The Best Nursing Home Communities in Mason County, MI

"During my mother's 5 year stay, I was very satisfied with the overall experience. I felt that both the staff and facilities equipment was superior to most other experiences that I have encountered. The beds were mostly new and fully functional and to the highest standard(s). I was very pleased with the spirit of the caretakers too. They had my mother involved in many activities and in which I felt very satisfied that they tried to make her life as best as possible. They helped acquire the best special wheel chair that I have ever seen. On the negative, I did not see them bath her much and take care of her facial extremities, etc. I am quite sad about that. I think that they were too lazy to look at personal hygiene, hair, etc. They didn't dye her hair often, and it smelled very bad most of the time. I felt bad for my mother. "

"Oceana Co Md Care Facility is very clean and very nice. We're very happy with it. It starts as a rehab, it can be long-term, and they have a wonderful memory care. Everybody there was lovely. I had not one problem. Mom just went into the rehab part. They went above and beyond. They're all very caring people. They like what they're doing, and that's the most important thing. They had a dietitian who came out and discussed everything with the family. You can eat in your room, or you can go down to the dining hall, and we ate there, and it's very nice. The rooms are for one person. They're all updated. They have a bird sanctuary, aquariums, a library, and a reading room. It's very airy and light. There is not one smell in the place. They have church services there, they have bingo, and they have sing-alongs. People from the community come in and sing at suppertime. There's always something going on every day. It's 100% worth it. This came highly recommended to us."

"Our experience with Grand Oaks Nursing Center is very good. My mother and my aunt are both up there now, and I think it's a phenomenal place. It's a nursing home, there's not a whole lot of amenities. There are two to a room, they have arts and crafts. If it's not during COVID, they are allowed to go out and go outside and do things as they go on trips, but with COVID, they've eliminated some of that. You can walk all through this facility and not smell any unpleasant smells, it's very clean. Their food is not bad. They have to be careful with seasoning, so it's a little bland. They've got variety, if they don't want what's the meal, they can have a salad. It's ordered through Sysco, if they don't want a cooked breakfast, they can have cereal, so they're pretty lenient on their food. I can't say enough good things about them. I really can't. We do a care conference every three months, and if there's something that comes up within that three months, they're quick to call me and let me know what's going on. They're usually very community-minded and bring the people out into the community, like to the parades, but they couldn't this year because of COVID."
