Review for Sterling Heights

My sister is very happy at Sterling Heights. We're finding the staff the rooms and the food to be very good. It has a very family like atmosphere and my sister felt she fit in almost immediately. There are plenty of activities and the environment is very cheerful. We would highly recommend it to anyone. The starting prices for rent seem reasonable by comparison to other places of similar quality. The places we looked at in New Jersey were not half as nice for the same or more money.

Living Graciously in a Gracious Community

Because I am a people person I like the people here especially the staff that exemplifies what it means to be diligent and dutiful. The apartment size is small it is a studio size but that's all that we could afford. They also have one and two bedroom sizes as far as we know of. The location of the community is in a nice quiet area and as long as we have lived in the Lehigh valley we never knew it was here and that's also what a lot of other people say.

Loving and family environment

A true caring community with a strong commitment to serving their residents. I am blown away way by the leadership of the Management team especially the GM. If you want a place for you or your loved ones and want to be sure they will be happy and well taken care of then Sterling Heights is that place.

Our experience

Everyone is super friendly and happy all the time that was the main reason we picked this place. They serve so much food I ate there a few times and could never finish my meal. Price was very reasonable. This was another reason we went with Sterling Heights. The rooms are all updated and smell brand new. They even painted and changed the carpet before my grandma moved in. I would definitely recommend Sterling Heights to anyone. My Grandmother has been there for over a year now and she is so happy and very active.

Wonderful Place

I cannot say enough about how great Sterling Heights is. The people there are wonderful, caring and nice. They all go above and beyond to help. The food is delicious, and the dining room is like going to a fancy restaurant. They have so many activities, not to mention a theater, library, game area. It is bright and clean with wide hallways and plenty of places to sit and visit both inside and outside.

Good experience for independent living

My parents lived at SH from [date removed]. Business at SH was still slow when they moved in and prices were lower. SH marketed aggressively to increase occupancy and they have since raised prices. In particular, SH's corporate parent has clamped down and now charges for extra services that used to get overlooked. Our overall experience was good. Rooms are modern and clean, food is plentiful but not suited to special diets like cardiac or low sodium. Because of the services clampdown, residents should be capable of living independently. SH has had a lot of trouble keeping any kind of in-house therapy or aid services, even as a paid service.

A beautiful shelter in the stormy days that we live in

Well first of all, the lower rating for the meals have to do with my wife's meal that I pick up for her that always has left over dessert and sometimes without the drink that we asked for. In short I like everything about Sterling Heights right down to the kind people that I deal with. My wife and I see it as our city of refuge. What a wonderful place to live.

I would recommend based on the understanding that the could be better

They turnover in management, they are all nice, but there seems to be new ones. At least 3 or 4 in the last year The food is not good, some residents go to the meetings but it doesn't get better. I am sure, like most places they have high turnover. My loved one fixes her own meals which depletes finances.

A nice place to be.

Sterling heights is a great place to live. It is a beautiful place with many outings and celebrations. Everyone is very pleasant and happy. It is close to many shopping areas and the airport as well. You have a gym,movie theater, library, media room and laundry rooms. You are served three meals restaurant style with a 24 hr tea and coffee bar with baked goods and fresh fruit. My mom is very happy about her move.

Sterling Heights Review

My loved one hasn't been there in at least 6 months. He didn't get along with the front office husband and wife team. They wanted to leave anyway so they might not even be there anymore. They put a horrific aura on the facility. Otherwise he loved it there so it's a shame. We'd love to get him back there! The food was excellent and he has very good taste! The waitstaff and cooks were wonderful. Facility was clean and inviting! Very beautiful! But you could feel the tension amongst the residents and the administration. Residents were wonderful too!

Our Experience so far

My loved one is currently a resident at Sterling Heights and overall things have been good so far. The staff is very attentive and very helpful, especially when moving in. The housekeeping and communication with the family is good. There is just turnover at the management level, the staff changes too often. Also, the food is horrible and my loved one barely eats it. I don't know what they can do for better food. I would recommend Sterling Heights to others, but with the understanding about the food.

Our family experience

We gave the meals and dining service 4 stars only due to the food prepare sometimes. The facility is very beautiful and provides many activities. Each holiday they have a different theme filled day and decorations. The have a very good transportation system in place too. They also have a monthly activities calendar.

Nice Community

The interaction with the staff was pretty good. The food is plain, and my loved one does not really like it. They can improve on the food. We picked this community, because it is attractive/nice, location and it met our needs the best.

Bring back Managers

My Mother was there for [date removed]. Seen numerous Managers come and go. Few months back, Sterling Heights had a set of Managers, [name removed] and [name removed] , who were absolutely amazing! They were there for the Residents. Ran the community great and had the respect of all residents and family. Hawthorn needs to bring them back to get this back running to where it should be. [name removed] was one that ran around and never sat down to keep it all flowing. [name removed] always tended to the needs of everyone. All done with care. Step up Hawthorn and get them back.
