Independent Living Communities in Romulus, MI

"I toured the independent living community of Westhaven Manor. The person who gave the tour was a really good tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and lovely. I could get along with her, so that was good. I like the fact that there was an application fee that was reasonable. There was also a meal plan. I like the layout of the place. The dining area was lovely, and since it was early in the morning, there were a couple of people who lingered over coffee. Everything looks clean and maintained. The rooms I saw were lovely, and I like the amount of room in them. I always wish for bigger ones, but it's sufficient for me."

"I toured American House Westland Hunter. What I liked about it was that it was so clean, and the staff was wonderful. Everything was nice, so I didn't have any bad things to say about that place. I saw a one-bedroom apartment."

"I moved into Maple Heights. The people are very nice, like from the kitchen to the front desk to the girls that bring the food, or cleaning. They're all very courteous and helpful. You can have the meals sent up to your room if you don't want to go to the dining room. There's three meals a day and housekeeping. If you want to wash your own personal clothes there you can do that. The food is really pretty good. It's a little bit on the bland side, but I happen to like that. I cannot eat highly seasoned food. I have not seen a swimming pool. They have exercise classes almost every morning. They have activities that they do with the people. Then they have people come in and play music for them. They have karaoke and bowling. There's at least six things per day to do. They take you grocery shopping and to doctors' appointments, they go to restaurants, they have ice cream socials. Everything I have ever needed, they're right there. It's worth every penny."

"After looking at several facilities, I made the decision to go with the Memory Care unit at Hampton Manor of Woodhaven. The staff was always nice, but my mom simply didn't get cared for properly. I brought my concerns to the management and we got into a heated argument about her care or lack thereof. After the last visit to the hospital (the 3rd in 3 weeks), Hampton Manor of Woodhaven called me while I was in the ER with my mother to tell me they would not allow my mother back into the facility. I received no time to find a facility for my mother at all. Later that day, the manager stated it was because Hampton Manor of Woodhaven couldn't care for my mother. I pray that no one else has to go through what my mother and our family had to go through at this facility."

"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 have a couple of friends there at Ashford Court. I'm also going to go into a studio there. It's pretty much just one room with a bathroom. I've their dining room and the main room when you walk in, they do entertainment. The staff members are all friendly. In terms of cleanliness, it's very clean."

"I visited the independent living community of American House Dearborn Heights. The community was friendly, and there was a lot to do. I liked the layout of the independent living, and I liked how they had a choice for a meal plan. I like the layout of the rooms, and I was happy to see a washer and dryer. They also have a full kitchen, which is good. The person who gave the tour was friendly and knowledgeable. I also saw their dining area, and it was spacious and lovely."

"We chose American House Westland Joy for my parents. It's independent living, but we can purchase additional care for them as needed. It's kind of a la carte. Based on what I've seen so far, I would probably give them five stars just for their customer service, their kindness, their flexibility, and their willingness to work with us on move-in dates and the particulars of our needs. One of the things that I liked about American House was the size of the rooms. I had looked at some other assisted living rooms and the rooms were much smaller and didn't have a full kitchen, which my parents can still use. I liked that there's a kitchen, there's a place where they can have a table, a stove, and a refrigerator. The apartments are updated with nice flooring and a little bit more updated cabinets. The apartments themselves were nice. They had lunch for us and my parents loved it. They thought it was delicious. I had some soup myself and I thought it was delicious as well. They gave me an activity calendar. They have a lot of activities at the facility. One night when I had stopped in to visit, they were having a holiday party and they had it very nicely set up with music. There were lots of families there with the residents. That was nice to see as well. The prices are what made me choose them overall."

"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."

"American House Livonia was very nice and clean. The only thing was it was not secure. I didn't get to see the rooms. I saw the outside, the living room, and I had a meeting with the coordinator. Once we got to talking and he realized what I needed, that I needed more of a secure place because father wandered off, he referred me to see some other places. The living room was nice. There was a table there for them so I got to see some of the residents and some were on the porch. There was no odor. I like the place. The coordinator was very informative and helpful."

"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."

"My mom has been here since April and for several months I was extremely happy with the facility, the staff was great when it came to the care of the residents. The only problem I had in the beginning was missing clothes and shoes. Recently the staff and administrators have changed and not for the better, I don’t understand why the change because the old staff was the best, no one is hardly available to address my concerns and the nursing staff is not as professional like the old staff which I wish could come back. At this point I’m looking for a new facility especially since they have increased their fees $200.00 and their services are no longer worth it. The only thing that is consistent from the time my mom moved in would be the activity director Bridgit, she is amazing and has my mother very active. It saddens me to see this beautiful place and staff in the beginning to change so drastically to the point I’m removing my mother from her comfort zone but I can’t keep her there. We had a life scare and Jatonya noticed she wasn’t breathing right called ems which I was told had it been any later she wouldn’t be here today. She is no longer there and that’s sad she was excellent at her job and I don’t feel this new staff are as attentive as the old staff, while I visit no one comes and check on her which they never know when we visit for this unhappiness I feel now she’s going to leave as soon as I find another happy place. I’m so sad to do this to my mom but the only thing to keep her there would be to return the old staff completely"

"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 toured Allegria Village, and it was fantastic. It was like walking into a country club. You walk in there, you look around, and you figure, "Where am I?" This is not like a senior citizen's home. It's beautiful. It was clean and bright. Everything was very nice. They have four restaurants. They have a TV studio if you want to make a video. They have a clubhouse, a pickleball court, a nine-hole golf course, and an activity room. They have an off-season swimming pool. They have a bank and a golf simulator. They have a salon, a game room, a craft room, a small chapel, a laundry area, and a library. My daughter was with me when I took this tour, and she said, "Gee whiz, Mom, I think I will move in here." It was just fantastic."
