Grand Pines Assisted Living

The staff are very courteous and helpful. The food has also improved quite a bit since the hiring of a new chef. Recently, they have started having family events for the residents. The most recent was for Mother's Day weekend where the staff hosted a brunch for the residents and their visiting family members. Excellent food and decorations.

Grand Pines is a great place for my mom to call home. The staff are kind, caring and friendly. They take good care of her needs. The food is very good. I sometimes have a meal there with her. The activities are many and enjoyable. The staff knows she enjoys them but can forget to go, so they come by to remind her of activities. They go on trips to restaurants and have musical groups come in. Families are encouraged to join in special events like the Easter Tea, Car Show, and Mother’s Day Brunch. These have all been beautifully presented with delicious food. I look forward to attending with Mom. We had our family Christmas Party in the Family Dining Room which worked well and made it so Mom could attend. I can’t say enough good things about Grand Pines.

The Mother's Day brunch was wonderfully done. The food was phenomenal and the staff went out of their way to make this a special event.

We have moved my mom into Grand Pines two years ago. They're very nice. Their facility is nice. It's not quite as nice as the other facility and it's older. The staff there is pretty good. Like everybody else, they're having staffing issues, and the manager just left there. The new guy is coming in, and I think there's a meet and greet later this week, and I'd like to do that. He seems very, very competent. My mom enjoys that place. It's nice because it's in Grand Haven, and she grew up in Grand Haven, so she knows some other people who live there. That's the big factor right now that she has a little bit more social contact now that COVID is better. The rooms are nice. There are several different floor plans, so you can choose anything from a studio. She has a one-bedroom. They have two beauty shops. They were doing a quarterly community event, and they would have people come in and do different things. They have an ice cream social. They have some other things that they do like grandkids can come in for Halloween and dress in their costumes, and they get a kick out of that. Unfortunately, she's been there two years and the year and a half of that was COVID, so of course, all of that stopped at that point, and they're just starting to do that again. The location is nice because it's right in Grand Haven, so it's centrally located. My mom's doctors are there and that kind of stuff, so that's been pretty convenient for her. It's not convenient for me because I don't live there, but it is very nice. They had the chef leave and now they have a different one, and she makes things a little bit different. My mom complains that they have a lot of rice and pasta, but the food is good, and what she eats, she likes. The facility itself is very nice. It's a little more institutional than the other facility. It's an older building. Her room is very nice, and she's got two rooms. It's very expensive but it does include a lot of things.

My father is being taken care of very well at Grand Pines. The staff is excellent. The living atmosphere is nice. His room is very nice. It has everything that the residents could need. They have a TV, games, and nice sitting areas, but they don't do much. The residents are in wheelchairs and they just sit around, but they are doing a great job with my father.
