Memory Care Communities in Muskegon, MI

"American House Holland seems to be a nice area for respite care only for a week. It's clean, and I didn't smell anything when I walked there. It seems to be an organized place for seniors. It's very convenient and quiet. The staff who accommodated me was friendly and nice. The room she showed me was big enough for one person. It's clean and organized, but we have to bring our own stuff. They only provided a bed for my father. The common room is more where people can play some acuity games or whatever. It's not that big a place, but they have activities."

"American House Jenison was a beautiful place. It was clean and neat, and the people that we saw were very friendly. The gentleman who toured us was very accommodating. He answered any questions we asked. They have a library and an exercise room. Their dining room felt homey and very comfortable."

"Christian Care Nursing Center is quite a new facility, and the whole family is happy with his location there. It is divided into three different units. One of the units is called the memory unit and that is where my brother-in-law is living now. Everything is new and state-of-the-art, excellent unit. It is only five days that he has been there, so we haven't checked the activities yet, but we know they do exist. The food is excellent. I was glad to see that he ate his entire meal and enjoyed it. I think it would rate the highest. "

"We toured and it was nice. They had a lot of activities. They had a bus that could take people to groceries and to churches. They had a library and a nice dining room. "

"My wife has moved into Seminole Shores. It's a good place, all on one floor. It is also very close to my home. They have good memory units. Food is not gourmet, but it is pretty good. They have entertainment once or twice a month, and sometimes they have music or singing. They have larger rooms, which are bright and cheery. I think Seminole is one of the higher priced ones."

"The staff has consistently cared for our mom, accommodated all of the changes in her needs and continues to keep the family updated and informed along the way. The care staff, dietary services and activities all keep mom comfortable, happy and content. The remodeling has been a nice change too. The management helped us apply for Veterans aid and attendance benefits."

"Nice selection of rooms. Very roomy. Nice variety of meals that taste good. Staff is very nice."

"I went and toured Green Acres of Standale. It was great. I saw a lot of people being taken care of. There was no urine smell. The hallways were nice and wide. It was a very, very pleasant place to live in. It was just a very, very nice place. I went through their memory care. There is a very nice room for my dad. There's nothing for him to fiddle with. It's a plain room, but it's a room that he needs. He would have a bed and a nightstand. I could bring his couch and his TV there. They're private and they have a private bathroom. They even have showers in their bathrooms. What they're working on is staffing because right now the whole unit of memory care is completely closed down. They're waiting for staffing. They closed it down due to COVID. I didn't see anything going on when I was there, but they have bingo and the usual different bands coming in for music. Another thing I like about it is in the summertime, Dad could go outside and walk out of the store, and it's a whole fenced-in area and there's no way he could get out. It's a very nice area. If he wanted to go outside and get fresh air, he could do it on his own. Their set-up for memory care is perfect. "

"Our experience with Sheldon Meadows has been very good. The only downside to the whole thing is that it's too expensive, that's what made us decide to move my mom. Otherwise, the staff has been wonderful and her care has been good. They also have different activities for the residents, like during the holidays they do different things, and they also have church services. Her room has her own private bath and a bay window looking out into the courtyard. Other than assisted living, they also have Alzheimer's care."

"Providence nursing home was a decent nursing home. The food was average, the activities seemed redundant and failed to involve many of the residents, and the facilities seemed outdated. In visiting, I found that many of the patients were interacted with very little and were generally neutral on how they felt towards the nursing home. Many expressed displeasure with the rules that they were placed under. Also, the residents on more than one occasion made comments on how little interest they had in the daily activities and how the daily schedule of meals, bathing and occasional exercise was inconvenient and bothersome. The staff however did seem competent and caring, and attempted to address the needs and requests of patients when they were brought to their attention. I did appreciate the efforts to incorporate faith into the everyday life of the patients if they wished to be a part of it, and this actually was one of the positive things that the majority of patients I visited with commented on. Overall, an average nursing home. "

"I would not rate this facility highly BUT also not low. It was average. The staff (at least the members I came into contact with) were wonderful. The resident I knew (my grandfather) liked the facility as much as a facility of this sort can be liked (FYI: he wanted to return to his home and live independently). He enjoyed his roommate, surprisingly. He had very few complaints and that is saying something coming from him, you will just have to trust me on that point. He had little to say about the food, but had a great deal to say about the staff (as indicated above). He knew and referred to several employees when I visited or when other family members visited him. From what I could tell, the facility was well-maintained and clean. It could have been brighter and cheerier, but that, of course, is a bit subjective (and you do not what to appear to be fake and trying too hard). "
