Memory Care Communities in Novi, MI

"I would not recommend Cranberry Park West Bloomfield for memory care. I took a picture of the food they served my husband for dinner one night, and it was a cup-sized chili, a small croissant with such a thin layer of either chicken salad or tuna salad on it that you couldn't even see it without lifting the bread, and a juice. The facility was clean. The first thing they tell you is they will keep your loved ones safe, but they did not do that. I was just so upset that my husband spent six days in the hospital until I could find another place to put him, and when we got that done, he only lived about nine days and died, and I blame it all on the fall. Another resident shoved him, went into the wall, hit his head, and then fell to the floor on his hands and knees. I had seen him that day, and he was functioning as good as he always has. He walked, he talked, he ate, and he could express his opinions. After that fall, I went to the hospital and saw him in an emergency room. I could not understand him because all he was talking about was gibberish. There was no program in trying to help his memory. I went in one day, and he was sitting all by himself in the dining room. On another day, he was in the dining room looking out the window. Nobody else was with him. If I had to do it over again, he would never have been placed there. The staff was OK. They were friendly, but they didn't give him much help. All they did was babysit. They didn't keep him safe. He was a big eater, and he would eat anything, but when I saw what they were giving him for dinner, that's all he had. As far as personalities go, the staff was very friendly, but they certainly did not do a good job with memory care. They were not trained for it. The only thing I ever saw them do was play balloon volleyball. They had puzzles set up and Legos and stuff like that, but nobody was ever there to help them. I saw one lady who was working on a jigsaw puzzle by herself. I think with the balloon volleyball, it was just my husband, and when I came in, I joined in, but the rest was all staff."

"I toured this facility. I think it was impressive. It was a newer building. It had an excellent floor plan as far as apartments, and the courtyard in the middle, which we liked a lot. Also, what stood them apart from all the others is that they had this special monitor that could detect a resident's movements and help if the person might fall or if there was maybe a heart problem while they're in bed that would record their heart rate. I thought that was a benefit that no one else provided. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was modern and clean. I liked the system that they had that nobody else had. It seemed like they had at least the activities, and I thought that was nice as well."

"We chose Farmington Hills Inn for my brother mainly because of the money and the care. It was the best that we saw for us. You can't get in the building because of the virus. I've only talked to him one time through the window. I haven't had contact with the staff except the day we moved him in and signed the papers. The admittance people were very helpful. From what we saw, it looked very clean and everybody we saw in the hallways were helpful when we were bringing in his stuff. If we have a problem, they only need a three-day notice, and then we can move him to our second choice facility. In terms of value for the money, it fits in his budget."

"I visited Sunrise of West Bloomfield. The staff was very welcoming and warm. They gave us a tour, were very nice, and answered all of our questions. The facility was beautiful. Unfortunately, it was out of our price range. The community areas where the people could gather or where they went to eat stood out to me. They offered different activities like bingo or had people visit to play the piano for them. The rooms were pleasant. You had to bring your own furniture, but they were very nice and had windows. The staff was very nice to my mother and treated her very well. They had a dog that wandered around, and everybody could pet him whenever they wanted. "

"I toured Sunrise of Northville yesterday. It was a lovely place. The director who showed us around was very informative, very helpful, and very upbeat. The staff that she introduced us to all seem to be very, very friendly and caring. They had been there for years. One has been there nine years, another has been there 12 years, and another one has been there seven years. They're long term staff members. We saw two different rooms, and they're suites more or less. I don't know if they're supposed to be two bedrooms, but it would be very cramped to try putting a living room area in the small section as you walked in the door. For someone with assisted living needs, I suppose it would be OK. A group was involved in exercise shortly after we arrived. We did go to the memory care section where they were just finishing up lunch. That is pretty much what we saw. She did tell us there is a salon. I believe there is an activity room. They were more or less exercising around the entrance, which is a big area. I don't think we actually saw an exercise room."

