Assisted Living Communities in Burton, MI

"My mother-in-law is a resident of The Pines of Goodrich. It is great; it is very nice. The staff members are wonderful. They provide around-the-clock care. My mother-in-law's room is spacious, beautiful, and very clean. Their dining area is very nice, clean, and accommodating. Their dining area is wonderful and more like a restaurant. It is a real gathering place. The food is good too. We never have to worry about my mother-in-law there. They're all wonderful, they know her, and they know us. It has been a real relief. The activities are very nice. It is pretty pricey, but it is worth it."

"My husband is in Springvale Assisted Living & Memory Care. Everybody has been outstanding from the beginning. I had reached out to other places, but this was the one that I felt that really followed through with everything as far as making sure that my husband was going to be well taken care of, that food would be provided, and that he'd be in a situation where he felt comfortable. They met all the criteria for me so that I felt comfortable that I could have him there and go to my surgical procedure. They have three meals a day. They have things that engage the residents as much as they feel comfortable being engaged in things and it might be music or exercise and my husband was a really big music person. They have an enclosed courtyard. They find his comfort zone. They have all kinds of activities for them to be involved in. As you enter assisted living, you have to be let in. They make sure that you sign in and they know who you are. They escort you down to the memory care separate from that and you have to be let in and they make sure they know who you are. Once you get inside, there's a common area where people can sit and be involved as much as they want to be. There is a TV and they have their staff there to make sure everybody's comfortable with being there. They don't force you to do anything. Then you can go down to his apartment and it's just wonderful. He has his own apartment with his own bathroom there for basic functions, not to take a bath, but he can use the restroom in his apartment. There's also a place where he has his bed. There's a window with blinds if he wants to look out over that. He has his own closet and he has furniture that they have brought in or we could have brought. He felt comfortable already with one of the easy chairs that they had there. Nothing's forced on him. He just feels comfortable there. The staff will come down, make sure everything's all right with him, and ease him into activities as he wants to be eased into them, but also knowing that they can be trusted. He's sort of made a friend that he can also relate to in some ways as much as he can. They together can walk around because my husband still wants to get his three miles in on the inside. Everything is, I think, the best of the best. They reach out, as I need to know things. They had called me last night and said, "We just want you to know that he had had a little fall, but he's all right. You don't have to come right now. We've got him seated and he's doing all right. He doesn't seem to be injured." It's excellent food. They also make sure that they invite family for a holiday meal and sit with them. I just can't say enough good things about them. I looked at a place up by where we have a seasonal home, how it would compare and they were going to charge a lot more for a lot less service. Stephanie is the manager. I wanted to have an overall picture of what it was costing for tax purposes, if there was anything that I could offset. She went out of her way to make sure that I came in and she could go over everything. Courtney is another lady who is over the activities throughout the building, but with memory care. Everybody was wonderful and they went out of their way to make sure that I understood what was coming and going with events. They have special things for their residents who feel comfortable being a part of Thanksgiving or a meal. They always reach out to me and my other family members to make sure that they let me know what's going on. This is the best place for a loved one who is struggling with memory issues. I just feel good about where he is. They sent me a picture that they had taken, and it was of our son with my husband together on Father's Day. It's the most wonderful picture."

"The manager and supervisor from Courtyard Manor of Fenton came to visit me, and then the next day, the supervisor came with papers to sign. I could see no other recourse, and that sounds really good to me, so exactly a week later, I moved in. I'm very happy. Everybody is very pleasant. Everybody smiles. Everybody does whatever they can to be helpful. This is a really, really grand place to be. We had a birthday party yesterday for a lady. She turned 106. They had a big party, her whole family came to visit, and everybody partied down. There were young and older kids, and it was really cool. The staff is excellent. The food is excellent, too. It has a nice, big backyard. You can go out and enjoy the sun or the moon or whatever it is that's going on. It has a patio that's got a roof over it. Even if it's raining or snowing, you can go out on the back porch and enjoy the outdoors. That's absolutely beautiful."

"My Mother was diagnosed with Lew Bodies Dementia. One of the more challenging Dementias to manage. The staff were OUTSTANDING with my Mother's ever changing needs. While visiting with my Mother on many occasions I was able to witness first hand the attention not only to my Mother but others who Lived in Courtyard Manor Swartz Creek with her. The staff GENUINELY CARE for those they assist. When I looked for an Assisted Living/Memory Care for my Mother the most important thing to me was not how fancy or expensive the building was or was not but rather how will the staff take care of my Mom. I felt Very much at Peace with my Mother at Courtyard Manor Swartz Creek. It's not the building or the business it's the GIVERS OF CARE. THANK YOU, COURTYARD MANOR SWARTZ CREEK STAFF FOR GIVING MY MOTHER A LOVING HOME. THAT IS WORTH ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD TO ME. "

"Everything was very nice over at Living Waters Buell Lake. The person in charge was very good. The place was clean. I remember they had a nice community room and they had an event going on that day. The kitchen looked very good. They did have a patio that looked out over a lake. The staff who gave me the tour was very family-oriented. The dining room looked like it was very well organized. It was a very clean- looking place and well-lit. It was a very simple place. It had 2 hallways and 19 rooms."

