Serene Gardens

Words cannot express how great the staff is! They went above and beyond in making my mother feel right at home. They made sure not just my mother was comfortable and happy but also me and my family as it is a difficult decision to make.

Overall great place. They are constantly making improvements to the building.

They are so nice and patient with my dad. Thank you!!!!!

“Safe and comfortable”. These many not be the most dazzling words to use in a review, but in my mother’s situation I can hardly think of two more important ones. When friends ask about how my mom is doing (at Addington Place of Grand Blanc), and they express sympathy and concern about her needing to be in memory care assisted living, I tell them, yes, it’s difficult for her but she is safe and comfortable, and that knowledge gives me a great deal of peace of mind. Especially with the pandemic—while it has been hard for everyone since they closed down to visitors, Addington Place has been vigilant about the safety of the residents and the staff. Speaking of the staff, they are terrific—kind, skilled, dedicated, patient—and they get my mom’s odd sense of humor! Witnessing the terrible, gradual, often painful debilitating effects of dementia on my mom’s mind and body is incredibly difficult, but knowing she is in the care of the wonderful people at Addington Place has made it as good as it can be.

Met with [name removed], the E.D. for the first time last week, she gives her heart and soul to the community and has a real passion for making sure the residents get the care they need! I also met the DON, [name removed] who was friendly and easy to talk to! The buildings are homey and small, perfect for those with memory loss that like to have their independence, still.

Brand new facility and very clean with good people managing the day to day operations. Highly recommend

I toured this facility earlier this summer and can see why there is a waiting list! I can't wait to get my mom in there next month. She absolutely loved the menu, the activity calendar, and the size of the rooms. The community areas were so spacious and homey. They are pet friendly, too, so I can take my dog to visit whom she loves!

My wife and I had a tour of Brookdale on [date removed] looking for a place for my Father. We were very impressed with Brookdale for it's neat and clean facility. We met with the staff nurse and other members working at Brookdale, all of whom were very friendly. We were also very impressed with [name removed] as she provided us with many options for finding the right fit for my Dad as well as some financing options. My Dad is willing to tour Brookdale as well and we are looking to set that up very soon. Thank you for all of your help!

My wife is looking for a place for her parents. We met with [name removed] and [name removed] the managers. They were so helpful in answering our questions. This is the place for my in laws. The building was clean and the staff was so friendly!

What a beautiful building! I went there for a visit and talked with some of the people living there and they were so happy. They told me how nice the staff is and that the food is wonderful! I talked with [name removed], she show us around and we are excited. This is #1 on our list!

My brothers and I went and met with [name removed] the manager, who helped us understand the process. The buildings are beautiful! The residents were all playing Bingo, and we knew mom would love it here. [Name removed] is helping us get mom moved in!

It just felt right. From the time I walked in the door, I felt like this was a special place. I watched how the staff interacted with the people that live there. They were laughing and joking. I was there at lunch time and the food looked so good. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. If i can get my mom to move up from Florida this is where she will move.

My mom has been at Brookdale Battle Creek, MI for about 2 months now and she loves it. She is 94 but has become acquainted with all of the women and even checks in on a few older ladies to make sure they are doing alright. Us kids call her the social butterfly of Brookdale. :) She loves the fellowship, the food, the care and especially the parties and entertainment. She is very active and social so Brookdale was the perfect place for her!

This community is on my short list of options to place my mom. I was toured by the director who was very nice and it is very warm and like home.

This home is very clean. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I visited a friend there and was very impressed with the care my friend received. I would recommend this place and encourage people to tour and check it out.

I tried to paste a photo in my review and was not able to do so. That's a shame because it's a picture of my father who stayed at your facility for a number of years. He is gone now, but this photo pops up in my memories and it makes me really smile. Thank you for all the Care and understanding that my family received while my father was there.

Great improvements in this community over the last few months. Kudos to the new ownership and management team!

I could not have done it with her helpful knowledge of seniors. Continuing to be there, to listen and understand my situation was a life saver. It took me 6 months, but it was the right thing to do. Thank you, [name removed]

I have placed several seniors at Addington Place and they do an AMAZING JOB! Families love the staff and the personal attention they receive at Addington Place!

Amazing staff willing to help and very kind. This building is great.
