Azpira Place of Breton has been great. My mom has moved into their memory care. It's more intimate and the memory unit is quite small. It has a community kitchen and living room, and they encourage the residents to help set the table and do the dishes. They do baking, crafts, and exercises. They really encourage the residents to be actively involved with a lot of stuff, which I like. They do Mom's pill management, and they have a doctor who comes twice a week to check on the residents. They have a nurse on-site, which is good. I like that everything is included and not a la carte. The staff is wonderful, especially the director of the memory care program. We like that the staff works three 12-hour shifts, which gives the residents a little more consistency.

Elmcroft was fine before it went into new management, and then it went downhill. My father became very upset with them. They had a memory care facility which he went into, but the care was lacking. It's clean, but the food has gone down, and my father didn't care for it. They go on little excursions and field trips to different places.

Elmcroft of Kentwood was nice. They were nice. Everything was nice about this place. The facilities were very nice. The rooms were nice. The people were very courteous. They had a very nice staff. They were very friendly. I think they had things for senior citizens like bingo and other types of games that they did play. I would recommend them.

Mother is in Elmcroft, it is affordable, and the location is workable for us. It's very clean and welcoming when you come in. The rooms are of various sizes, and the bathrooms are very good in size; they're very large. She gets her nails done and does Bingo, and I know she has done flower arranging. They serve 3 meals a day, they have gardening, and they have shopping, but she hasn't done that yet. The staff is informative, and I am very happy with that. They need to improve on the food because my mom likes home cook meals, and they try to make it a little fancy.

Staff is very friendly and responsive.
Only low def. tv available - seems cheap considering many residents have vision/hearing problems.
Food is the biggest concern. There are not many options available and tastes institutional. Chef is friendly but seems to be on a tight budget. Coffee isn't very good either.
Medical issues are addressed well.
I really think they're trying to improve.
Email contacts and better communication would help.

Elmcroft of Kentwood was a very nice facility with very friendly staff. There was a waiting list, so we have to wait until somebody moves out or passes away before I can place my folks. Elmcroft was beautiful and clean, and the staff was very helpful. They were in the middle of a management change, and they were showing us around, so there was a lot of the information that she couldn’t give to us because she was just somebody who had to be there for the weekend. I might have rated them higher if they had an experienced staff or somebody who was working for the facility.

Elmcroft of Kentwood is excellent. I don't have any complaints whatsoever. My mother is living there. The rooms are spacious and well lit with natural sunlight. Food, according to Mother, is excellent, and the dining room is very attractive. There are options for activities.

Elmcroft is clean and friendly. They have a calendar of events. They take them out to places and do some crafty things inside. They do have transportation if they need to go to the doctor. The people were very knowledgeable. They have a good selection of different types of rooms. They did invite me for a meal, but I didn't go.

We visited Elmcroft, and it was a very nice facility. The rooms were much smaller, but the grounds were very nice. It is a newer facility as well. Their dining area looked very nice and very clean. The ground was very large. They had a center courtyard, and it was very nice. We met the staff. They seemed very caring and nice as well. They had an entire calendar of activities that were planned for all the residents and some of those activities were going on like the sing along and things like that.

Elmcroft was very nice, very clean, and smelled good -- which was important. The staff was very sweet. They seemed to be conscientious and very kind. I would recommend it for them to look at. I would say it would be somebody else's decision, but it was very nice -- definitely worth looking at. I thought the rooms were very nice, and the sitting areas were nicer. I liked that.

I visited Elmcroft. The rooms were very nice because they had just remodeled them, and the dining room was an indoor type. Their rooms, I think, were bigger.

Elmcroft was a beautiful place. The director, who showed us around, was very helpful. We went through everything, and I liked that it was luxurious, and the building was just gorgeous. They were top of the line. We saw some of the artwork and some of the photography, but we didn't see anything going on when we were there, and we just couldn't afford it.

Elmcroft of Kentwood is too expensive for us. I was not that really impressed with this facility because the rooms were one bedroom and I wasn’t really impressed with those types of rooms. The girl that took me on a tour, I didn’t think that she was all that friendly. I wasn’t really impressed with her, but the facility is pretty clean and well kept.

Since we would be in the area checking out another facility, we made it a point to visit Elmcroft of Kentwood in the same region. We were looking for a place for my friend's mother.
We liked that they prepare care plans around what each person needs â€" and that they are flexible enough to change the level of care as becomes necessary. The staff was very friendly and we could see that the residents are all happy there.
The grounds were well tended and we could see that there is plenty of room for residents to spread out and enjoy activities with friends and family, such as picnics, or enjoy the many seating areas.
The common areas were nicely decorated and home-like. There were many places for residents to enjoy a variety of activities, from games to reading and seeing films.
The apartments were all clean, well-kept and conveniently designed. They take the time to personalize to each resident's tastes.
The activity calendar featured many healthy and stimulating activities. We liked that the staff encourages participation and tries to make everything interesting for its residents. The residents go on trips to visit the many art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy the many cultural events offered.
Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered.
The dining areas were warm and friendly. We were able to try some of the snacks which were all delicious. The staff takes the time to offer foods that look appetizing.
We enjoyed our visit at this facility and would recommend that people in the area who are looking for a good home for an elderly person check it out.

My brother moved into Azpira Place of Breton. It is wonderful, and hes in memory care. Were very pleased with it. The staff is very caring, and the administrator knows everybody. Its a small community, and its great. His room is perfect for one person. Its nice because it has two bedrooms, but theres a sitting room in between them. Its not like he has a roommate, and its not like a single.
