Do not be fooled by the "atmosphere" and looks of this Assistant Living. Many 'attitudes' by the staff, lack of good care, chronic issues do not get resolved ie., like feces left on toilet seat and no one takes responsibility of cleaning, it up., caretakers "not my job" .. so in the meantime your loved one cannot go to bathroom...gross yes but that has been our experience. Any complaint is not taken seriously and becomes a "he said- she said" scenario. Many residents are not happy but afraid to tell the management. The new management does communicate changes and all of sudden you are charged on your invoice. It lacks team work among caretakers and the rest of the staff. At times, some staff , caretakers very rude and to the family member. Once you complain you are "labeled" by the caretaking staff and your love one will be treated unfairly. Please do not have the owners response to this review to contact the executive director, [name removed] for help since that doesnt resolve anything. Will never forget the first time meeting with new director, explaining not happy, wanting to take my mom away. His comments back "would you like a referral" . #frustrated caretaker of mom

Short staff results in lack of care. Would not recommend at all.

Short staff leads to poor care

Mom fell last night, no call from the staff when they found her on the floor. I received a call at 6 am morning she fell last night. This is NOT NORMAL for an assistant living failure to contact family. They do not know what happen and how it happen- but I am with my mother at the hospital now. Short staff leads to long waits to care for anyone.

I have first hand experience with the new administrator [Removed], very good at what she does however the new people whom just bought it a few months ago are the definition of "it's all about the money" these new owners are not concerned about your loved ones or their own employees. If you love your family member like I do PLEASE DO NOT put them there! I fact just investigate the place AND the management and the ones that are running the day to day things for yourself and you will be horrified to even consider this cold and lack of compassion this place is really about. [Removed] did a wonderful job turning this place around in such a short time that her thank you was to be walked out right after she single handed had that place pass State. They will use the suffering of your loved one and your money to fill their own pockets with little compassion for its residents.. INVESTIGATE THIS PLACE and pass on the horrible reputation this place had until [Removed] started turning this place around

I'm done with this place. They do not have a safety system in place that is adequate for residents. The food is awful and if someone doesn't like something they give them a bowl of Jell-O for dinner. It was a terrible experience. They over billed me and I'm still getting that worked out. I've had enough of them.

This place is worse then a dump my Mom who is for the most part able to care for herself [Removed] (theres a police report at the Grand Blanc police department) I am a rn my Mom called me several times because there was no staff, I would leave Ann Arbor go to Prestige Pointe only to find NO staff.. My Mom was not given her medication. On severa days which lead to a heat attack. MY Dad who is in the military had to help feed several residents on different occasions. The first day my Mom was there back in July her phone was stolen I was promised by Shannon the director and Ashley the nurse the phone would be reimbursed, I turn the recipe into Ashley before she left for vacation. It's now January 2017 I still have not been reimbursed. If you want your loved one to survive please please don't put them at prestige point! Meds are never ever on time if they are given at all

Well this is a horrible place, and they do not care about the residents what so ever and only a little bit of the care staff do. The executive director and the maintenance man think they own the place and they don't. They both suck, and need to get better work ethic . They will try to make you think it is a good place and put on a good act but really it is not a good place to put a loved one in. There has been so much down fall from this place and it should be shut down. I beg you put your loved one in a better facility where they will get better love and care. There is multiple problems with this [place, they lose the resident stuff, the medications are not properly given or ordered. They have an excuse for everything. I believe these residents deserve better and people who actually care. The upper management do not know what they are doing what so ever. They only care about themselves and what they can do to go to work making money without actually doing something.

My father has been here about 2 years. This place has problems. Wasn't very good when he first got here. Was hoping I could solve a few of the problems. Because it seems like a nice place, and they charge a LOT of money. But they keep getting worse. When the new company took over. Some things started getting worse. And now that jane has left. They are worse than that. I am forced to start looking for a better place to care for my father. The service has gone downhill and the prices are being raised. There are some employees that care. But certainly not all of them. The new manager in charge. Has refused to contact me. The nurse in charge has never contacted me. I have requested the nurse in charge go over my fathers needs about 4 months ago. But there has been 2 different ones since then. And none of them have contacted me. There are many problems with my fathers care. I do not recommend this place for anyone with loved ones with Dimensia or memory loss issues. They just made a new rule. From now on, if your relative needs diapers. You have to go buy them,(I used to pay extra and they would order them, now I have to actually shop for them) and the gloves used to change them. Since other items of my fathers are shared, or lost. I imagine these will be too. I have purchased 11 cell phones for my father. They keep claiming they accidently wash them. But I have checked my fathers phones. they are loaded to the max. With sales calls and a multitude of advertising text messages from many companies. Like some one has been using his phone. He is not able, he can barely hit the one number to call me.

I would never recommend!

I was very disappointed in this community. I felt that it was very depressing, the room, the common rooms, everything. The rooms were very dark. There was a shared bathroom, like in a hospital setting. The rooms were very small, and not inviting. I didn't find anything about my visit cheerful.
