The Best Independent Living Communities in Washtenaw County, MI

"The staff at StoryPoint Saline was friendly. The facilities were pleasant. It's what I would choose. The staff member there not only toured me to the building, but she also gave me some tips on moving and getting rid of things, which was very helpful. They invited me to come back for a meal along with my friend who accompanied me there, but I did not have time to do that. I especially like that they had their own staff. In a lot of these places, if you need help, you have to contract it through a different entity, and there, they have their own staff. The facilities, while they are not as new and shiny, were perfectly adequate."

"I visited this facility last week and I was very pleased with cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. I am most definitely considering Assurance assisted living to help with my mom. I feel like she would be in great hands here. The one young lady Kiara was very sweet and answered all of my questions. She even was even open to some suggestions I made and said that she would consider accommodating them.Over all it was a pleasant visit and they are in my top 3."

"We toured Lockwood of Lyon. It's a beautiful community. The only downfall was the pricing, which I didn't think would be sustainable. The rooms were beautiful, with enough living space for a single person, and their amenities were very nice. There was a library and a movie theater area. They had breakfast and dinner available, and they also had a little snack shop with different things available. I'm not sure if you'd call it a snack shop or more like a small deli, but if you needed something for lunch, you could pick it up there."

"We loved our time at IVP! My stepdad acclimated very well to his room, dining room and the staff. They were always very responsive to him and to us as a family. We had a wonderful, caring experience with Debbie, Raena, Jamie and all the other staff and care givers! The hospice and care teams were wonderful to him and we could see they genuinely cared for him! We were blessed to be a part of the IVP family!"

"We chose American House Westland Joy for my parents. It's independent living, but we can purchase additional care for them as needed. It's kind of a la carte. Based on what I've seen so far, I would probably give them five stars just for their customer service, their kindness, their flexibility, and their willingness to work with us on move-in dates and the particulars of our needs. One of the things that I liked about American House was the size of the rooms. I had looked at some other assisted living rooms and the rooms were much smaller and didn't have a full kitchen, which my parents can still use. I liked that there's a kitchen, there's a place where they can have a table, a stove, and a refrigerator. The apartments are updated with nice flooring and a little bit more updated cabinets. The apartments themselves were nice. They had lunch for us and my parents loved it. They thought it was delicious. I had some soup myself and I thought it was delicious as well. They gave me an activity calendar. They have a lot of activities at the facility. One night when I had stopped in to visit, they were having a holiday party and they had it very nicely set up with music. There were lots of families there with the residents. That was nice to see as well. The prices are what made me choose them overall."

"I have a couple of friends there at Ashford Court. I'm also going to go into a studio there. It's pretty much just one room with a bathroom. I've their dining room and the main room when you walk in, they do entertainment. The staff members are all friendly. In terms of cleanliness, it's very clean."

"I toured American House Westland Hunter. What I liked about it was that it was so clean, and the staff was wonderful. Everything was nice, so I didn't have any bad things to say about that place. I saw a one-bedroom apartment."

"I toured the independent living community of Westhaven Manor. The person who gave the tour was a really good tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and lovely. I could get along with her, so that was good. I like the fact that there was an application fee that was reasonable. There was also a meal plan. I like the layout of the place. The dining area was lovely, and since it was early in the morning, there were a couple of people who lingered over coffee. Everything looks clean and maintained. The rooms I saw were lovely, and I like the amount of room in them. I always wish for bigger ones, but it's sufficient for me."

"Newly opened (January 2024) and still very nice. Modern apartments with wood cabinets and nice counter tops, updated bathrooms and in-room laundry. The food varies from decent to good, and there is plenty of it (24/7 coffee, snacks/sandwiches, icecream machine, in addition to meals). Very few, if any, "add-on" costs. It is worth checking out if you need independent living."

"My brother is in American House Westland Venoy. It is wonderful. The director there, Cindy, was awesome. She explained everything and showed us around. Everybody just seemed so nice there. So far, my brother likes it. The staff gave us options on what to expect and what different programs they have there. The size of his room is perfect. It has everything that he needs. It's got sliding glass doors to go out to his patio. I thought it was very nice. Everything looks clean and fresh. They have card games, bingo, arts and crafts, and entertainment."

"My sister moved into Rose Senior Living at Providence Park. It's working out very well for both of us. And, I couldn't ask for a better staff there. They are good both to her and for helping me through everything. She has a one-bedroom apartment, the smallest one-bedroom apartment, and has very adequate space. She's busy with chair yoga and balance exercises, bingo, Rummikub, and lots of other activities all day long. She's out of her room close to 8:00 to 8:00. They have a lending library, a garden arbor, several courtyards, an excellent fitness room, and a separate physical therapy room. She's taking physical therapy for balance also. And they have a hair salon, chair massages, nannies and patties, and many movies a week."

"I toured Brookdale Brighton Michigan. I hope they let him live there because it's close to my home. It's a very nice facility. It's beautiful. The staff was awesome. The rooms were very nice."

"My mom has been here since April and for several months I was extremely happy with the facility, the staff was great when it came to the care of the residents. The only problem I had in the beginning was missing clothes and shoes. Recently the staff and administrators have changed and not for the better, I don’t understand why the change because the old staff was the best, no one is hardly available to address my concerns and the nursing staff is not as professional like the old staff which I wish could come back. At this point I’m looking for a new facility especially since they have increased their fees $200.00 and their services are no longer worth it. The only thing that is consistent from the time my mom moved in would be the activity director Bridgit, she is amazing and has my mother very active. It saddens me to see this beautiful place and staff in the beginning to change so drastically to the point I’m removing my mother from her comfort zone but I can’t keep her there. We had a life scare and Jatonya noticed she wasn’t breathing right called ems which I was told had it been any later she wouldn’t be here today. She is no longer there and that’s sad she was excellent at her job and I don’t feel this new staff are as attentive as the old staff, while I visit no one comes and check on her which they never know when we visit for this unhappiness I feel now she’s going to leave as soon as I find another happy place. I’m so sad to do this to my mom but the only thing to keep her there would be to return the old staff completely"
