The Best Nursing Home Communities in Lapeer County, MI

"I think most of the nurses were really really nice but their level of urgency and knowledge seemed limited. I have visited a few nursing homes over the years and this one by far had the worst smell once you walked into the back halls. However they did have wonderful activities for the residents and were very sweet once my grandmother went on hospice and passed away. "

"My brother moved into WellBridge of Clarkston. I chose it because I thought it was a perfect fit for him, and he's working very well there. It is a very, very nice facility. The staff is excellent. They know what they're doing, and I've had no problems with anybody. It's been great. Their upkeep is wonderful. The place is immaculate. We just actually had Thanksgiving dinner there, and it was great. My brother doesn't have any teeth, so they can prepare the food to what he can eat and how he can eat it. So, it's wonderful. They have gotten him out more than I thought he would ever do and he participates in all kinds of activities. He likes to paint, so they've been painting. He's been making little crafts for all the family members. They play bingo, and they have little prizes for the bingo participants. They also do puzzles."

"My husband is at Fisher Senior Care and Rehab Center. I like it there very much. The staff have been wonderful. It's a very clean place. There's no odor in the place. They call me when they have to make a major change and see what I think about it. I would very much recommend it. However, the only reason I'm requesting a change is because I don't drive. It's hard for me to get over to see him, and I would like to see him every day. My husband has been very limited in what he can say, and he can't walk. He is put in a wheelchair now once a day, and they are trying for more often. He just fell out of a wheelchair because he bent over, so they're trying to get another wheelchair. He's very limited right now. I have talked with the therapist, and they do things with him. They want him to do more, but he's very, very weak. I can't take care of him, and I'm grateful that there are places. I think this is a good place. I like the way they talk to him. I think the value for the money is good."

"My mother is in Orchard Grove, and it's going well so far. It's open, very clean, and it seems to be organized. I think they may be short staffed, but they do a good job with what they have. They have a happy hour on Friday nights, they have some music, I see several bands come in every Friday and Saturday for old-time music, sometimes they have little games in the private areas for someone not as needy, and they have theme nights sometimes. One night was roaring 20's, they all had hats, they had themed decorations, and that was kind of cute. She is in a dual facility, which provides rehab and long-term care."

"My mom has been at the Regency on several occasions. She was treated like family by all staff members. The staff were very friendly, informative and helpful to the family members."

"Wellbridge Of Grand Blanc appeared clean. They appeared to have good staff. They had a variety of activities for the patients. If I could, I would have placed my sister there. Those were the two things that impressed me the most. They had a Starbucks inside the facility, so it reminded me of a nice hotel. The staff members I met were eager to help."

"I have an uncle in this facility and I think it is fantastic! yes, it is older, but you cannot beat the cleanliness and awesome staff. They take the time to see what each person needs and work hard to meet those goals. My uncle isn't as bad off physically, so they take him outside for walks and let him go outside to fill the bird feeders. They have taught him to play cards and other games, got him to participate in other things, that he normally would never have done. They offer so many activities for the residents and really do a lot of celebrating for holidays and birthdays. Love, love, love the staff! "

"The Bortz Health Care nursing home located in Lake Orion, Michigan has done an outstanding job with the residents. My grandfather has been a resident there for nine months now and I visit him frequently. The only concern I have with the staff at this Bortz facility is sometimes they are not as attentive as they should be. There has been several instances I have witnessed residents in need of assistance, usually with changing soiled clothing or needing help using the restroom, and staff left them unattended for up to an hour at a time. As an aging adult, it can already be quite embarrassing to lose control of bodily functions, and to be left sitting in it for any length of time adds to that.Aside from that, the facility is quite nice. Staff is extremely friendly and develops close bonds with residents. There are daily social activities that bring the residents together, often including music, games, and parties. Therapy dogs visit frequently, which many of the residents enjoy a great deal. Residents are given options for each meals, and in the event they are not interested in the menu items, staff will take requests.Overall, my grandfathers stay at Bortz has been a wonderful experience. He enjoys the privacy of his room, the staff, the interaction with other residents, and the meals. "

"The Memory Care Unit has been taking very good care of my Aunt Edith. The most important thing for me is that she enjoys all of the attention. Aunt Edith is Deaf and uses American Sign Language to communicate. Staff go above and beyond to accommodate her. Each and every staff member at Kith Haven has my gratitude for always maintaining positive attitudes."

"The therapy team here is awesome they are very kind and caring. They do therapy according to your needs. They will never fail you. They go above and beyond. The nurses are very kind , caring and considerate for the most part . The activity department is awesome they truly care about the residents. They go above and beyond to involve the residents in the activities and try to get people out and about. I believe they all deserve a raise or more recognition for sure. Speaking of recognition they have a form to fill out for complaints which is good, but they need to have a form where you can recognize the good in people. We as humans will go out of our way to point out the negative things. So just a suggestion we need to have forms to fill out to recognize staff that ho above and beyond the world had so much negative why not add positive things in life. You would be surprised how much of a difference even just a small note of positive recognition makes. Just as any places now days work ethic is at times a thing of the past But there are still aides or cinas that still have work ethic which makes it nice when they are working with you. At times when you come across the ones that don't take their job seriously of course it's.a bummer for you. But there are alot of as I said great aides, which when you have the great ones that take their job seriously it makes a difference in your day. "

"I came year 10 weeks ago in a wheelchair. Started Physical therapy and i progressed extremely well and they have the best therapist ever vamshi and Chris. Now i can walk very good and use my hands now which i was not able to do so. All the staff the administrator Stephen are the best i ever had. In 6 weeks i become the president of the resident council and i love all the residents. This is a beautiful home. I praise it for ever. I am very happy ever, happier than any facility i was ever in."

"My mom came from another large chain facility that so severely neglected her she ended up in the hospital for a week. At 95 that's quite tramatic! Hospital social worker helped us place her at Advantage and its wonderful! The staff is amazing! They treat her with care and respect. They answer her call light. She's keep clean. They answer questions. I would recommend advantage if you want great care for your loved one. "

"My Mother has been at Willowbrook for 4 to 5 months now. Everyone on the staff..treats her, with so much respect and love. I truly have been amazed at the professionalism...that every Willowbrook Staff member...displays! Thank you Willowbrook..and May God Bless..everyone of you! Karen Russell-Woods..."

"My in-laws are residents of Mission Point of Holly and we liked it. It's a small place and brand-new, they recently rebuilt it. It has 66 beds and only 22 are occupied right now. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they offer activities to the residents."
