Independent Living Communities in Sterling Heights, MI

"My father-in-law is a resident of The Pines Senior Living. The place has a studio, is spacious, and has an administrator who can get things going and make things happen. The food is okay, and the place is pretty clean. The size of his room might be around 900 square feet. He has a small kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a decent-sized bathroom. The dining area is spacious."

"My mother moved into American House. They're very friendly, everything is up to code, it's beautiful, and my mother is very happy with it. She has a 2-bedroom on the first floor, it's huge, and she loves it. They have Bingo, a pool table, puzzles, exercise, a TV downstairs in the living room, and they love to watch the ballgame. The have a gazebo right outside her room, people go out there in the evening, and it's really nice. They have a bus that takes them shopping, to doctors' offices, and to the bank. The hallways were just redone. They just put a breakfast bar in the dining room, and in the entryway, they've got a place for coffee, drinks, cereal, and pastries 24 hours a day. The food was delicious. The staff was very friendly, and everybody seemed to know the residents by name. It's right next to a Meijer's shopping center."

"The things I like best about Villa Bella of Clinton Township are the size of the rooms and the cost, which is important to me. The VA is going to pay for a big part of the cost, but I still have to pay for some of it. They also have three meals a day. I enjoyed the meal that I had there, it was good. The staff members I met during the visit were nice and friendly. They were patient when I had a hard time walking."

"We went to Baldwin House Senior Living Lakeside. It was very nice. We liked it a lot. It was nothing like the other ones. It was like an apartment feeling. They had walk-in closets and a walk-in pantry. We wish my mother-in-law would have gone with us. The staff member who showed us around was really nice and very informative. Everything looked clean. The cafeteria was nice. She showed us both the one-bedroom and the two-bedroom, and they were both nice. There was a lot of space in the kitchen and living room, and a lot of cupboard space."

"I visited Windemere Park Warren's assisted living for my mom. It is a remodeled hotel, so it's a little less bright. However, they also have very large open-air spaces, including a koi pond, a pool, and activity areas. I don't think it's as modern or updated as the others I've visited, but it's fine. I would say the rooms are probably standard, they were decent-sized. The staff members were very knowledgeable about the area. One thing I'm looking for is a combination of assisted and memory care for when my mom would go from needing assisted living to memory care. That was an important reason that I went to Windermere, and they were very clear about answering all my questions about that. They gave me a very nice tour and even took me to memory care so I could see that as well."

"I visited StoryPoint Clinton Township. It was very nice. The staff members were all excellent. They were very helpful. They offer just about everything you can think of. Their activities, their food, and their entertainment were superb. I thought it was great."

"The apartments are very nice, spacious. The buildings cleanliness is deserves a rating of 5 stars. The balcony is small ,but great for small number of plants. The manager Jean was easy to talk too and very polite, very informative about the senior apartment facility; as well as the receptionist was very friendly and courteous. I will continue to look for apartment that is one unit or private entrance ; The high rise apartment I feel it not the type of apartment I need at this point in my life. THANK YOU"

"We liked Pine Ridge of Garfield. The rooms were nice, and the food was great there. They had a stove, but the only thing I don't like is that I would like a washer and dryer in my room instead of sending out the laundry. The staff was very nice. The food was very good. They had a little garden and a patio that you could go out."

"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."

"Rose Senior Living - Clinton Township was a very nice community. My sister's mother-in-law was there, and I got to visit there quite a bit. She loved it. I was very impressed with that. I think they keep it up real good. The staff was good, too. She played bingo about 3 or 4 times a week and that's one of the things I was looking at when I was viewing senior living places. Not only bingo but even a place to have conversations or socialize with people. My sister's mother-in-law was out all the time there. We could barely see where she was at because she was socializing."

"I have moved into Park Place, A Signature American House Community. I like the size of it, that it's not too small. I also like the fact that it is very well-maintained. Everyone in charge has been most helpful before I moved in, during moving in, and after I've moved in. I have not gotten to know a lot of the neighbors because I'm in a wheelchair and on oxygen, so I haven't been out and about, but the service here has been outstanding. They're absolutely beautiful. Everyone who comes in here is amazed at how well kept up they are, and just the quality of what they have used to design the rooms and everything. I moved in in November and then I just moved into a different room Saturday. I chose a studio apartment as opposed to a one-bedroom because I don't need that much room. There are lunches, there's going out shopping, there are doctor's visits, and there are activities here all the time like craft activities and bingo. There's just about everything you could want to do is here. And if you can't find it, you can ask for it. There's a lovely library, a very nice pool table for those who like to play pool, an area for playing cards, and an area just for sitting in front of a fireplace talking to your neighbor. The food is unbelievable. I have not had a bad meal here. It is excellent."

"I toured American House East I. I was impressed, and it was more impressive than the other 2 places I went to. I'm still waiting for an opening there. When I drove up, it looked like a very nice campus. The buildings were spread around, the lawns were mowed. There wasn't a lot of commotion outside or anything, so The outside looked good. And then when I went on the inside, it was huge inside, different places like a gym, and a dining room. The staff was excellent, a professional lady, worked with me very well, and she's very impressive. There are a lot of activities going around. I just wish I was living there right now so I can get involved and all that. They put the groups together and they talked about different things about aging, or they talked about exercises to do, to make you feel better."

"I went to American House East I. I liked everything about it. It was quiet. It was very clean. The people were friendly. When I went in, the seniors there were very friendly, and it made you feel comfortable when you walked through the door. I didn't know exactly where I was going and they assisted like, hey, go around there, see such and such and everything. So that right there walking through the door helped me feel a little more comfortable. In the quarters themselves, the living quarters, I went in, they were very clean. It was nice and spacious, exactly what a person would want. The first place I went, the person was wonderful. And the second place I went, the person was wonderful. She took me all through and showed me everything. They were very thorough in their job and they explained and answered my questions and shared things about the facility that I would need to know if I were to move in. So they were excellent in both locations. I was very, very, very impressed. It was very clean. That's the first thing that I recognized going in. I was looking around. It was very, very clean and each building was very clean. The first building was extremely clean."