"I decided to check out StoryPoint in Northville when I was trying to find an assisted living for my dad. I have been touring many places and found this location to be very beautiful and nicely set up. I thought the apartments were spacious. All the residents I encountered seemed happy and well cared for."

"This is the third assisted living facility that my husband has lived in within a short period of time, and it's truly "home." I never thought that my husband would move from our home of 32 years, but when it became necessary for him to do so, we finally found StoryPoint of Farmington Hills, and he couldn't be happier. The rooms and common areas are like what you would find in a beautiful hotel, but warm, accommodating, and homey. The entire staff is absolutely amazing. The dining room staff is awesome, and the food--which is very important to my husband--is wonderful. The activities, which are also very important to my husband, are also great, and the staff puts so much of themselves into them. What sets StoryPoint of Farmington Hills apart is the caring staff members, who put their hearts into everything that they do. StoryPoint of Farmington Hills is truly like a family, and my husband couldn't be happier."

"My uncle is in memory care at Arden Courts of Livonia and it seems to be good. The place is clean and does not smell. The food looked good and the people are nice. There are places for the people to walk outside. They have daily activities scheduled for them. The rooms are good for one person."

"Fairmont of Farmington Hills is within our top 2 choices. There was a very strict Covid protocol to get in, with very extensive questions and you had to take your temperature. It was very grand. It had these gorgeous staircases that look like something out of Gone With The Wind. Of course, they had elevators too. The place seems very clean. It had locked-in courtyards in memory care and open courtyards for assisted living. They had lots of activity rooms, and there was a beauty salon. The person who was supposed to show us around didn't arrive, because she was caught up in a conference call."

"It was all on one level. I went there for a program. They had people sitting on the porch and playing cards in the dining room. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. I had a call back for any question I had, and they would be willing to answer. It looked nice and was laid out pretty well. I've been living in a 1600 square foot house, and one of my problems is going down to a 600 square foot room, but I have to get used to that downsizing effect. However, it was a nice apartment, and it was enough to do some things. The bedroom seemed a little small for a queen sized bed though, which I'm used to. It would be great for a double bed or a twin bed. They had nameplates at the dining tables, which was interesting so you know where to go to sit. There were a couple of tables in the dining room that they were using to play cards. I liked that I could afford the cost, and it's not too far away from where my son lives. Also, I have some friends that live in Farmington Hills. "

"We're quite satisfied with Pleasant Valley Family Care. It's like a nursing home, only it's a private home and they're licensed by the State. They give my husband everything that a nursing home would. It's pretty good right there. I have high respect for all of them. His room is not huge, but it's plenty big. He has a La-Z-Boy chair, a chest of drawers, a table, a bed, and his own bathroom. It's the cleanest place I've ever been. When you enter, you have to either take your shoes off or put on those plastic booties. There is a little porch in the front where you could go out and sit if you want. They have a chair out there, and those in wheelchairs can bring their wheelchairs out to the front of the house and look at the outside for a while. The staff is the best. They have a piano player that comes in, they have a guitar player that comes in, and they have somebody that comes in and does stuff with the patients. It's every week that someone is there."

"My elderly father-in-law has been living comfortably at Provision Living at West Bloomfield for over one year. He has been enjoying the community setting including the variety of daily activities and the monthly field trips. The staff has been very supportive as he progresses through the aging process. Especially wonderful is the attention to all of the resident’s health and wellbeing. The PVL-West Bloomfield site has recently become part of the Story Point Group and all of his support team have been even more helpful during the transition. One of the most satisfying improvements has been the new menu of food that the in-house chef prepares daily. They also are so attentive that if a resident has a special request, the team does everything they can to help out each resident. Our family has been so impressed with the kind care that my father-in-law receives… it is very reassuring to know that this phase of life can be made less stressful for everyone involved. Thanks again to David and his entire team!"

"My mom moved to Golden Grace by Majestic Residences. They've been very caring. They're also very good at helping with the transition because we just moved there. The food was very good. There was no smell. Everything was clean and dusted. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. It's not a large facility, but for a group home, it's laid our very well."
