Senior Living in Montcalm County, MI

"We have a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment, which is good size., with a very nice kitchen area. We are also provided a parking space in a heated garage, plus a good size separate storage space. The staff working here are very friendly, and caring. The residents all know each other, since we are smaller than some other independent retirement residences. We are very happy having chosen to live at Cascade Trails."

"I visited. The staff was very helpful, she took me to their newly renovated dining area, and the core part of the building. She did a beautiful job at showing me the facility. It was wonderful to see her greet people by name, so it seems like they knew their residents quite well."

"Everything just looked very livable at Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community. Things didn't seem cramped. There seemed to be a lot of open space for moving around. Everything seemed very, very good. I didn't notice anything I didn't like or questioned. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. When I had questions, they were very patient with me."

"Sunrise of Cascade was a great facility. The tour director was very knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. The accommodations were very nice. The workers seemed very happy and involved. They had a lot of activities. They provide a high level of care, and the residents were definitely happy. There was a great menu and the food smelled fantastic."

"The guy at Commonwealth Senior Living at East Paris was phenomenal. He showed me the rooms, he showed me the facilities, and he showed me where they make the dinners. The guy was on top of everything. He gave me all kinds of advice. He spent about an hour and a half talking with me. The room was beautiful. The place was beautiful. It was phenomenal. Everybody was very hospitable. They were very lively, and they were rambunctious. I think they're probably told that, 'Hey, when you see someone walking around, you just express yourself like hey, good morning or hey, good afternoon.' They acknowledged you. That's why that's the place I'm picking for my wife. If she is going to go anywhere, that's where she is going to go."

"I toured Arbor Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's a beautiful facility. It was just too expensive. Their dining area was very nice. The staff was nice. It's a very new facility. They had plenty of activities and private rooms."

"My mother-in-law stayed in Mission Point of Greenville. The staff was very, very friendly and caring and they helped her a lot. The people in rehab worked with her a lot to try to strengthen her. She was in a private room. It was quite expensive, but that's because of the rehab part. We were there when she had her meals, and she enjoyed them, so the food was probably good. It was a nice room. She had a bed, but they would put a mat on the floor. They didn't get any railings or anything to keep her from falling, but I guess that was because they can't restrain people. It was clean. She didn't get involved with anything, but we did see that they had a schedule of things that the residents could do. They took field trips and things like that."

"I was looking for my sister and the residence seems to be very friendly, clean and equipped to handle the needs of the residents. Very homey setting. "

"Golden Life Adult Foster Care has been great. The staff is very helpful and very knowledgeable. I have no complaints. My husband's room is too small for two people, but he's alone now; it's not so bad, and it's very clean. The meals are fresh, not frozen, and they're very good at cooking a decent, healthy meal three times a day. The dining area is like a family table where they all sit around, and they serve the food on their plates. They go for walks, they have outings, and they play games. The dirt driveway is just so bad, but it's a very happy atmosphere."

"We have already placed my mom in an ALF called Our Place Cares. It was our choice primarily because of the location. Also it was recommended to us by the people in the hospital. The place is always clean. All the residents there have dementia-related issues and it is a good fit for my mother. The staff is good. They're friendly and they work very hard there. I thought the residents are well cared for. They try to do things with them but most of the patients are fairly far along in their dementia, so I don't know if they could participate all that much in anything. My mom for one doesn't participate. I think the best thing about this facility is the staff and the neatness of the place. They even have visiting doctors that would make house calls. I would recommend this place. "

"I went to Green Acres of Greenville. The staff was very friendly. Their food seems to be more than adequate. It's very healthy and well-balanced. I've eaten there. It's very good. They have games, puzzles, and live music. They have different gatherings for different arts and crafts, which you don't have to take part in if you don't want to. They have exercise groups. And that's just what I'm aware of. I'm not there every day. But I know they usually have a lot going on all the time for everyone. The apartment is beautiful. It's huge. It's bigger than my friend's house was. He has a nice-sized bedroom and a good-sized living space with enough room for a small table and a small kitchenette. I was just thinking that if there was a place I had to go, that would be the place that I would choose to go."

"My husband is in Twin Oaks. It’s a nice, small place with 15 or 20 people at the most. They have a big table where they are served their meals. "

"My dad moved to Rest Assured Assisted Living. It's only 11 minutes from my home and the facility is like a home. Like a regular residence of the person would be in. The staff is caring. The rooms are nice and it doesn't have like some of these places you walk into, and the first thing that you smell is urine. This place is clean. They're always keeping everything clean and updated. They have a church group that comes in and does craft activities. They try to play bingo once a month. They have a neighbor that comes in that's a church group, and they play music. In nice weather, they have an outdoor seating area and they have a bonfire. They have raised garden beds where residents can plant their gardens. They have exercise programs that residents can join in on exercises for their age group. They are all very caring. They listen well when you're explaining things about your parents or the person on what is going on. They take notes. They show you the facility where the medication is capped and how it's all locked up and only certain people have the key and they're scheduling for certain items."
