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."

"Independence Village of White Lake was in a nice, little complex with what appeared to be a very eager and helpful staff. I got the overview brochures, and we did a walkthrough of one of the apartments and a quick walkthrough of some of the facilities. I saw a basic one-bedroom apartment that was open and available, the dining facilities, the exercise facility, and the group TV room."

"The facility in West Bloomfield is fantastic. and has exceeded all expectations. Staff is friendly, very accommodating and address all issues promptly. Residents order breakfast and dinner 7 days a week from a menu prepared daily by a chef and sous chef and served by courteous wait staff at your table. Daily life and activities at All Seasons WB is like being on al never ending luxury cruise. My family member is in her 90's and we wish she would have made the move years earlier. She has a new and active life."

"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."

"Rolling Hills Retirement Community is a brand new place, and it's beautiful. It's not fully occupied. They have everything you would want. They have three meals a day. It's beautifully appointed and my friend is very happy there. It was very, very nice. I just don't think it's worth $50,000 a year. It's $4200 a month with three meals, housekeeping, and beautifully appointed rooms with a full kitchen, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. I have nothing against it. It's just I couldn't give up my condo and go to that. It's 55 and up, so this is for people who are independent. I only met two people, and they were very kind and very warm. What I liked is they have a lady who lives there permanently, so there's always someone there at night. They were going to start a home health care company on the premise, so if you would need physical therapy or if you need someone to stay with you, you can hire them. It's a very, very well-organized company. I ate and the food was very good. They have maybe 50 to 60 people now and they hope to have it filled by the end of the year. It's very well appointed. They have staff there 24 hours a day. They have a maintenance man on call if you need somebody. They have a chef and he comes to the table and asks you if the food is good. It's all cafeteria-style, so you have to go up and get your food. They will have a sit-down later on for the main meal. I can't complain about anything. They have a room to watch movies. You have individual leather chairs and they have meetings in that room about the facility. It's beautiful. It's very, very nice, but it's not for me."

"My sister picked American House the Village Senior Living. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are well-maintained and clean. The food could be better and better served. They have room for improvement in that area. We go on trips to the local stores; they have a happy hour and an activities director who does cards and trivia questions, Bingo, and all that kind of stuff. "

"Everything was very good. There was no problem. My father was there for six weeks. He was happy there. The food was good. He enjoyed it, and he ate everything when he could. He had a room, and it was nice. "

"This community is one of the finest in the area, most beautifully decorated, inviting, and very clean. From our family's initial visit, Jason and Anna were warm, engaging, and encouraging. Our parents loved their apartment , the amenities, the activities, and the fellowship of their neighbors right from the start. My father's comment just a month later was "I love it...we should have been here long ago!" The staff quickly became like family and we noticed that they were empathetic and really cared about the well being of the residents. Thank you Flourish for providing a clean, well maintained, beautiful home for our aging parents!"

"The tour I had at American House Elmwood was great. The facility was excellent. It's at the top of my list. Jessica was phenomenal during the tour and even answered a lot of questions I hadn't thought about. They gave a sample of some cookies, which were excellent. The place was very clean and the layout was very good. I liked the 24-hour nursing care there. They have the shuttle, and they have the transfer. I liked that my father is assigned a table, so if he doesn't show up for a meal, it would be noticed."

"Brookdale Novi had a very comfy and homey feeling. They have galley kitchens in all the apartments and a counter across them. The galley kitchen was wide enough that you could go in with a wheelchair and turn around. The food was excellent. The salesperson was very accommodating and caring. The staff member called me and I like that approach, because it shows that they really care about me. All their meals are included in the rental price of the apartment, which I liked. It's a two-story building and they have a lot of people there, including more people in my age group because I'm only 62. The only negative is that the doors in the public bathrooms are hard to open when you're in a wheelchair."

"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."

"I don't like the setup at Brookdale Southfield, and the staff was not very friendly. The dining area was OK, and the rooms were good, but the kitchen just feels so small. They were playing something down in the dining area, but I don't like it because if the patient can't get down there or doesn't feel like going down to the dining area, he won't get a chance to eat. The place was decent, but they just need to change their menu. The staff during the tour was OK; I thought you're supposed to see some helpers for the patients, but I didn't see that. "
