosphere, and the people are caring. My room is a little small, and there is not enough storage for my things. I came from a big house, so it's a challenge. The food is very good, though. The activities they have are day trips, games, exercise, get-togethers, bingo, and parties. It's the best place that I have seen."
