Arden Courts of Livonia

When I walked through Arden Courts of Livonia the residents were holding their heads down and were just sitting outside of their rooms. The place had all these locked doors; one person was trying to get out and they were trying to keep him in. The people who came to our house to do a follow up was very nice, but the place did not give us a good feeling at all. There were no TVs allowed and other things to keep the residents busy were not allowed.

The rooms were kind of small at Arden Courts, and the place was very high. They did seem like they really were caring for your Alzheimer patients there. It was just as clean and nice as the one up North, but what swayed me to look more up North is basically the price because it is like $1,200 cheaper to keep her up there than to bring her down here. It looked like everybody that was there was very happy and sociable, and they do have activities. We didn't get to view any of the activities while we were there. If price wasn't a problem, yes I would recommend it.

I visited Arden Court assisted living facility on November 8, 2011. In general, I thought the facility was very well organized and the staff working in the facility showed professionalism in all areas of their professions. . The grounds of the facility are beautiful and the landscape was well maintained and coordinated. The common areas of the facility had a beautiful layout and structure. The neighborhood surrounding the facility was also beautiful. In the resident’s rooms the carpet drapes, and bedspreads were of the entire same decor that match the paint on the wall. The decor was also in earth tone colors. The residents' rooms are very clean and very well kept and did not smell. The overall structure of the facility I would give it a five star rating. The staff and management of the facility are professional and task oriented in all specific areas of their job duties. I think the residents get excellent care and the staff and management treat the residents like family. While I was there, I noticed that the residents were very well groomed and they appeared to be clean and dry without any body odor. I also noticed that the recreation room and activity room are in state compliance and are also supervised by staff members. Overall, Arden Court is an appropriate placement for anyone and I would recommend it to anyone because I believe that they would do well there. I would give Arden Court a five star rating in all areas of its expertise.
