Northville Pointe Senior Living

I toured this facility. I found that their floor plan for assisted living was different from all the other ones that I had seen. They had two floors, the first floor and the second floor. On each floor, they had ten residents and each of the ten residents would eat their main meals together. They had a living room and activities room for each group of ten that were in that area. They would have like 30 residents on the first floor and 30 residents on the second floor. They didn't have to go to the main room on the first floor. They could just stay in this area for each hallway. They have like six hallways each. It was very different from all the others. That was kind of interesting to me, that way the resident wouldn't have to go all over the place to find, say the dining room, or something like that, or the activities room. It was all in that area, so they didn't have to walk very far. The atmosphere is upbeat, very friendly, and clean. It seemed like they had a lot of activities. This might have been the same with the other places too, but one of the activities is brain health. I liked how they were focusing on helping the residents. The other part was exercise. They had like a certain exercise program that would help residents because they felt that if they had strong muscles or at least worked on their muscle groups and stuff they would be able to avoid residents having a fall or just help with their mental activity.

It was beautiful and we loved it. Mom loved it, and it felt like everything about it was just perfect. The room that we saw was like being at home. It was just very, very welcoming, comfortable, and inviting. It blew me away. It was just really nice. Regarding the options that they offered as far as furnishings, we loved that you had the option to bring your own things, or they could provide them, or you could mix and match. That really was a huge plus. The way the dining was set up was extremely convenient. You didn't have to go downstairs to one dining room. Every floor had different dining rooms for different sections of the building. They had little stuffed animals that they can hold that are stress-relief animals. They let Mom hold one for a good portion of the tour, and it was just really wonderful. We were able to see some people out on the back patio playing bingo, and we got to see the library that they have where you can just sit in a nice, serene area and read. We saw the recreation room where they do their exercise. There were several activity options for her so she wouldn't have to do the same thing every day.

When we got to the facility for the tour, nobody was around, but down the hallway, I could see three young staff ladies chatting with each other. Nobody came over to ask who we were or what we wanted. We were ready to walk out when the lady who was doing the tour came around and saw us. It was much cheaper, price-wise, but the appearance of that common room in the front was tired. There are a lot of beige colors. It was not very modern at all. It struck me more as a look of a nursing home than a senior living place, but it was all very clean and the staff was nice. The size we're looking at, which was a one-bedroom and a living room, their kitchenette only had a small refrigerator and a microwave and that was it. So, the rooms were smaller.

I toured this facility. It was very clean and modern. People were friendly. The room was nice, modern, and clean. The person who assisted us was exceptionally patient, and she explained everything. They had a library and game room.

It is the first place we've looked. It was a small facility. It only held 50 people. The rooms weren't all that big, but I guess they're not going to be that big anywhere. It was pretty clean, and they seemed to have a lot of activities. We didn't see very many staff. They only had a small number of staff. The only one we talked to was the coordinator, and she was very informative. They had a salon. The gym was very limited, but they do exercises or something, they said, in the morning. The dining areas were all over the place. You could sit where you want, and it wasn't like a dining room. They had an outdoor patio.
