"We really liked Maple Lake Assisted Living & Memory Care. It was nice. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I saw the menu and the lobby. There was a huge library and a fireplace area. It was just a nice community area. We got to peek into a room. It was a resident's room so we didn't really go in, but it looked very nice."

"It was not very big. They have a dog that roams around the premises that I knew my father-in-law would like. The staff seemed to be friendly and helpful. The bedrooms and the dining room were nice and clean. They play bingo and do outings with the other residents."

"Bickford of Battle Creek was a nice place and it looked like they tried to have activities for the people there. Somebody comes in with a guitar and plays songs to the residents and they sing. Since it was the first time I'd seen anything in an assisted living, the one-bedroom to me was kind of small (I guess I'm used to a house), but they had lots of sitting areas where people could get together and do stuff. They also had a spa, which was nice."

"My parents have been at NorthPointe Woods for 15 months now and we are very pleased with their care. Their apartment is spacious and bright with a bay window sill for placing their special pictures and ample closet and storage space as well. The staff is exceptional! They have been very timely in communicating needs and keeping me updated on any changes in their health that need attention. My Dad loves to play cards and goes twice a week to play Euchre and Texas Holdem and has enjoyed meeting other residents and making new friends. My mom enjoys the shopping trips and the quilting/sewing group. The dining room is very spacious and bright. There are several areas to gather to visit, snacks are always available, laundry service is included or residents can do their own if they'd like to. The complex is totally accessible without having to go outside so in the winter months, visiting friends in Independent Living or The Oaks is easily accessible. The Executive Director has made himself available to contact for any questions or concerns and has worked with our family to address specific needs in a very professional and caring manor. So much so, there is a sense of family and community here. I truly believe my parents are in the best place in town. It gives me great peace of mind knowing their needs are being met 24/7 and whenever I call, each of the staff has been more than helpful and accommodating. "

"The rooms are spacious and clean, facility is well kept, staff and Manager (Judy) are great people who really care, and the activities were a lot of fun for building relationships. "

"My father has been a resident here for 5 years. We have been very happy with his care..The employees and staff are always kind and caring to our father.He has dementia but still has some of his mind yet. This has been very trying times with covid and we feel the staff has done a tremendous job through all this.Our father can be very hard to deal with at times and we appreciate all of their hard work in dealing with him.He is not ready for the memory care yet.Myself and my sisters very much appreciate them putting up with my dads up and down personality. People need to realize assisted living does not mean 24 hour one on one care. My dad mostly just needs meals and medicines distributed to him. We are happy that at this point that’s all that is needed. We find the facility to be clean atmosphere to be calming and over all are very pleased with Park Place!Kudos to the staff for all their hard work! Especially through all the covid!,"

"We looked at an apartment at Heritage Community of Kalamazoo and it all looked good. It has two bedrooms and one kitchen. The grounds are very nice. Their dining room is like a restaurant. The staff would come in and take your order. They have a regular menu and their food was very good. They have a library and lots of things going on. They play bingo. They also have a happy hour once a week, movies, popcorn nights, and various things. The only thing bad about this is their parking. The normal parking is quite small, but I would definitely recommend this facility. "

"I went to Friendship Village. It was a little bit older, but they seemed to have the amenities one would need. However, they were expensive. Parking was difficult when I went to visit. It was hard to find the right facility because they separated memory care as a whole, a separate building from assisted care, which was a whole separate building from independent living. They offer all services, step up and step down, but their independent living was extremely expensive. I looked at assisted living, and they felt like my dad with this feeding tube would not qualify for assisted living because they didn't have trained staff. They said that he probably needed skilled care but he didn't need skilled care. They just couldn't provide him with the services he needed. At least they were honest about it upfront. I do have a friend who lives there, and she seems to like it. She was able to sell her house and buy into their $50,000 plan. They have very nice breakout meeting rooms, and they have a good exercise room, physical therapy. They were able to do drug or medication management, but they weren't able to do the feeding tube. I noticed that they offer a rider van that takes them shopping or can take them around to medical appointments."

"Beacon Pointe was very nice, neat, and not confusing. The executive director was available, very accommodating, informative, and been great to work with. They're very flexible. They accommodate different kinds of diet. They have one dining area which is kind of like an everything room, so it's less confusing for people. The people seem well adjusted there. The place was also very clean."

"I toured Beacon Pointe Richland for my father-in-law. It's very nice, new, and clean. The room is very nice as well. The staff was all very friendly and pleasant to deal with. We looked at the menu and they had a wide variety of options. It was nice. I know laundry was available and so is the means to hand out medication daily. If people need assistance bathing, they have that facility too. If they're in a wheelchair, they can help them with that."

"I liked the idea that White Oaks Assisted Living seemed like a family home. It made me feel really comfortable. The place was clean, nicely painted and well lit. Their rooms had different designs. I also liked the dining area. They had nice amenities where they had a little store where you can buy your supplies and they also offered good services. The people were very attentive, caring, and honest. It was good for people with dementia because they have a dementia lock unit beside the assisted living. "

"The Reflections Memory Care was a beautiful facility. It's very new and very nice. There were activities going on. I just spoke to the salesperson. That was the only place that I had an actual appointment. The salesperson was very nice and showed me around, but she wasn't engaged with the residents. It seemed like everybody was in the activities room. I think the activity was some type of chair exercise. So, maybe she would have been engaged with residents if they were there. They show you their menu, what they're going to have, and what their alternatives are."
