#7 in Grand Rapids, MI

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered positive feedback for its caring and helpful staff, clean and bright facilities, and a range of activities. Family members of residents have generally had good experiences, noting the community’s efforts in making transitions smooth and straightforward, both in assisted living and memory care units. The management team has been praised for their kindness and efficiency during the admission process, and efforts to address concerns and improve situations have been recognized and appreciated by families. Residents and their families have also enjoyed the dining experience, with particular mentions of the community not complicating menu descriptions, making it easier for residents to understand their meal choices. Activities like movie watching and outdoor excursions have been highlighted as well, though there’s a desire for more varied and active options.

On the downside, some reviewers have noted issues with slow response times to phone calls, and there have been some concerns regarding the level of care, including an alarming incident where a resident did not receive prompt assistance after falling. Although these negative points were not widespread among the reviews, they indicate areas where the community could focus on improvements to ensure consistent high-quality care and responsiveness. The majority of comments, however, underscore the friendly and accommodating nature of the staff, the enjoyable environment, and the sense of safety and comfort provided to both residents and their visiting families.
