Independent Living Communities in Troy, MI

"I liked that American House Stone is just one floor so my mother would not have to deal with any stairs or elevators and the price point was important to us. We were fortunate to be able to eat a meal there and my mother, who is very particular, enjoyed the food. There were a lot of options for her. If she didn't want somebody doing her laundry for her, they said that that was no problem and that she could do her own laundry. So, there were things like that, which made her feel more that she was living independently and not reliant on somebody else for everything, which was important to her. She didn't want to feel like she was giving up total control, and they were very willing to work with her on that. Everybody was very kind to us. This was the second time that some of us had visited there, and they remembered us from a previous visit, which was surprising even to remember the names. So, we're very pleased with how we were treated. They were friendly, helpful, and very kind. They even gave my mother a to-go container of more food, because she liked it so much. The facility was clean, but there were a few things that were dated or wear and tear, but nothing bad. The room that my mother is going to be moving into has a new carpet, new paint, and things like that. There were four of us that they served lunch to, and everyone was very pleased with the food."

"The staff was so friendly and helpful during the search & move-in process. They answered my countless questions, and has so much patience with my grandparents as they navigated this change. They are very responsive, and maintain the building so well for the residents. Now that my grandparents are all settled, we are so happy with the facility, staff and all of the amenities!"

"We toured American House The Village. It was a great tour. We get to see a lot of the facilities and the added activities. We liked the people there and the independent units. They were bright, cheerful, spacious, and bigger than what I had expected. The staff did a great job answering our questions and presenting things to us. We went through the dining room and watched people eat, but we didn't eat there. They have a top chef, so I assume the meals are good, and they allow us to have a pet."

"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 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 toured American House Sterling Heights. It didn't seem as busy or active as the other facility, but it was a nice, clean, and friendly environment. I met only one other staff member besides the manager there, but they were friendly and nice. The setup didn't kind of feel that one too much."

"Baldwin House Hazel Park has very nice people and very nice apartments. All of them were very attentive. They called back just to make sure that they've answered all my questions. I believe it was the manager or one of the people in the office who took me out for a tour and showed me all the other things that were included. The rooms were very clean. I believe I saw just a one-bedroom; it was more than a studio, and it's very nice."

"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 James Ferndale was very friendly. Everything was great. They were top-notch. It's luxurious because they have everything on site. It's perfect for somebody who has the finances. They had studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments. We specifically looked at a one-bedroom apartment and it was very spacious. The lady that was welcoming us was super friendly and very helpful. She gave us some coffee. If I would have had the finances, I would let my mom stay there. The dining area looks like a little restaurant. The service was good."

"Our interaction with Marianne on finding us the right downsizing Senior apartment that we like. It was more then we really thought would happen to us, after living in a single family home for 23 years. Marianne Researched our concerns quickly within a few days..."

"Shorehaven, Heather the director and staff have been great to my Mother, just the kind of place I was looking for and thank God I found it. This place is just like family."

"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."

"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."

"I toured the independent living community of Sterling Place. I walked in at almost 1 o'clock, and the residents were lined up. It must have been a good lunch, and they had two choices for that meal. They have another meal for breakfast, but they don't have dinner. The lunch and breakfast area is lovely. The person who gave the tour showed me a couple of the activities, too. The parking was okay, and they also had a screened-in porch. My tour guide was very personable, and a couple of people welcomed me, which is nice. They said they don't get a lot of people who visit."
