I really love Trail Creek Place. I've got the largest room here. I've got a small kitchenette, small living room, small bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom. However, I'm not crazy about the food. It's not very healthy, there's no nutrition, and everything is breaded. We've got an activity director, there's an exercise class, we bake cookies, and twice a week the residents play Bingo. They check on me twice at night. I feel safe here.

Brookdale Michigan City was fine, and the rooms were fine. The dining area was good, and the staff was friendly. The price was comparable to everybody else and was average.

I visited Brookdale Michigan City, but they were very expensive. However, the staff was very friendly and very nice. The marketing director was very sweet, but I felt like I was being lured. I called on the phone to tell them everything about my mother and reiterated that she was insulin dependent and diabetic. Once, I got there, it was like a total surprise to her. It made me kind of suspicious because she kept on wanting to convince me that because my mother was on insulin it would be $2,000 extra a month. I said, "Oh no. It does not cost that much." Everybody was wonderful, but I felt like there was a sense of desperation that they needed people to fill the rooms, and I thought that they were trying to convince me to allow my mother to start living there. They tried to convince me that the place was affordable, but it was not. The rooms were spacious with a nice walk-in closet. They had been remodeled, and I really liked the improvements. I was very satisfied with the room, the grounds, and all of the amenities that they described. Everything was what we wanted, but unfortunately, their price was a little bit too high. Otherwise, we could have chosen that facility. They had more activities than the place where my mother is right now. They had a beauty shop and a nice lounge or TV room when you walked in so you could socialize with other people. They also offered to take the residents out shopping, which I liked as well. I would recommend it to others, but I would warn them that it was very pricey.

We are in the process of having my mom in Brookdale. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, caring, compassionate, and kind. The rooms are very clean, well-kept, and fresh. The dining room has an easy access. They offer activities like exercises, outings or field trips, games, movie time, and music. They have gardening outside, sitting areas, and nature walk. They have current events and things to help with their cognitive skills to keep them up-to-date. The security seems very well; like in the main entrance, you have to be buzzed in because it is locked.

My mother was at Sterling House of Michigan. It was beautiful. The staff was great, but they did not have as much staff. They were more shorthanded, but I think they were more connected with the staff. They were more caring and more giving. They have more compassion. It was a very good place.

My parents are at Sterling House of Michigan City. The place is clean and it was well staffed. I like that there were limited number of residents living in the community. I like that I can get to select the level of service that was needed for my mother and I thought that t was well balanced. It has a very nice dining area. It's a very comfortable and quiet setting. They provide their meals on time and make sure that the residents get there if they need assistance to get to the dining. They make sure that they are there to receive their meals. All in all, it's been very nice.

Trail Creek Place was very welcoming and homey. My issue with it is cost and that there were very few males and a lot of women. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were more like home, not like a hospital room, but I don't have nearly $7,000 to spend. I worked at nursing homes all of my nursing career, and I have nothing negative to say about them. They're excellent, give excellent care, and in compliance with most things. I just don't have unlimited funds which is not the problem of the community. They had great activities and great things to offer.

I visited Clare Bridge of Michigan City, and it's beautiful there. It was mellow, and they played music throughout the whole place. It was very clean and very organized. They were caring for the people. They were playing games when I was there, and there was one woman who carried a dog around with her.
A nurse is coming to our home next week to evaluate my mother, and I like that aspect. That would definitely be my first choice because it was just professional and caring, they called for feedback, and communication is well. The people were smiling. They were all in one floor, and it was a smaller facility. Once they put them to bed, they check on them every hour at night.

I had visited Clare Bridge, and it was nice, but it was expensive. I don’t know anything about the staff. Other than the way it looks, I can’t say much about it. It was out of my mother’s price range. It was neat and pretty. The person I talked to was very friendly. She answered all my questions well and gave me time.
