Memory Care Communities in South Lyon, MI

"The rooms at Provision Living at Canton did have a patio that led outside to a courtyard so my parents could let the dog out and that was important to us. The facility was beautiful. The staff really seemed to know the residents well, like the person who toured us knew the people in the building and they knew her. The residents were coming up and talking to me and telling me about living there. It seemed very homey. They had a salon and a library."

"We toured Sunrise of Northville. What we liked about it was the amount of medical care they have on staff 24 hours a day, and they would accept our little dog. The floor plans are small. You've got to be able to imagine yourself in a smaller place. It's a bedroom, and it's a front room. It's the combination of a small kitchen and dining room. The upkeep was quite good."

"I loved everything about Orchard Hills Living, but the only thing was they don't take insurance. It is out of my pocket. Other than that, the staff was very knowledgeable, very pleasant, and courteous. It's a private home with a yard in there. It's very clean and smelled very good."

"The staff at The Avalon of Commerce Township was outstanding. The amenities and facilities were top-notch. The staff was very informative and very helpful. They offered more post-tour assistance, so I'm still in contact with them. They had a full range of amenities and activities for the seniors to keep them active. They had a gym, a salon, a movie theater, and outside activities. They took them shopping and stuff."

"Atria Park of Ann Arbor is very warm and inviting. It's very clean and comfortable feeling very much like a home. The staff and residents were all very pleasant. It has four floors, so there's a central common area and two wings on each floor with all individual apartments. There's a dining room and a sunroom. They have a garden area in the back and then every floor has a common area in the center with a couple of little extra nooks. They have a library. It's more expensive, and so the people you get in there are more of the wealthier people, but everybody seemed extremely happy."

"Crystal Creek is an amazing place for any elderly person to call home. They have a beautiful campus and a energetic staff. I would strongly recommend sending another family member to this facility."

"Bickford of Canton was well-maintained. The residents were all engaged in activities. The food variety was very nice. The staff was very friendly. It was a very homey feeling. They were very knowledgeable. The apartment size was really nice. The rooms were very adequate."

"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."

"The staff at Brookdale Farmington Hills North (Formerly Clare Bridge of Farmington Hills I and II) seems very caring, nice, and very accommodating. The facility is kept up well. They have more activities than any of the other places that I looked at. It's a very nice place. I tried the food and it seems good. I haven't heard any complaints from my parents. In the dining room, they seat people who have similar memory issues, and they seem to mesh people up pretty well. There are two buildings. There's one at 27950 and one at 27900, which are identical buildings. They just have slightly different staff and residents. "

"Vibrant Life Superior Township was quite nice. The people that I met there and the people that I talked to were very kind and very helpful. I visited the memory care and it was clean and pleasant. It looked like the residents were well taken care of. It has a nice outdoor courtyard. The gentleman that is in charge was very kind and very nice. It was not the most updated/modern facility, but it was nice."

"Provision Living at Livonia was beautiful, newer, and modern. Their food menu had excellent choices. My father-in-law would have loved everything on there. He would have been very happy with that. The thing that I liked that the other place didn't have is Provision has an emergency response system. They have fall sensors. They have heat detection. If somebody is laying on the floor in an area they shouldn't be, that will advise them. Both places I toured include a push button necklace, but the heat detection and the fall sensors gave us peace of mind. It was all a single floor. They told me that there's a doctor there three days a week. There is a nurse on-staff. She works over 50 hours a week plus is on-call 24/7. They allow video cameras in your loved one's suite. Just make sure that there's a sign on the outside of the door to let people know that it's being recorded. My father-in-law was thrilled because he wants someone to be able to check on him and he wants family to know how he's doing. For me, those points were very important. We didn't meet as much staff there as we did at the other place, but when we came in, people greet you, and they're friendly. They offer you some cucumber water, which I thought was sweet. You can see a gentleman and his mom, I assume, doing a puzzle right there in the lobby. They took us into one of their rooms that had meeting facilities. We primarily dealt with the salesperson. As we walked through, they did have a craft class going on and we joked with them, "Here's the troublemakers," and people laughed. They were sweet. There were several men and women, which surprised me a little bit. They only had one studio room available. Even though this place is only three years old, they're already replacing the flooring. In the rooms, they're changing out flooring from carpeting to luxury vinyl plank. It's easier for wheelchairs and it's easier to clean up. It doesn't have staining. Seeing how much they were already looking for ways to improve their facility impressed me, like the bathroom layout, the ability to get your wheelchair in, all of that was very good quality. They had large closets. It definitely has a price tag, enough that it's a little breathtaking, but I think the quality that was there was very evident."

"My mother is doing fine at Sunrise of West Bloomfield. The staff members are caring, very professional, and very attentive. The director and the lady that sits at the desk are really nice. It's very well kept. She's supposed to be moving rooms. They have her in a double suite right now, so it's spacious, but she's going to be going in a studio. They clean the rooms twice a week. The dining area is nice. It looks like a restaurant type area. The grounds are very well kept, and there are pretty flowers. It's homey looking. My mom likes the food. They have a main entree, but they give them other choices if they don't care for that. The have crafts, they have an exercise class that she's been going to, and they have bingo. It's kind of expensive. We chose it because of the location, and it was upon a recommendation."

"Just checked my mother in. Great rooms, great food, family atmosphere. Can't go wrong here. My mother loves it here."
