We chose Clarendale at Indian Lake because of the proximity to our family members home, everything that was included for the price (they had some great move in specials), and it seemed like it was an overall great fit. Her apartment was a little over 800 sq ft one bedroom one bath, and we thought it was great. I did eat here and the food was good, you get a food allowance and you can order as much or as little as you want. My favorite part about the community was that the staff members really care about their residents and they were doing everything that they could to be sure that people were well taken care of and informed during COVID. The other nice thing that this facility has to offer was a doctors group that comes in for the residents who need the extra care. I would recommend.

... we are so happy dad is living at Balfour! Balfour Ann Arbor is truly unlike any other senior living community in the Ann Arbor area! From the initial phone call asking for information to my dad comfortably living in assisted living, the staff, residents, and overall experience has been unlike anything myself or my family could have imagined. My dad even called me the other day to tell me he was too busy socializing, doing one on one activities, and swimming, he didn't have the time to talk to me! The nursing staff are amazing and the food, although delivered during COVID, is incredible! We are so happy we moved my dad into Balfour because he is finally living life to the fullest again!!

I love living at Parkwood! I have enjoyed meeting people and staying social. The staff is very nice, they work very hard. I would say we all get along very well. Everything is kept up very nice around the outside and also inside.

The Danberry is a wonderful facility. My folks moved into independent living several years ago. My Dad subsequently moved into memory care and Mom is still in independent living. The staff are caring and kind. The facility is immaculate inside and out. Leadership is excellent and have done a tremendous job keeping us informed during Covid. Service is top notch. So fortunate to have the Danberry.

My experience here has been very wonderful, the people who work here are so kind and loving and helpful. I like the leadership of the directors here. They always respond to my requests timely. The food is delicious too! I really like being here.

Leaving your home and moving to a new city is a very stressful time (especially at 82). The staff at Danberry made this transition wonderful for my mother. She has lived at Danberry almost 4 years and her only regret is that she didn’t move sooner!

I can truly say GVS has the most amazing staff who have been a blessing to me and my family. [name removed] is a kind person who never ceased to reached out to me on any needs for my Dad, always answered any calls and emails. [name removed] puts her heart into everything she does. [name removed] has been an amazing advisor to me as well as truly caring about my Dad, trying to help in anyway possible to make sure his needs were/are met. Due to insurance issues, my Dad was discharged yesterday. [name removed] called me today to see how he’s doing, see if she could help in any way. So above and beyond! [name removed], Business Office, referred me to an Elder Law Lawyer to assure I was making as well-educated decisions for my parents as possible. The direct care staff each made my Dad feel they cared about him. During these crazy times, please know the staff you have are impacting lives. Including ours!

I really trust that the staff at Laurel Circle is attentive and caring toward both my parents. My mom and dad joined the community in early June 2020, mom in assisted living and dad in memory care. They keep the lines of communication open and call me right away with updates when needed. They have implemented strong procedures to ensure the residents and staff remain free of contracting COVID19 during the epidemic, while doing their very best to make it enjoyable to live in the community during these trying times. This has given me tremendous peace of mind, especially living so far away in Arizona. I did have the pleasure of meeting many of the staff whom I spoke with on the phone when I flew in to NJ and visited for almost a month. They worked with me to ensure I was visiting with both my parents every day except Sunday. I could see they had a great rapport with my parents. [name removed] was amazing, as well as the other nurses and staff I met while visiting! I felt like I already knew [name removed] on a personal level talking with her on the phone before I even arrived in NJ. I would highly recommend LC.

I am reviewing Walnut Place for the time during COVID. I feel that I have received timely information on COVID reports. The front desk has always been pleasant and helpful when I have dropped off items for my mother. [name removed] has been more than accommodating with weekly FaceTIme and with always helping my mother with her tv, telephone, and items that she seems to misplace. Her room appears clean when I’m on FaceTime. Since I am not able to visit her in person, it is difficult to review Walnut Place on overall cleanliness. The lobby is always clean.

I have been very pleased with my experience here. In general, I feel comfortable, my needs are usually met, services are available and well taken care of. Personnel is able, willing and friendly. I plan to stay here as long as I need the services I get here. I am satisfied. Help is provided as needed.

Excellent community so far with a wonderful staff.

The staff is always helpful when I need them. I love doing exercise, happy hour, bingo, trivia games and more with the Activities Department.

I'm very happy here at Clarendale. Everyone is so friendly and always willing to help. I looked at other places but this one was the best fit for what I was looking for. I highly recommend this place.

I have visited the community many times over the years and words cannot explain the warm and fuzzy feeling I’ve experienced during my visits. The staff and residents both are very welcoming and friendly, you can tell that everyone is truly happy! From my experiences, their customer service has always been first class! The residents have beautiful outdoor courtyards with waterfalls and a walking trail for those who enjoy the outdoors. It’s truly a beautiful community with a lot of amenities for residents to enjoy including a fitness studio and a heated saltwater pool! I highly recommend Danberry for anyone considering a move!

We love Monticello West and had a great experience. We chose it because after touring the facility, I really felt a warm and friendly feeling. The staff members that were working there had been there for years, so that impressed me. That told me management was good and that the people loved what they were doing. My favorite part about the community was just how clean and friendly it was. I would definitely recommend.

The community is great. My loved ones have recently moved over to the assisted living from the retirement section of Parkwood Retirement. The property backs to a wooded area in the back.

Director of Memory Care [name removed] is awesome! All other employees I have interacted with have been wonderful. My dad loves it here and likes the staff very much.

Very nice place, clean and convenient. Very friendly.

I was so impressed with this community. From the moment I walked through the front door, I knew my mother would love to call this home. Every employee I came in contact with was cheerful and polite. The common space is full of light and bright. The rooms are large and beautifully appointed. This community is first class!

My 87 year old mother has been a resident of Danberry's Independent Living section for 5 years. My only deduction in rating is because the carpet in her entry way has become stained from use and resists cleaning efforts. The community of friends with whom she eats and interacts has been one of the most significant benefits since moving from her home where she was alone. She especially enjoys eating with them in the dining room and joining them for group exercise classes. On-site worship services and special programs are also significant for her spiritual and emotional health. During the last two years Danberry has allowed our family to join Mom in singing Christmas carols in the main common area and on her hallway. As mom's memory has deteriorated, the staff has worked to help her- and my siblings- in many ways. They know her by name, and are alert to make sure that she is not having any difficulties when she is outside of her apartment. The team in resident services have walked with us through her fluctuating, increasing need for aides/companions. Mom has a favorite who is with her for several hours each day. She cooks meals, washes clothes and helps in many other ways. She loves Mom as if she was a grandmother. She is a trusted friend for not just Mom, but also our family. The aides help us to know if there are problems or needs we need to address. The transportation services staff have been pleasant, accommodating and reliable in getting Mom to medical appointments, whether in the local area or downtown at UAB. [name removed] (not her real name) has been indispensable as we have contemplated the next step in Mom's care. She kindly gave my siblings and me a tour of the Assisted Living and Memory Care units, explaining all of the details and considerations. She has communicated well whenever rooms come available to see if we are ready to make a transition from Mom's current living arrangement. We all understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything. As a physician I have been pleased to see how carefully and considerately Danberry has acted to protect their residents and staff, while still allowing important face-to-face interactions for families. Our family had reservations when we encouraged Mom to move to Danberry several years ago. In retrospect it was the correct decision, and one which has improved Mom's life- and therefore ours- and has been made easier by the love and care provided by the Danberry team.
