The Best Memory Care Communities in Washtenaw County, MI

"Linden Square Assisted Living was very nice and very clean. The people seemed nice and very friendly. The environment in the memory care was clean and neat. The common areas were nice, but the long hallways were not as colorful and as inviting as they could be. It was a little bit institutional looking and not as homey as it could be, perhaps. I would like to see a place that's a little more colorful, a little more upbeat, and more pleasant. So, the environment could be improved a little bit, but they had very, very pleasant staff. They were very helpful and very understanding."

"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."

"The rooms here 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."

"I went to Serenity Manor. It's a home with a max of six residents. They have two owners, and one of them lives there. She lives in the upstairs apartment. There is always two to three staff, so you have a great ratio of staff to residents. Currently, none of the residents are ambulatory. Most of them are advanced dementia patients and need to be lifted with a Hoyer. Right now, it's not ideal for them, but that's what they're getting. Right now, advanced memory care is what they're getting now. I couldn't even talk to the patients because they were so demented. It's a higher level of care and a lot of one-on-one. I think one of the rooms is shared. It's extremely clean. When you walk in, you were in the kitchen common area. Off to the right are the dining room and the living room, and then behind the kitchen is an L-shaped hallway with bedrooms. There are two bathrooms, too. It's very clean and very nice. If I had somebody who needed 24-hour care like that, that'd be great. I was impressed with the staff, too. "

"Bickford of Canton is nice. I liked it a lot. I think it would be my first choice. It's family-focused and pet friendly like they don't mind visiting dogs. They have studios and apartments. They're on the smaller side, and that's partly because they encourage residents to get out. There are lots of activities. There are lots of little socialization places as well as bigger ones. There's a door to the apartment, but once you're in the apartment, there are no doors, so managing a wheelchair or going around in the wheelchair, you don't have to worry about a door. I found it weird, but at the same time, it makes sense. They take trips into the community. They have transportation that will take you places. They'll go to the symphony or go to a local play. It kind of gives everybody a chance to get out. There are lots of activities, probably more than any of the other ones I saw. The staff were great. They were wonderful. It was clean and homey, and everybody seemed to be happy. "

"Glen Abbey in Canton has been a life-saving choice. My spouse was in need of a place to live and I needed help to care for him. Glen Abbey has proven to be the ideal place for us. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed and offered great support and comfort. We quickly felt a sense of belonging. They look after my spouse with compassion and tenderness. They work very hard to get to know him by talking and listening to him. If there is anything I need, they are willing to help me and always with a kind attitude. The same kindness and friendliness are shown to visitors that come to see my spouse. They keep the facility clean, the meals are good and they offer a variety of activities. I would recommend Glen Abbey to anyone. They will guide you and support you through a challenging time in your life. I finally can find a sense of relief and calm because of the special people at Glen Abbey who care for my spouse. "

"My mom is 88 and she just loves living at StoryPoint. Her room is very spacious, well laid out and very clean. The interaction with the staff is constant and everyone is always friendly. There is in-house medical care which was very important to us. The food is very good with many daily options and the Head Chef and staff are always doting on you."

"A&R Premiere Care just had new add-ons to their facilities. What I liked the most about it was the lady that runs it is a nurse and then her husband is also a healthcare person. I think he's a physical therapist or something. They were both very nice and very helpful."

"We chose this for mom because the facility was small and of single level. It's a memory care facility and I like the people there. It's a pod of 20 people in what they call a neighborhood which has a living room, dining room, and bedrooms. They have games, field trips, and crafts. We also tried playing bowling with them. "

"I think Sunrise Assisted Living of Northville is an excellent choice for someone who is looking for placement for a friend or family member. While there, I noticed that the staff and management were always visible to the residents and very polite to the residents as well. The facility is located out from downtown Northville and Plymouth MI and very beautiful inside and outside. The residents receive excellent care there and I know that they like it there. The staff and management there are very professional team, task oriented in their job duties and performances. It has a suburban style setting and looks like a very comfortable home instead of a facility’. Sunrise Assisted Living of Northville offers their residents a vast majority of recreational activities among various other activities as well. Their residents are treated like family and they seem to enjoy it there too. The facility is very well coordinated and designed beautifully interior and exterior the surrounding neighborhoods is also beautiful as well. It offers such a homey and most comfortable atmosphere as well. Anyone and everyone would love to be there in such a real home setting. The food there looked excellent and the facility was also clean and did not smell. In general, I would have to rank this facility a five stars rating for its expertise and its excellence. Anyone and everyone would like to live in this facility and their residents receive excellence and expertise care there also I also noticed while I was there that the residents were watching a movie and being served a variety refreshments as well.

"My mom has been here for two years now by herself and we love this place. She has early Alzheimer's, but doesn't need memory care yet. It is quiet and well maintained, but there are plenty of activities to keep the residents involved (my mom loves exercise, crafts and bingo). She is very social and has made some great friends. The food was tough initially as it's restaurant style (no ordering ahead) and even though we'd build a meal plan for my mom, she wouldn't remember, but the staff was willing to work with me and now we have a good plan. My mom always says everyone is so nice and very helpful. No one is ever rude or dismissive. The leadership team is great as well. Always willing to help and take my emails or calls. Highly recommend!"

"My sister was a former resident of Hampton Manor Premier Assisted Living of Brighton. The facility itself was modern and spacious. The people were good. The food was good. Lunch was typically sandwiches. For dinner, the main course was two sides. It was fine. The place was as clean as you would keep your own house. It has a comfortable atmosphere. As far as the memory care room, it was very adequate."

"It was a very nice place, and the people were nice. However, I didn’t get to see the memory care unit, which is what I needed and have acquired if I was going to put my loved one in that type of facility. They did show me a unit, and they said it would be comfortable to whatever would be in the memory care unit, but I didn’t get to see the part that I needed to see. It was a self-contained room that included a bathroom within the room. It had a separate bathroom, but it was within that unit, and other than that, it was just a large room. It was community dining, and it looked-like it was inviting; however again, I am not sure if the people that would be a part of the memory care part of the facility would have eaten in the community dining room. The place did not meet my needs because I didn’t really get to see what I was looking for, but overall it was a very nice place. The residents that were partaking of the community dining seemed like they were well adjusted. "