"I love StoryPoint Fenton, but it's too expensive for my brother-in-law. It's beautiful. The whole facility is top-notch. It is very open and welcoming. There is a huge gathering area. The receptionist is right there to greet you. They had the director right away, and they took me to a model room that was set up. It was a one-bedroom and it had a refrigerator. It was very, very nice. However, that was an assisted living senior community, and that was not what I was looking for. I was looking for memory care-assisted living. They would do an assessment of my brother-in-law before he was allowed to live there. He probably could fit into the assisted part of it, but that part was too big for him. It's all one level, which is good, but I think that with him getting himself from his room to where they have to go and eat would have been difficult, because the layout wasn't good for him in the memory state that he is in right now. I also went to memory care. It was beautiful. We walked through it. It was very nice. They have a nice little area where you could go in and sit by a fireplace and watch movies. The kitchen was right there. They only have 16 residents, which is nice. They were finishing up lunch when I got there. They have several little areas where you could sit down and have a conversation or play a game. The windows were on each side of a nice wide hallway. They showed me a room that my brother-in-law would have. It was a studio. Somebody had just moved out of there, and they were in the process of painting it and getting it freshened up for the next person to come in. It had a nice view out the window where you could put a bird feeder or whatever. All of his furniture could go in the room, too. Then the staff showed me where the patio was, and it was very nice. They have a grill out there where they would grill food for the people. It is also backed up to a wooded little area where you could see nature and sit out there. It was very welcoming and very comfortable. I told her that I would move in there myself right now, so that part of it was very, very nice. The residents that were there were more in line with what level my brother-in-law was at physically. He's very mobile, and he has no medical issues with his heart, legs, or lungs -- nothing. It is just his mind right now is having a problem. If money were not an object, I would have him go to StoryPoint just because of the aesthetics of everything."

"I live at Devonshire Retirement Village. We have a lot of activities. We have a calendar for the whole month. On Monday, we're going to the Goodwill, in December we have a Christmas ball, and we all dress up. We go into the other building, and the cooks make a meal for us. We get to dance. We went down and saw a Tiger baseball game twice since I've lived here. We play euchre, and once a month we have forums where if you have any problems you tell Sarah, and she tries to fix whatever the problem is. I have a dog, so they let us have animals. We get to go down and eat lunch in the cafeteria from 12:00 to 1:00, and today we had hamburgers, butterscotch pudding, and cheesy potatoes. They have coffee and orange juice. You have to pay for the soup and salad. They didn't use to charge, but now they charge $3 for the soup and $4 for the salad. The food is not bad. I pay $150 a month, and they bring my supper to my apartment at 4:30. This week on the menu, it says that I'm having tuna melt. I've eaten them here before, and I don't like them. I asked our cook Michael today if I could have something different. He said, "Sure, what would you like?" He's a great cook. Anthony is always in the other building cooking for them, but he comes over here once in a while, and he makes wonderful squash soup and he made it for my birthday. He's a super nice guy. On Sunday nights and Thursday nights, we can put our garbage in the hall, and they pick it up. Every other Tuesday, they come in and clean my whole apartment. They dust and they vacuum. Laura is wonderful. She does an excellent job. She has the key to my apartment, and I totally trust her. I saw her today and she washed the pee pads for my dog because they had urine and feces dried on them. She's a perfect girl. It's a locked place, so nobody can come in to your apartment, like off the street. You have to punch in a code. They have a storage unit here, and mine is loaded. We can put shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, body wash, clothes, suitcases and everything. They do excellent taking care of us. I'm happy with the staff. I've had disagreements with some of them, though. They told me I couldn't let somebody come in here and watch my dog while I went on vacation with my boyfriend unless they were a relative. They have pull cords in my bathroom, my bedroom and my living room. So if I fell or needed anything, someone comes from the building across the street and knocks on my door. They have a key to get in, and they come in and see if I'm all right. I'm happy with the food. I'm totally happy here. I've lived here for three years. I have a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, hall closet and laundry room. We can get manicures once a month. We play bingo. We have a bingo store and they give you bingo bucks and then you can buy stuff. They have all kinds of cookies, crackers, dried fruit, potato chips, and nuts. I pay $3,200 a month. I have to buy my breakfast food and if I want ice cream or extra stuff, I have to buy that myself."

"We've toured Symphony Linden and it was nice. The staff was very helpful and the food was wonderful. They had a gym, a lounge, and a room where you could go and watch movies. It was nice. The place itself was clean, there wasn't anything that was not nice about it."

"Vicinia Gardens of Fenton was a very nice community. The people that were there were also very nice. The facility was clean, spacious, and pretty nice. Their amenities were comparable to bigger places that we've seen, they have a community-type room for the residents, and they have a comfy and nice dining area. The rooms that they had left were private and nice. It would have worked for us but it was so far away."

"Shadowtree Lodge was very good. We were accepted there but they had to decline because they didn't have the 24-hour care that my dad needed. The staff was very friendly. I wish we could have gotten him in that place. It was nice. They had a bunch of board games and stuff. I saw the kitchen and the laundry room. It was just like a regular house. They had a big kitchen table where all the residents had dinner there. It was really nice and really clean. It looked like a lodge in the middle of the woods. It's beautiful."

"My sister has moved into Vibrant Life, The Lodge of Durand. It was by far the best, as far as staff, pricing, and what they had to offer. The other ones were much higher in price, didn't seem to have the room size, and weren't as up-to-date as Vibrant was. I have no complaints with the staff or the food. The food is fine. The activities appear to have helped her; they're excellent."
