Independent Living Communities in Traverse City, MI

"Food is great, staff is really nice, and the other residents feel like family!"

"Autumn House Williamsburg is a lovely facility. My mom’s room is kept very clean and she says the meals are quite good. The staff is amazing: everyone (custodial, food service, resident assistants, admin) are very friendly and considerate. I am so glad my mom is at Autumn House."

"The rooms are spacious and the staff is the best! Very caring individuals!"

"I think Boardman Lake Glens assisted living is wonderful and the care is wonderful. The only problem we had is that my mom needed a step up in the care and there was a drastic miscommunication between the nurse that was on the floor and the manager of the whole unit. That was all resolved and it's going just beautifully right now again. Their rooms are gorgeous. Her room overlooks a lake. She has her bedroom, own bathroom, living room, and a little kitchenette. It couldn't be nicer for her. We're so pleased that we were able to find that place so we were upset at the thought of having her leave. The food is delicious. She loves it. They have bingo and exercise. They had a person there when we were visiting her this summer and she brought in cups of ice cream for everyone. Another time she had little things, like little treats for them because it was a holiday. Mother had some art projects that she's worked on in her room too. The staff is very caring and they meet all of her needs."

"My mom was at Woodside Village Apartments. It's called independent living, but the aids that work there, they gave her her medicine and stuff. So it's kind of assisted, but it's considered independent living. The staff is wonderful but it was like being in prison, they were confined to their rooms most of the time. The room was OK. It wasn't upgraded and it was just outdated. Where they had my mom, it was an easy layout for her. My mom swept the porch everyday cause she thought the porch needed to be swept. It's in the woods, so there's leaves and stuff all over that. It's right in town. The staff is great, and the food is good, but I wouldn't recommend it."

"I toured Village at Bay Ridge Senior Community. It's a much older place. It's on the west side of town where I like to be, but they didn't have anything available. It's a very nice place. The people were great. They were awesome. The one I spoke with was very, very nice. They have all this stuff for people to do. They have buses that they take people to the grocery store or whatever if they don't drive. There's a gym, a library, and rooms to use if your family comes in for something."
