Independent Living Communities in Wyoming, MI

"The guy at Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris was phenomenal. He showed me the rooms, he showed me the facilities, and he showed me where they make the dinners. The guy was on top of everything. He gave me all kinds of advice. He spent about an hour and a half talking with me. The room was beautiful. The place was beautiful. It was phenomenal. Everybody was very hospitable. They were very lively, and they were rambunctious. I think they're probably told that, 'Hey, when you see someone walking around, you just express yourself like hey, good morning or hey, good afternoon.' They acknowledged you. That's why that's the place I'm picking for my wife. If she is going to go anywhere, that's where she is going to go."

"I visited. The staff was very helpful, she took me to their newly renovated dining area, and the core part of the building. She did a beautiful job at showing me the facility. It was wonderful to see her greet people by name, so it seems like they knew their residents quite well."

"Provision Living at Forest Hills was very nice, but it was expensive, and my sister wouldn't feel comfortable there. It's not her type. It was beautiful, but we knew it wasn't for her. The rooms were nice and big. It was a beautiful place. However, it was more formal than what my sister was used to. The furnishings were beautiful, and the rooms were beautiful, too. The price wasn't out of line with the place, but we didn't consider it at all. The rooms were very roomy and nice. I think you could bring your own furniture, or they would furnish something. The staff member who gave the tour was okay. We saw the dining area. It was nice, but we didn't get to see the food or anything."

"We have a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, which is good size., with a very nice kitchen area. We are also provided a parking space in a heated garage, plus a good size separate storage space. The staff working here are very friendly, and caring. The residents all know each other, since we are smaller than some other independent retirement residences. We are very happy having chosen to live at Cascade Trails."

"Everything just looked very livable at Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community. Things didn't seem cramped. There seemed to be a lot of open space for moving around. Everything seemed very, very good. I didn't notice anything I didn't like or questioned. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. When I had questions, they were very patient with me."

"We're very, very happy here at StoryPoint Rockford. My husband drives to go to the grocery store when we need to. We're in independent living and we have a lovely apartment. We eat at 5:00 and the meals at night are perfect. We're friends with a lot of people here. There's nothing wrong with it, all the help, the life enhancement, there's something going on all the time. We have entertainment. Now that the weather's good, we're going out into Grand Rapids for different things. We walk around the building. Our building is big enough to walk twice around. It's a two-story and when the weather doesn't permit, we walk the halls. We have help whenever we want it. Cleaning is done for us, and if something goes wrong with my kitchen sink and my faucet, they're here to fix it. The staff is very nice and they know your name immediately. There are five or six couples here, but we're the only ones without a walker or any assistance. One of the nurses calls us the Dynamic Duo. If something goes wrong with the plumbing or the heating, we don't have to think about that. We just call Wayne and he takes care of it. Our chef is very good, and our menus are healthy. There's ice cream, cakes, and cookies all the time. The wellness center here is perfect. There's somebody here night and day and day and night. We have cords to pull if we need that, and we have health checks all the time. Every week, you get your blood pressure checked if you want. It's great. If you're going to retire, retire in a place like this. We also have the memory section here and those people are taken care of. Each section is well taken care of because we know people from each one. A man that lives in independent living down the hall from us quite often brings his wife, who is in the memory section, to dinner with us. He can go and eat in her section or he brings her to our section. We can see the building where our doctor is. We can walk to it in five minutes or we can drive to it in two minutes. If our doctor says you should see doctor so-and-so, you don't have to make the appointment, she'll contact that doctor and that doctor's office will call us. The system here is perfect. The ear doctor, the eye doctor, the dentist, everything is convenient."

"My father has moved into American House Holland. What made us choose this place is the location, the friendliness of the staff, and the knowledge and condition of everybody in the building as well as the building itself. It's very clean. My father has a 350-square-foot studio apartment. It's very nice and open. He has large windows for plenty of outside viewing. And it's conveniently located close to where he eats, so he doesn't have to walk very far."

"Freedom Village Holland was very nice. The food was excellent. The staff was very good, but you have to move to Holland. They don't have garages. The grounds are not pretty, but they have a beautiful facility. We've stayed there overnight. Their activities are very good. It costs more there, so you don't get as much value for your money, but I still think they're great. They have bus activities, they have travel activities, they go to different countries as groups, they have a full-size Olympic swimming pool in the facility, a jacuzzi, and a hot tub. They have an attached care facility. It's a quality unit. There's nothing wrong with that facility other than it's just big. It's seven stories and big problem is the slow elevators. If you want to go to supper, you take your time."

"What a beautiful facility. Prompted and welcoming team. Very safe and knowledgeable with the times we are on. I feel like part of a family. "

"My friend has moved into Baldwin House Lloyd's Bayou. It's very nice. It is very well kept up. It was really a godsend to us. The issue is with the concierge services. For people who don't have a lot of money, it can be difficult. The family will need to be involved if they can't afford all the concierge services, but what they do provide is very good and top quality. The staff members are well-educated. They are very professional and caring and they try and help all they can. My friend is not using all the services, so I can't necessarily say everything is five-stars, but everything I've encountered has been five-star quality. Their facilities are very large and spacious. They have different common facilities on each level. They have a card-playing room and a billiards room. They have movie room where they show movies for the group. They really do offer a lot of very nice amenities, and they have an exercise room, too. It's very clean and it's very welcoming. They just do things right, but it is expensive."

"American House Spring Lake was nice. It had a two-bedroom-two-bathroom that it could have gotten there, but the view out the window kind of turned me off because it was overlooking the parking lot. I don't want to spend my days looking at a parking lot. The apartment itself was great, but the view was horrible. The person I spoke with was very patient because I don't move fast because I use a walker. She was very patient and very thorough about what was available. I got the chance to see most of the facilities, and they seemed to be nice. Everything looked good. She had put some effort into my visit to the point that she had a little gift bag for me with some stuff in it. I saw the weight room, and they had a laundry service, too."

"I actually moved into Pine Oak Senior Community. It’s for senior citizens 62 and over. I have been here only a week, but the people at the front desk are really nice and helpful. There are all 1-bedrooms in this complex, but they do things like they get the garbage. I liked it. The rooms were a little bigger. The apartments are really nice. They’re clean, and they put a new carpet down so I was happy with them when I walked in here. Each place has a balcony. They have nice landscaping around. The neighborhood is pretty decent, and there is a grocery store just a block away at the most. They’ll bring your groceries over if you need it. There’s a bank at the corner down the street and they’ll come here once a week and help you do your banking stuff. It’s almost like assisted-living. The rent was fine price-wise. Everybody else had a waiting list. They just had openings, and it works out OK for me because my son lives about half a mile from here. "

"Baldwin House Grand Rapids was the first one I saw and I did eat there. It was nice, but it's the smallest of the ones I saw and yet these others are all huge and everybody has only about 100 people in them. The food was very good. It was a good pasta with some meat. There was a nice salad involved. It was very tasty. They had a nice outdoor patio. It looked quite livable. I couldn't find anything to complain about. The dining area was very nice. The rooms were good. The common area looked very nice. I heard about the events where they bring in musicians and things like that. It was a good visit. The staff was very amiable."
