We weren't here long at all before our loved one passed away. We didn't know it was that close to the end. We didn't get to experience much of the community, but it seemed like a nice place. I didn't have any complaints.

My mother lives here and they bend over backwards to meet her needs. It's a good value place. It's a very clean facility. Everyone is nice and helpful.

We have had a very positive experience with Elmcroft of Kentwood. They have been very accommodating, especially given the difficult situation of the circumstances we were in. They have been very friendly, welcoming, and helpful all throughout.

So far our experience with Sunrise of Rochester has been a good one. They were very helpful throughout the whole touring and move-in process, and provided us a lot of useful information. The facility is clean and well kept, and the staff are friendly. After moving in we've had a little trouble getting them to respond to requests, but overall things have gone very well.

We visited this community when we were looking into senior living options for a loved one. I thought this was a very nice looking place overall, and definitely somewhere we would consider as an option! The staff here were all very friendly!

I was pleased with the service. Everybody was friendly and very caring. They called her by name from the very beginning. They had a lot of activities going on. The food is really good. If a resident doesn't show for breakfast or lunch they check to make sure everything is ok. I really liked how attentive they were.

This facility was able to admit on a Saturday evening. Thank You

When we shopping for a place for our mom, we checked out 3 places that was close to home (for familiarity) and that would meet her monetary capabilities. There was only one that met her care needs. When we walked into her now current care giver facility the first thing we saw were staff members. The other two facilities was not like that at all. While we were interviewing the administrator an alarm went off, immediately we saw staff members running down the hall way to administer emergency care. Very impressive. We were sold on the spot. Waldon Woods is a great place for our mom.

They're really good with my mom. They actually get her to smile and laugh which is hard to do. The cost has gone up but my mom's care has also gone up so I understand that. They do really well. She's now in a wheelchair. When she started she was able to us a walker and get around a little bit but she's had a few falls while trying to use the walker by herself which she shouldn't have been doing. She does pretty well with the wheelchair but they're really good about helping her around too. She likes bingo. They do have crafts but my mom has Parkinson's so it's hard for her. It would be nice if there was something besides bingo for her but she does like that. I've requested baths 3x a week and they make sure to do that. Anything that I've asked them to do they are really good about doing. They're quite good with her and check on her every hour.

We chose Sunrise for our loved one because it was half the price of a nursing home but still get the care that we needed. We are paying around $5,000 a month and the care is what we were looking for. When looking into nursing homes they were running about $9,000 a month but we didn't need all the extra care those communities provide. Sunrise is doing a very good job and we are very pleased with them. We would recommend Sunrise to anyone.

I liked this one the best however although we don't know the price range yet it will most likely be higher than what she can afford. Pros - can accommodate up to 100 residents which would give her a wider range of friends to choose from. Residents were from all stages of life which would provide a larger range of ladies she can socialize with. Activities were the best out of the three visited. Suites were spacious and had a sink and small fridge. Dining area was large and very nice. Choice of two meals to choose from for lunch and dinner. Her own mailbox which gives her a feeling of independence since the mail is very private to her. Hallways had lots of areas to stop and sit in a comfortable chair if they needed to. Residents are encouraged to decorate their white pretty doors as well as have a shelf outside of door to place nick knacks or a special picture. Comfortable and spacious living area with large fireplace. Cons ... mass is held in an area where residents can smoke on the other side of the glass doors. Garden area is not smoke free. Concerns about ratio of staff to residents.

Interested in checking further into this option.

Rooming options - shared bathroom and own room would be our preference.

I loved this place - looks very similar to the Assisted Living place in Alpena that AB was in. We can afford this one, too. I am definitely bringing dad back to this one.

Staff is great! Rooms are really nice. The entire facility is kept very Clean and beautiful. They keep it nice looking. Comfortable feeling here. Food is awful. Generally served cold. Generally tastes terrible and the chef does not care. Many people have spoken to him, he says it is what it is. Although there was a meeting with residents, it has not changed.

When my friend had an accident and needed help to recover, she went into Elmcroft until she was able to go back home. For the most part, she was very satisfied with everything here. The community was clean all the time. The only complaint was about the food, it was not very good.

I love my new apartment here. ALL IS GREAT.

Overall I am pretty happy at Bradford. There have been 2 hostile staff members though.

Very average to below average- would not recommend. Care staff not very friendly or responsive. Assistance wait time is unacceptable. Consistently waiting for >1-2 hrs for assistance when calling for help. Think about the fact that many of the residents are 100% dependent on the staff to assist to the bathroom or getting them to dining room. Not patient with people. They are way understaffed. Staff Refuse to wake up a resident after they have called and waited for assistance- wake them up they needed something.
