Independent Living Communities in Pontiac, MI

"My sister picked American House the Village Senior Living. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are well-maintained and clean. The food could be better and better served. They have room for improvement in that area. We go on trips to the local stores; they have a happy hour and an activities director who does cards and trivia questions, Bingo, and all that kind of stuff. "

"American House Stone was good. The lady who talked with us, the manager, Patti, she's been very good, exceptional. And we were pleased with the place all around. There was a Catholic church directly across from the location. They had the bus that would be able to take them to their doctor's appointments. And if they didn't make it to a dinner or lunch or breakfast, they would box it up and bring it to their rooms for no extra price. We just generally liked the place. When we were there the last time, there was a guitar player. Someone was playing a game on a chart with the residents. The staff members were very friendly. We met the housekeeper, we met the lady who does the laundry, we met the manager, and we met the gentleman who drives the bus. And they all were very friendly."

"Lockwood has senior apartments and you can choose from one, two or three bedrooms. Mom and dad have a beautiful two-bedroom apartment, they get one meal a day and they have their own kitchenette so they can cook in. Lockwood also offers the Med Team that takes care of their medical needs, bathing, housekeeping and laundry so they can be together. "

"It was clean, and they had a lot of that for the clients. I kind of got a good feeling there when I toured them. I had a tour with the physical therapist that worked there, and she was excellent. The building was all right. It was OK. Everything was good."

"I was very impressed even though I came in kind of unannounced. I had a tentative appointment, so I wasn't really expecting to have a tour. They did help me out a lot and showed me around. I wasn't in a good mood because my husband was in the hospital and not doing well. So I was kind of cranky, but they did really well. They even sent me home with a pie. The rooms and apartments were fine. They had different styles for different people's needs, but they were all fine. I was really looking for respite care, but I thought they were kind of expensive because there were a lot of add-ons like medications and administration. But I thought they were fairly good, and we'll be looking into them for respite care. The dining setup was fine. We were there during a meal, but I didn't see what the people were eating. They have been keeping in touch with me to see when I'm available to come and see them again and have my husband stay sometime for respite care. They are really good about it when I tell them I'm not ready. They say they'll call in a month or call in a few months, and they stick to that. They are not bothering me or anything, so I think they are doing well. So that is probably what we are going to look into when he needs to stay there for a few weeks. "

"I toured the independent living. I liked the 2-bedroom, 2-bath ranch with an attached garage. I was very impressed with it. It's only about 3 years old so everything was new. The gentleman that gave us the tour was excellent. He just answered all of our questions, and I felt comfortable just going in there. They have a swimming pool and exercise programs. They have art classes and excursions so they keep you as busy as you want to be. The place is beautiful. It's in a wooded area with some trails around the complex so it's very pleasing. We had lunch there too and it was excellent. The dining room was beautiful. There was enough lighting and space between the tables."

"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."

"Independence Village of White Lake was in a nice, little complex with what appeared to be a very eager and helpful staff. I got the overview brochures, and we did a walkthrough of one of the apartments and a quick walkthrough of some of the facilities. I saw a basic one-bedroom apartment that was open and available, the dining facilities, the exercise facility, and the group TV room."

"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."

"Rolling Hills Retirement Community is a brand new place, and it's beautiful. It's not fully occupied. They have everything you would want. They have three meals a day. It's beautifully appointed and my friend is very happy there. It was very, very nice. I just don't think it's worth $50,000 a year. It's $4200 a month with three meals, housekeeping, and beautifully appointed rooms with a full kitchen, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. I have nothing against it. It's just I couldn't give up my condo and go to that. It's 55 and up, so this is for people who are independent. I only met two people, and they were very kind and very warm. What I liked is they have a lady who lives there permanently, so there's always someone there at night. They were going to start a home health care company on the premise, so if you would need physical therapy or if you need someone to stay with you, you can hire them. It's a very, very well-organized company. I ate and the food was very good. They have maybe 50 to 60 people now and they hope to have it filled by the end of the year. It's very well appointed. They have staff there 24 hours a day. They have a maintenance man on call if you need somebody. They have a chef and he comes to the table and asks you if the food is good. It's all cafeteria-style, so you have to go up and get your food. They will have a sit-down later on for the main meal. I can't complain about anything. They have a room to watch movies. You have individual leather chairs and they have meetings in that room about the facility. It's beautiful. It's very, very nice, but it's not for me."

"We visited American House Southfield and thought it was a nice, well-maintained place. The people were very nice. "

"Our experience having my great uncle at Brookdale Southfield so far has been very good, and we're pleased. We pretty much like everything. The community is great, and everybody is pretty much active there. I like the fact that they can age in place, so they have assisted living services and home healthcare services. I also love the fact that they have a lot of activities in-house, but they also have a lot of outings. In fact when you go in, you can see people making it like their home. There are always people sitting out and having a conversation, there are people outside, or in the library, and doing arts and crafts. The citizens seem to like the activities that they have going on. The staff is amazing. They know my voice even when I call, and if anything is wrong they call me. I like the fact that there's a doctor and nurses on-site."

"Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby was very nice. The staff was very accommodating, personable, and professional. However, the kitchen facilities were small, and they did not have an in-room washer and dryer. They have a library, card tables, gathering rooms, and exercise rooms."
