Independent Living Communities in Saginaw, MI

"I liked New Hope Valley Retirement Community very much. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The facilities were clean and very well-kept. They had lots of opportunities for residents' interaction with each other, with the staff, and with the outsiders coming in to provide entertainment and stimulation. I thought they were very good. I liked the convenience of the location for us. For the independent living residents, they allow cars in, if they can drive/if they wish to, but they also have services to transport the residents to doctors, shopping, and things like that. I liked that my dad could go into independent living and then seamlessly transition into assisted living without moving. He could stay in the same apartment. I also liked that they had three or four different styles and sizes of apartments. The ones we saw were very good as well. They were quite roomy. I thought it would be an excellent choice."

"New Hope Bay has provided my mom with a great sense of community. She’s now engaged, active and thriving in her senior years. New Hope Bay staff helped her find friends, activities and develop a flourishing lifestyle. The staff is friendly, kind and ensures she is well cared for. This transition was a very difficult decision for my mom and a huge adjustment for her. New Hope Bay staff and nurses could not have made the transition better or easier. Her new living accommodations are spacious and beautiful. Our family couldn’t be happier with our decision to place our mom in New Hope Bay."

"Washington Wood had pretty much everything that my parents needed. They have a beauty salon, and a place where they can get labs. They can eat food in one of the restaurants or in their own place. They have different sized apartments, they have laundry rooms on the same floors, and elevators. It was a really nice setup. Everything they wanted was right there for them. The staff seemed very nice and friendly. They have people that go around and check on you. They'll call you a couple of times and if you don't answer they'll come and check on you. There's a maintenance guy that will come and do things for you too."

"Riverside Place Senior Citizen is magnificent. It's right next to a river, and there's a trail that you can use, so that's the outside and it's wonderful. And then the inside is always clean and nice. I can't say enough good things. The staff are very busy. They have their jobs. I've used the maintenance man a couple of times, and he's very efficient. Everybody does what they're supposed to do. In terms of activities, right now, they're announcing that there's a big band set at 5:00. There are way too many different activities. Today they had two afternoon activities. There's more but I don't do like the pool, shuffleboard, cornhole, or bocce. But I do exercise on Tuesday and Thursday. It's a gentle exercise where you sit in chairs and it's fun. It's a great place for a bunch of old ladies that sit and do all the exercises. There are too many exercises to do actually. I'm only in my apartment a few hours a day, otherwise, there's something to do. Food would be the one drawback. They're cafeteria food when you were in college. They cater to your table, and it's called gourmet dining, but I don't know about how gourmet it is. They have white tablecloths on tables, and it is fancy, but the food is mass-produced. It's not your mom's home cooking. It was hard for me at first to get used to that. And then people that have been here longer say, 'You get what you get and don't throw a fit,' and so okay, that's what I'll do. It's not the cheapest one that we checked into, but it's about the right price. It's the market price for what my rent would be. "

"My grandmother just passed away; she had been living at Colonial Villa about seven years. She and my family loved it there. The staff is incredibly helpful, nice, supportive, etc. And in her final days she was taken care of so beautifully, and with such care and devotion. I’m so grateful to have had caretakers that made this place a real home to her and my family. Highly recommend!"

"Roxbury Court was my favorite. It was very clean and well-kept. The management was very friendly and informative. I met several of the residents, and their words were, "If you get a place here, you'll never want to leave." I really wanted that one, but as it turned out, they didn't have anything available. The staff who assisted me was young. She took us to the room. She was very friendly. She was working with us to try to get an apartment. There was one available, but she didn't realize that someone else had accepted a deposit on that unit, so that's why we didn't get that one. They had a library, and I believe they had a small beauty salon. They had transportation like a shuttle bus that would take you shopping. They had elevators for the second floor. It was so well taken care of, and I saw no flaws in it during the short time I was there. There was a dining area where you can bring your own meals and sit at the table and chairs and eat with other people, or bring in your coffee and sit and have coffee with others, but I don't recall seeing any kitchen."
