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."

"My mom is at the Devonshire Retirement Village. I just find the whole thing so wonderful. It has been so good for my mom and the people there, from the director, Sarah, down to the cleaning people, I see nothing wrong. My mom has thrived so much. She is so excited to participate in everything and to be in a community with other people of the same age group and socio-economic kind of stuff. She's having the time of her life. I don't think she's going anywhere, anyplace, any time soon because she truly loves it. She loves her space that she has there. It's beautiful. There are animals that are outside that come up to her window. I never feel like she's alone if she were to fall. When she was still living in her own home, that was always a big concern. She eats with a group of women and they have their little chitchats and they spend good quality time together. The people that do the games are doing a fabulous job. They're so caring. I've had some issues and they have been the sweetest people. It's a godsend. My mom has a suite. She has a ginormous bedroom with a walk-in closet. The bathroom is right off from the bedroom in that part of the apartment. It's like a one-bedroom apartment. She has a nice living space with a sliding glass door in the living room and her bedroom has a bay window with a window seat in there. It has a cute little kitchenette and it has just a little refrigerator. It's decorated really cute with her furnishings from home. She's just moved a part of her house to this new place. They have outside activities. They do bingo and they have kickball, which seems to be her favorite. I went to a baseball game. They've gone on outings to campgrounds and it's so decorated. They have a theme every week going on and I've shown up to do things with them. Maybe three weeks ago they did something that was with the 70s game shows. They had a really good time doing that. They play cards, and there are puzzles. She's back to reading again. She never turns the TV on. Her day is very, very busy. She doesn't have to attend if she doesn't want to, but they are really big on encouraging everybody to mingle. The social part is what I think I love the best. She isn't sitting alone in a room with the door closed. She likes to leave her door open and then it's closed in the evening. I don't worry about her there. I think that is a load off of my shoulder. What she's paying for, it's well worth it."

"My mother is in an assisted living building at Addington Place of Clarkston. I had made several calls to other places and Addington Place called me back and they were close also. The layout is inviting. My mom's room is close to the dining area, so it's convenient to visit her. There's a courtyard there. It's very well done. They're redoing it now, but even before they started to redo it, it was very beautifully done. They had a very welcoming lobby. The staff is friendly. They seem to know mom well, which tells me they've spent a significant amount of time with her. They bother to get to know the little things about her, what she likes, what she doesn't like, what time she likes to have ice cream in the evening, little things like that. There's a lot of staff, you have the care level, you have the director, and you have an activities person. Most of them are very professional. There are a few new people. I would say 90% of them are just top-notch staff. In every facility, you're going to find a staff member that's a little off or they're just maybe a little too busy, but that's not the case there. The majority of their staff are topnotch, and almost treat my mom like they're her own mother or grandmother. Compared to other areas, they're probably one of the best. I've tasted the food a couple of times and it's good. They have a great activities coordinator and she's got all kinds of things going on there. They have people come in that play instruments and they have a 50s day and there's just a lot of different things. They had dancers come in that were from New York and do a little performance for us. It was neat. I happened to be there that day when they came. It was expensive, but I was surprised that it was as reasonable as it was, given the quality of this place. It's kind of like a hidden gem."

"I can’t say enough great things about Oliver Woods. They really care for the residents. For the staff, this is more than a job! They genuinely want to help the residents have the best life possible. My Mom has been in two different buildings depending on the care she needs and each and every staff member has been top notch. They made the transition from one building to the other seamless. The rooms are beautiful and well cared for. There is lots of natural lighting and all the common areas are clean and set up for interaction of the residents. The care is superb. When we are not there, we don’t have anything to worry about. All her needs are met and she has lots of activity."

"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."
