Serene Gardens

I feel that Brookdale Midland was a very good facility and that they helped my mother a lot.

My mother was placed by myself as I fell in love with The Cottage of Davison. The warm colors, murals on the walls, the themes of each room. The staff was very patient with her as she had dementia and struggled to walk at most times. She was getting weaker as time went on, her body was just giving up. I was greated warmly as I was there almost every day at least once. She was there just under a month. And now she is laid at peace with my dad.

Sent my husband to Serene Gardens. The nursing supervisor had him sent to [name removed] as he had been to [name removed] twice. They found a bowel obstruction and aspiration pneumonia which [name removed] missed. He is doing well now with their care. My husband has dementia and he was combative. Not many facilities would take him. He is very happy there and they have his behavior under control also.

The tour experience was great. Everyone was friendly and [name removed] was very knowledgeable. It is great. I would definitely recommend it.

Our loved one is very happy at the Serene Gardens of Grand Blanc. What we like the most about the community is the staff members. The staff are very nice, they call our loved one by her name. There are a lot of different activities as well for the residents to get involved in. We would recommend this community to other families looking into the community.

My only "complaints" are we didn't know that Bella Vita was sold until the day it happened. They are understaffed, but they are really trying to make it work. There have been issues with medication being given because it has run out. But, I have been told that they are switching pharmaceutical companies to resolve the issues. Meals were poor during the transition but are great now. I would like to see more activities or day trips or getting involved in the local senior citizen center.

What our family likes the most about the Brookdale Battle Creek community is that we feel that our loved one is in a safe community and is being well cared for by the staff members working there.

What we like the most about The Avalon of Auburn Hills community is the friendly staff and the great care. However, is it kind of pricy though. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend them to other families.

The staff really care about the residents. When mom got very ill the hospital said the assisted living would not take her back. She had a trach and hospice. The woman in charge said to me: she is family. Bring her here and we'll figure it out. I was so glad I didn't have to find another place. My mom passed away [date removed]. I would highly recommend Angela's House.

This is a newer community. Bella Vita bills the pharmacy for my loved one's medications, and then the pharmacy bills me. The community caters to each resident's dietary needs and this is wonderful to see. This is a wonderful place. The community and staff follow guidelines and this is fabulous.

Mom had liked how caring and attentive the staff is at Brookdale Battle Creek. The Executive Director is great! Mom has also made a lot of friends.

My family highly recommends Bella Vita,our experience was excellent.Our mother was well cared for by an amazing staff and property owner.They exceeded our expectations with what they provide the residents for the price compared to other facilities we reviewed.But the real story is the Bella Vita employees,they are truly special people.

What we really like about Brookdale Saginaw is the staff, they are awesome! I kept telling them that they are all Angels. The meals, the activities, the community and keeping things clean are other things we like. Based on our experience so far we would recommend Brookdale Saginaw to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

The staff are very helpful and friendly, they keep us informed regarding any changes or issues with my loved one's care. My loved one speaks highly of the food. I would recommend this facility to family and friends, they seem to really care about the residents.

We chose Brookdale Midland because the staff that worked there all had nursing experience. They are all very knowledgeable and know things about my dad and what his likes and dislikes are.

They have taken very good care of my mother, she is end stage dementia and arrived in very bad shape from the previous facility. Her CNA [name removed]at Serene Gardens should get a medal! A raise for sure, she immediately assessed my mother when she got there and said she would do everything in her power to get my mother's skin infections and sores under control and she looked me straight in the eyes and promised she would and that she would be cared for properly at Serene. So far she has! The rest of the staff that helps care for my mother are also amazing. The food is not the greatest but not the worst either. Reminds me of school cafeteria food. A lot of seniors don't have much of an appetite to begin with, so nutrition needs to be appealing.

My Mother has lived at Pineview for close to 2 years, and it has been absolutely wonderful for her! The staff truly feel like family, and they do so much more than care for the residents. The people that live there are rarely alone in their rooms, instead they gather together in the main living rooms for crafts, movies, puzzles and music therapy. The facility is immaculate, and the food would rival that of most local restaurants. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect place for our Mom. The best part is she really does refer to it as "home", which is such a comfort to us!

The staff is all very friendly it is very clean. Whenever we call for assistance you always have to leave a message and usually do not get a returned call until after 3 or 4 calls. Overall it's a great place

We had a great tour experience with Serene Gardens of Sterling Heights. The facility was beautiful, the rooms were clean and very nice. The downfall was how large the facility was. It might be good for someone in assisted living, but for someone with dementia who would get lost easily, I do not think it would be a good fit. The price was decent comparatively.

I experienced your facility for a family fall event. Was so impressed with the staff for their kindness to the residents and families. Also, the grounds and buildings are beautiful inside and outside. Was so impressed with everything. Also the executive director was very informative and kind.
