Serene Gardens

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.

Our family was faced with having to make an emergency placement of our father & mother in April of this year. We live 2,500 miles away so do not have any local connections or people who could have helped us find a great place. We are so blessed that The Cottage of Davison was able to take both parents and keep them together. The staff treated them with love and respect and made sure that every need was taken care of. Everyone from the cooks to the facility manager treated my parents like they were their own. The facility was always clean and orderly and the staff was always engaged with the residents whether it was doing crafts or helping with exercise. They always made themselves available when ever we were able to visit. [name removed] and [name removed] went out of their way to help us set up zoom meetings when we couldn't be there and sent videos to us. If you are in a position to find a memory care facility The Cottage of Davison should be your first choice and th

Everything was great with Brookdale Saginaw. They could not have been more helpful during the whole transition period. They were very friendly and understanding. She was in memory care and it looked to me like they really tried to engage residents both socially and activities wise. For example they sent a picture of her working in the garden. Not being isolated is very important for dementia residents. From a care standpoint they were really on their game. I would absolutely recommend this facility to others.

I am very satisfied with the community. The community is clean, has a home feeling, and a friendly environment. The staff communication with the family is very personable about our loved one and they are responsive to our questions. There are three meals a day served to the residents. Some of the care the community provides includes dressing, assistance medication management and hygiene care.

Serene Gardens has been an amazing experience so far we have nothing but great things to say about all of the staff members there. On the day our loved one was moving in there was a mix up with the person who arranged the move in date and property manager - they were not ready for our loved one but they worked some things out and took our loved one in. They went above and beyond to make sure they were able to accommodating up They also have worked with us financially and we would recommend this community to other families.
