"I toured The James Ferndale. It was a good community. It offered everything you could think of. They had a chef that would prepare meals for you. They had a salon. They had a little doctor's office there. The staff was very pleasant, and the menu looked good. They have game day and a van that would take you places if you need transportation. They offered everything included in one price. It was still a little pricey for me, but it was a nice place."

"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."

"Baldwin House Hazel Park is lovely. My dad loves it there. They keep him busy playing Keno and bingo all day. If he's not down 5 minutes after breakfast, they bring him his breakfast, lunch, or dinner up to his apartment. It is really nice and very clean. He also loves the food. He only likes certain foods and everything they cooked was what he liked. The staff is very polite. They help him with everything he needs. They have a staff that comes in and does house cleaning for all of their residents. They are also very well-educated and know all their residents very well."

"Parkside of Livonia was very impressive. It was clean. The people working in the office were excellent. The big deal was that it's three stories, and to be honest my wife was very paranoid after we got to the third floor, and she was wondering about how to get out if the elevators weren't working that well. Gabby was the one we had contact with. She was very informative and very friendly. There were two questions that she didn't know, so she went to somebody in the other office and got us an answer right away. She was tremendous. They don't have food. Every apartment has its own full kitchen. You can order food out. They eat at the same places we eat. They're only five miles away from my house right now, and they're only a mile away from my daughter's house. All in all, it was an ideal location. We could walk to my daughter's house and have a nice afternoon. They have common areas. There was nobody using them, but they were spotless. The carpeting was clean. The trash cans were empty. They have a game room and a movie theater room, and they were spotless. The room that they showed was empty, but it was fresh paint, well maintained, and clean carpeting."

"I like the staff at American House Troy. They're nice to my mother and us as a family. They are very courteous and concerned. The rooms are nice and big enough for a walker or a wheelchair. Cleanliness is really good. The food delivery is good. The meals appear to be very good, too, nutritionally based. The residents get a choice. Every day they can choose between one item or another item and my mother seemed to like the food there. They have a beauty salon and a dining room. They offer transportation if you want to go to a doctor's appointment or shopping trips if you want to go to a Myers. They have entertainment that they bring in. They have games and a little community area where a lot of residents can work jigsaw puzzles. They have a medical team on staff as well. Rent is kind of high, but overall considering the rent in other places and for what you get, it's way more."

"Brookdale Farmington Hills was a warm and nice environment. They were very welcoming. We also liked the size of the rooms. We liked that Brookdale told us that everyone there has needs and that they can work with us. It was much more of a friendly reception. Mom really liked the way the rooms were set up and that she could have a little screened-in porch attached to her room. It was an older place but I didn’t notice anything bad. They had organized trips every day which was interesting to my mother. They also had game nights and she's excited with that. They had a community room where you could get coffee and just sit there with guests. The manager met me late in the day and she was happy to stay late to talk to me. She was very nice to assist me and explain things to me in her office. The front desk person was very nice, too."

"Excellent, caring staff. All through my family's experience we were very happy with the way our father was treated. All additional costs and suggested services were fully explained and tailored to fit his changing needs. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"Park Place is very nice and it’s close to where I live so it’s very convenient. They took us around and showed us some rooms. The rooms were like little apartments and were very nice; you can bring in your own furniture. The staff was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. "

"The facility in West Bloomfield is fantastic. and has exceeded all expectations. Staff is friendly, very accommodating and address all issues promptly. Residents order breakfast and dinner 7 days a week from a menu prepared daily by a chef and sous chef and served by courteous wait staff at your table. Daily life and activities at All Seasons WB is like being on al never ending luxury cruise. My family member is in her 90's and we wish she would have made the move years earlier. She has a new and active life."
