Memory Care Communities in Bay City, MI

"My wife was here. It was for respite care. The size is good because it's small. They're a pretty close group. The staff was very good. Their food was excellent. The cleanliness was good. It's reasonably new; it's not an old place or anything. For activities, they played cards and bingo. My wife enjoyed it; she thought it was nice. The layout was good. The rooms weren't as big as some of the other ones, but you're not in there that much. The atmosphere was very friendly."

"In the 68 years that I have been alive, I have never found a place that has better customer service. Every, and I mean every single person we interacted with was amazing. Due to my mother’s illness we visited all hours of the day and night and never had any problems or concerns with the staff. The building is very clean, free of odors and feels like home. We have never seen any residents that look unhappy or not cared for. The activities that take place are so wonderful, and family is able to join in. Dezarae, Kathy and Loren are so reassuring with the medications and take the time to know who the residents are. The food is wonderful, if mom wanted a grilled cheese or egg sandwich in place of a meal, it was not an issue. The housekeeper Katlynn was so kind and made sure to interact with mom when cleaning the room. We loved the layout of the apartment and that she could have a bird feeder outside of her window. Yes, they are expensive, however so are luxury vehicles. I am old enough to know that you get what you pay for. "

"We visited Vassar Fields, and it seemed very good. There were people my parents knew who were living there so they were considering it at that time. They had arts and crafts and bingo. They had a room where people could come in, have popcorn, and watch movies and shows. They also have entertainment coming in from the outside. We visited the assisted living part, and I noticed that the independent living places seemed to be larger compared to the assisted living ones. They also didn't have a full kitchen. It was more of a room with a bathroom like a hotel suite, which is nice, but it didn't have kitchen facilities. The facility is also older."

"Everything was very nice over at Living Waters Buell Lake. The person in charge was very good. The place was clean. I remember they had a nice community room and they had an event going on that day. The kitchen looked very good. They did have a patio that looked out over a lake. The staff who gave me the tour was very family-oriented. The dining room looked like it was very well organized. It was a very clean- looking place and well-lit. It was a very simple place. It had 2 hallways and 19 rooms."

"New Hope Bay has provided my mom with a great sense of community. She’s now engaged, active and thriving in her senior years. New Hope Bay staff helped her find friends, activities and develop a flourishing lifestyle. The staff is friendly, kind and ensures she is well cared for. This transition was a very difficult decision for my mom and a huge adjustment for her. New Hope Bay staff and nurses could not have made the transition better or easier. Her new living accommodations are spacious and beautiful. Our family couldn’t be happier with our decision to place our mom in New Hope Bay."

"My mom was in Caretel Inns of Tri-Cities. The food was outstanding, and their gourmet chef was better than any restaurant in town. Family members that visit got to eat there and it only costs $5. That food would cost $25 in a restaurant. A lot of the patients allow their family members to eat with them, and it's a very positive thing. Her room was nice, it was very bright, very decorated, not as large as the others, but it looked homey, and it looked like they cared about you. They had Bingo, trivia night, a little movie theater, exercises, and they played Euchre. They had tons of stuff to do. They also had a state of the art physical and occupational therapy."

"I had an in-person tour. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about the facility. As of right now, this is one of my top choices. They even invited me to speak to some of the residents as well, so that was very nice. I got to meet with the chef, and she was open and honest about everything. They showed me every nook and cranny of the building, so that was wonderful. They have a nice little apartment room, like a studio apartment. It has a nice little kitchenette in it where they provide a microwave, a refrigerator, a little sink, and little cabinets to keep dishes and whatnot. It has a personal bathroom with a shower. The staff was wonderful. The chef made a fresh loaf of banana bread and sent me home with a piece, which was very nice. There were no odors or anything in there. It was absolutely clean and beautiful."

"My wife moved into New Hope Valley last month. I was very comfortable with everybody that I talked to over there when we were searching. And the price was reasonable too. The room is fine. The staff is very accommodating and efficient. She's in memory care, so everything is locked down, and she just has a small room, but it's plenty for her needs. They furnish a bed, dresser, and TV, and we bought a loveseat to put in there so she'd have additional seating. But she sleeps a lot and she does that in the chair. So we figured that would be better than a chair. They have quite a few different activities, but my wife doesn't participate. Every time I go there, they've got some kind of a group discussion going on with something and things like that. They go down, they do exercises and they call it the sunroom. It's just a room that has a lot of windows in it and they do exercises and activities down there. My daughter was in there one day and they were kicking a ball and she got into it, but she was kicking so hard we were afraid she was going to knock somebody over. I'm very satisfied with the treatment she gets there and the facility and everything."

"Shattuck Manor is very clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and the patients seem comfortable and friendly. The patrons have individual call buttons on lanyards that they wear. The call lights are answered quickly. When I press my sister's button, somebody's there within minutes, so they're very responsive. The food was just fine. It's a nice place. They print the monthly schedule. They have bingo, cards, arts and crafts, nail care, and hair care. They have people who come in and play music."

"Edgewood is by far the best assisted living in Saginaw. They not only have a full time nurse and on call nurse, they have nurses that work as supervisors and medication technicians as well. The dining room service is above average. Mother gets to order from an actual menu just like she is at a restaurant, and the Chef even comes out to see if the residents are happy. The Administrator Krystyna is a nurse and gives her cell phone number out, and will actually answer it and talk to you if needed after hours and weekends. They have a manager on shift every weekend and weekdays till 8 at night. The housekeeping staff is amazing, Jackie the manager makes sure my moms clothes are never washed with any other residents and the building always is clean and smells fresh. Edgewood has a warm home inviting atmosphere. The activities they provide are amazing! They have live music once a week, Bingo, art, cooking class, happy hour, sewing class, mens club, book club, taste test Tuesday and so much more. They even allow pets. The man by my mom has a dog! I highly recommend Edgewood, it’s a great place. "

"I was impressed with Bavarian Comfort Care. It's a new facility, so everything is clean and bright. The staff was friendly, and the place is clean, well-equipped, and had large rooms. It was impressive. It's in a good location. It's on a major road, but it's not congested, and it's easy to access. It's in a nice country area and has really good security. You can't just walk in or out. Any adjacent buildings are professional buildings like the doctors and dentists, so it's a good area. "

"Toured May 2024! Excellent place for anyone to be. Friendly family like atmosphere. Toured Memory and Assisted Living"
