The Best Independent Living Communities in Roscommon County, MI

"It is close to my aunt's home, it is a familiar area for her, and that is why we chose to look at this place. It has assisted living, but it does not have the memory care which she will need later on, so we would have to think about moving her to the Brook. They have visiting areas, they have one-bedroom apartments, not just studios, and the patients can go anywhere they want to within the building. A lot of the women would get together and do things like puzzles, art, and other different things. They do have activities for them like Bingo and one or two different things that they showed us. They have dining style for dinner, lunch, and breakfast where it was almost like a restaurant type atmosphere. My aunt used to like to go out everyday to eat, so I thought that would be very nice for her to be able to do that. She would think she was at a restaurant because they place their order, just like they would in a restaurant. The nursing careis kept very clean. You didn't have any of the odors there. It was very clean, and the staff was very friendly and very helpful. They made you feel welcome, and they have 24-hour visits if you want to go in 24 hours. They would also let a person come from out-of-town and stay with their loved one for the night. "

"Brook of Roscommon is homey. Mom is living there and is relatively happy. She says the staff is very caring. Mom's room is nice and of adequate size. Mom's biggest complaint is the food because the portions are small, and they don't serve enough fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. The dining area is nice and the wait staff are very attentive. The location is a little further than I would like, but it's the closest I could find. "

"The Brook Retirement Community is absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend it. The dining room is absolutely beautiful. They have their own library, workout room, barber shop, beauty shop, laundry facilities, exercise room, and a lot of common areas. I think everything has just worked out great. "

"I visited The Brook of Gladwin. It was good, and the staff was friendly. The rooms were fine. They have different-sized rooms, so you can pick what you want. The rooms are clean, and they have everything that we need. It seemed like it was laid out efficiently. There are a lot of common areas, and the cafeteria is nice. They got games and stuff that they can play. They have certain items that are always available, like coffee, juice, cookies, and things like that. The dining area is nothing extraordinary, but it's adequate. They have exercise time and game time. They have a regular schedule of activities."
