The Best Memory Care Communities in Genesee County, MI

"My sister and her husband liked Americana Seniors of Davison. The rooms looked nice, and they had their own kitchenette and everything in there. They had a little back porch where they could go outside and sit. The staff was great. They answered all our questions. They had their own laundry room, and my sister could go and do her laundry, but they had someone that would go with her and make sure she didn't fall or anything. The facility was quite spacious. They had a crafting area. She liked it, but they couldn't afford it."

"My mother-in-law is a resident of The Pines of Goodrich. It is great; it is very nice. The staff members are wonderful. They provide around-the-clock care. My mother-in-law's room is spacious, beautiful, and very clean. Their dining area is very nice, clean, and accommodating. Their dining area is wonderful and more like a restaurant. It is a real gathering place. The food is good too. We never have to worry about my mother-in-law there. They're all wonderful, they know her, and they know us. It has been a real relief. The activities are very nice. It is pretty pricey, but it is worth it."

"We've toured Symphony Linden and it was nice. The staff was very helpful and the food was wonderful. They had a gym, a lounge, and a room where you could go and watch movies. It was nice. The place itself was clean, there wasn't anything that was not nice about it."

"I love StoryPoint Fenton, but it's too expensive for my brother-in-law. It's beautiful. The whole facility is top-notch. It is very open and welcoming. There is a huge gathering area. The receptionist is right there to greet you. They had the director right away, and they took me to a model room that was set up. It was a one-bedroom and it had a refrigerator. It was very, very nice. However, that was an assisted living senior community, and that was not what I was looking for. I was looking for memory care-assisted living. They would do an assessment of my brother-in-law before he was allowed to live there. He probably could fit into the assisted part of it, but that part was too big for him. It's all one level, which is good, but I think that with him getting himself from his room to where they have to go and eat would have been difficult, because the layout wasn't good for him in the memory state that he is in right now. I also went to memory care. It was beautiful. We walked through it. It was very nice. They have a nice little area where you could go in and sit by a fireplace and watch movies. The kitchen was right there. They only have 16 residents, which is nice. They were finishing up lunch when I got there. They have several little areas where you could sit down and have a conversation or play a game. The windows were on each side of a nice wide hallway. They showed me a room that my brother-in-law would have. It was a studio. Somebody had just moved out of there, and they were in the process of painting it and getting it freshened up for the next person to come in. It had a nice view out the window where you could put a bird feeder or whatever. All of his furniture could go in the room, too. Then the staff showed me where the patio was, and it was very nice. They have a grill out there where they would grill food for the people. It is also backed up to a wooded little area where you could see nature and sit out there. It was very welcoming and very comfortable. I told her that I would move in there myself right now, so that part of it was very, very nice. The residents that were there were more in line with what level my brother-in-law was at physically. He's very mobile, and he has no medical issues with his heart, legs, or lungs -- nothing. It is just his mind right now is having a problem. If money were not an object, I would have him go to StoryPoint just because of the aesthetics of everything."

"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."

"My sister has moved into Vibrant Life, The Lodge of Durand. It was by far the best, as far as staff, pricing, and what they had to offer. The other ones were much higher in price, didn't seem to have the room size, and weren't as up-to-date as Vibrant was. I have no complaints with the staff or the food. The food is fine. The activities appear to have helped her; they're excellent."

"I live at Devonshire Retirement Village. We have a lot of activities. We have a calendar for the whole month. On Monday, we're going to the Goodwill, in December we have a Christmas ball, and we all dress up. We go into the other building, and the cooks make a meal for us. We get to dance. We went down and saw a Tiger baseball game twice since I've lived here. We play euchre, and once a month we have forums where if you have any problems you tell Sarah, and she tries to fix whatever the problem is. I have a dog, so they let us have animals. We get to go down and eat lunch in the cafeteria from 12:00 to 1:00, and today we had hamburgers, butterscotch pudding, and cheesy potatoes. They have coffee and orange juice. You have to pay for the soup and salad. They didn't use to charge, but now they charge $3 for the soup and $4 for the salad. The food is not bad. I pay $150 a month, and they bring my supper to my apartment at 4:30. This week on the menu, it says that I'm having tuna melt. I've eaten them here before, and I don't like them. I asked our cook Michael today if I could have something different. He said, "Sure, what would you like?" He's a great cook. Anthony is always in the other building cooking for them, but he comes over here once in a while, and he makes wonderful squash soup and he made it for my birthday. He's a super nice guy. On Sunday nights and Thursday nights, we can put our garbage in the hall, and they pick it up. Every other Tuesday, they come in and clean my whole apartment. They dust and they vacuum. Laura is wonderful. She does an excellent job. She has the key to my apartment, and I totally trust her. I saw her today and she washed the pee pads for my dog because they had urine and feces dried on them. She's a perfect girl. It's a locked place, so nobody can come in to your apartment, like off the street. You have to punch in a code. They have a storage unit here, and mine is loaded. We can put shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash, clothes, suitcases and everything. They do excellent taking care of us. I'm happy with the staff. I've had disagreements with some of them, though. They told me I couldn't let somebody come in here and watch my dog while I went on vacation with my boyfriend unless they were a relative. They have pull cords in my bathroom, my bedroom and my living room. So if I fell or needed anything, someone comes from the building across the street and knocks on my door. They have a key to get in, and they come in and see if I'm all right. I'm happy with the food. I'm totally happy here. I've lived here for three years. I have a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, hall closet and laundry room. We can get manicures once a month. We play bingo. We have a bingo store and they give you bingo bucks and then you can buy stuff. They have all kinds of cookies, crackers, dried fruit, potato chips, and nuts. I pay $3,200 a month. I have to buy my breakfast food and if I want ice cream or extra stuff, I have to buy that myself."

"We saw Vista Springs Trillium Village Estate. It's like five minutes from my house. It was very clean. It looks brand new. I like that they have five people to one aide, rather than half a dozen or more for one person. It's not like a hospital. They seemed friendly, and I saw that they were taking care of the people who were there. I didn't look at the premium rooms. I looked the next one up, and they seemed a good size."

"I went to tour BeeHive Homes of Oxford. Everyone was nice. The facility was clean. They spent a lot of time with us. They have a smaller cafeteria because they cater to a much smaller group. There are not as many people. The rooms were studios. They have their private bathroom in each one. There was nothing wrong with them, but they were just generic. They weren't as many activities as the other facility. There were very few. They have a bus that will take people in and out, and they have a smaller common area, but they have a nice outdoor area."

"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."
