I visited people who live in McBrite Manor. It has a separate place for people who are a little bit handicapped. The place was more reasonable. I think it was a thousand dollars a month. That's for a 1-bedroom. The employees were very friendly. They usually would come make your beds at 8 o'clock or so, but if you told them that you didn't get up until 10, they'd wait and come then. They tried to make themselves available to you when you needed them. They had all your meals. The one thing that I didn't like about that place is I didn't like the food. They didn't have any imagination, and it was like it came from Gordon's Food Service or Sam's Club. They had activities for the women. They had a gym. They had several pieces of equipment that you could exercise on. They had entertainment. They had small bands come in. There's one band, and it plays music for people our age, because I don't like music from this era, and most of the people sing along. Then they also have people come in and give talks on how to handle your retirement and things like that.

Our parent lived at McBrite 5 years. Many changes of late, more focus on $$$ instead of residents, atmosphere eroding, complaints about food. Our parent needed to move to AL unexpectedly but there was no consideration given for food not consumed nor for emptying the apartment 3 weeks early. Half of $1000. deposit was retained to repair a small issue with closet door. The most outstanding attribute for McBrite is the housekeeping staff who are excellent, going above and beyond. The clerical staff was always nice, willing to help elders.

My sister-in-law officially moved into McBrite Manor on June 1st. It's actually a gorgeous place. We were surprised with all that she got. She's got everything that she needs with her room. The meals are served, they are clean, and the staff do many things. I've not seen lots of other places, but I've gone to enough and I find this facility amazing. Being able to get hold of office personnel is maybe the only thing they need to improve on. There were just a couple of times I tried to reach them; it may have been because she was new and they have moved in a lot of people at the same time. I like to be able to call and get explanations quicker from them, but I know there's an explanation and it's been basically not a big problem.

My Dad used to be a patient of The Lutheran Home. I have already moved him from there. They didn't have long term bed and prior to that he had fallen 4 times there. Everyday for dinner he had some type of sandwich.The lunch would be nice but for dinner it's just sandwiches. I didn't really care much about the food but the fact that he fell 4 times was a big concern on our part.

I think that the Lutheran Home Facility is an excellent choice for placement for someone who is looking for a placement for a friend or family member. While there, I noticed that the Beautiful country setting was very clean and very well landscaped and beautifully coordinated and it is structured to fit their residents' individual needs. Their residents' rooms were very nicely decorated and very clean and do not smell. They also offer a secured specialized unit especially designed for those residents needs within the early stages of Alzheimer's and with various other forms of Dementia. Their staff is very nice and professional, team and task oriented in their job duties and performances. They treat their residents like family and appear to be very social with their residents. They also offer Rehabilitation, Respite Care and a vast majority of other services and they are also available to fit the specific needs of their residents. In general, I would rank Lutheran Home in Livonia, Michigan with a five stars rating for their expertise and excellence. I would recommend this facility to any senior that is looking for placement especially for someone within the early stages of Alzheimer's and Dementia.
