Independent Living Communities in Waterford, MI

"We went to American House Village at Bloomfield. It's a nice place, but it's not what we were looking for. The floor plan was a little small, but it was OK. They showed us the common areas and a one-bedroom apartment. The staff who assisted us and gave us the tour was very nice. The place was very clean."

"We’re so grateful to have found IV of White Lake for my Dad! He’s been there for about 5 years. He’s always felt welcome and cared for. He likes the variety and quality of the food serced. He has been involved in so many of the activities they offer. His needs have changed along the way. IV and the wonderful staff have jumped in to make these transitions easier for us."

Members have a voice in the management of the building and are encouraged to participate. The co-op is within walking distance to the bus line, retail establishments, and an urgent care facility.

"I am currently living at All Seasons West Bloomfield. The place is only 10 years old. It's been a very pleasant apartment. I don't partake in any activities. I am more of a recluse. But they have a pretty good chock full of activities. I feel okay here. I feel safe. I have dinner partners. The room is very adequate for a single person and I wouldn't need any more space."

"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."

"I've moved into Rolling Hills Retirement Community. It's very well put together, very organized, and very clean. The food is very good. Good selections, too. They have a movie theater as well as different kinds of activities daily."

"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 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."

"My dad is a resident of Flourish Collection at Rochester. What I like most about it is that the location is two miles from our house. It is set in a beautiful Rolling Hills Community and it has an active lifestyle for an aging population and there are quite a few activities. An overarching experience that we have had is that anything that needs addressed is done in a very expeditious way. The staff is fantastic and personal. They know my dad, and they know me by name. They are always available and ready to help. He lives in an independent ranch home, two-bedroom, two full bath, garage, laundry room, kitchen, family room, and lanai. It has new carpet, fresh paint, and luxury vinyl flooring. It does have safety pull cords and a daily check-in system that if he has not personally checked in, they will follow up and go to his unit and check in on him. There might have been slight variations as having a corner end unit versus a middle unit. They offer valet and chauffeur service. There's music, which my dad really enjoys. They have a pool, a clubhouse, bocce, pickleball, and hot tub that is available to any of the residents to reserve individually or enjoy as a community. They also have onsite healthcare. There are in-home visits by a nurse practitioner on a weekly basis every Monday, which is fantastic. They have in-home podiatry care, which is every other month and they do feet and hands. They offer vision care and they have hearing aid appointments. They have in-home dental care as well. My dad doesn't have a dog, but I see that they have a little van that pulls up to groom and wash and care for your dog. There are quite a few residents that have dogs that I've seen. He has had in-home physical therapy as well, which is fantastic. You're not running around town trying to coordinate that and as a family member/caregiver/helper, it allows me to still raise my family while knowing that he's cared for there. The community director gave me access to communicate with him and he is always available. If there is a problem, it's addressed immediately. It does feel more personal than it does a machine or a corporation. My son and the community director's son were playing against each other at a local high school baseball game and the community director came down to my car and got my dad out of the car and helped him walk up to the game. It's personal. It's not just a business. They care and they want to help make their golden years comfortable and enjoyable and special for them. My dad does go to the dining room on occasion."

"My sister has made a deposit and will be moving into American House Elmwood. The whole place was very clean. We chose it because it offered a very good-sized villa, which is independent living. She would prepare her own meals, so she did not get a meal plan. The staff who assisted us was excellent. They had a hair salon and a meeting room."

"When I visited Brookdale Novi, I saw the room, the space, and what was available. Since it's independent living, they just showed me the package if I needed some help with anything and the prices were too much for me. They showed me a one-bedroom with one bath and its kitchen. The kitchen came supplied, but there was no furniture in the bedroom or the living room, which was fine. The staff was very helpful. The facility was nice and clean. It looked decent."

"I love the tour we had of Park at Franklin Senior Living. We toured the independent living part of it, and it was exceptional. I loved everything about it, but I think it's going to be too small for us. We are downsizing from a 3-bedroom house, and I have a lot of stuff to get rid of, but I have a lot to keep, too. I think this place is going to be too small for them. What I like best is the apartment itself and the services that are being offered. I like everything that they showed us. The staff who gave the tour was friendly and very knowledgeable. If you wanted to gather a lot of information, I think she did just that. Everything was cleaned up. A lot of the places that I had been in before had a slight odor to them, but I didn't smell anything in this place."

"I've been in StoryPoint Novi for one year now. The employees are all very friendly and will help anybody that looks like they need help. The meals are extremely flexible, like you can order breakfast almost all day long. Whatever is on the weekly menu that they put out, if you don't like it, there are so many other options that you can choose from. It's sit-down rather than cafeteria style, which we like. They have very sufficient entertainment and activities. The activity people in that department are always upbeat all day long, every day. The director, Tiffany, is very adept at it. She comes in here on weekdays and she comes and brings her husband and her children. It's like this is her family here and that's impressive. The building itself is clean. The independent and assisted living have their meals together. We have three meals a day, but we are supposed to choose two of the three meals. I found that that's extremely sufficient. My apartment has a complete kitchen. It has a full-sized stove and oven, a full-sized refrigerator and a microwave. The only thing that's missing is the dishwasher. Every Tuesday night, they have some type of musical entertainment. It might be somebody that plays the violin or a singer. When football or baseball is on, they have things called tailgate parties where they'll serve things and we watch the big-screen TV. They have movies a few times a week in their theater with a big screen. They have card games going most every day. The Rummikub seems to be a big thing. They have other special things, like right now, they have a theme for the food every day of the week for a different country like Mexico, Hawaii, etc. There seems to be something going on all the time. You just wish it was cheaper than it is. A lot of these places are in a nice, serene area, with not too much commercial stuff going on and just peaceful situation. We have here a place that's right across from a very big mall and a big hospital with all the different doctors surrounding it. Everything is extremely convenient as far as shopping, medical services, restaurants and things like that. Within 10 minutes of here, you can get just about anything you want, but we are set back so you don't feel like you're in the middle of a busy area. It's really a pretty good situation we have."
