Independent Living Community in Fort Gratiot, Michigan

I would highly recommend Blue Water Lodge. It's been very good for my friend. Socialization is good, the food is good, and the accommodations are outstanding. They go on bus trips, they visit museums, they have transportation to shopping and doctors' visits, they have game nights, exercises every day, they watch movies, they have music come in, and they have a prom that they put on for the people who are 90 years old. If you're bored there, it's your own fault because there's plenty of things to choose from. The value is good, but it's expensive for people to live independently in a facility such as that.

I went to Blue Water Lodge and I was disappointed and surprised at a few things. Susan, the staff member that showed us around, seemed nice, but she didn't know as many things as I thought she should. We had a free lunch, which was OK. It was kind of expensive, but I liked where it was situated. There's no kitchen and that drove me crazy. I would definitely want a kitchen. They have what they call a kitchenette, but there's no refrigerator, no stove, no microwave, just a sink. They have meals at certain times. However, it was a very nice property, and it was clean.

The staff at Blue Water Lodge has been good and kind to my parents. They have a nice room. However, the amenities have not been what we expected, the food has not been very good as of late, and some of the activities are not happening. They have a community room, different events going on daily, meals provided, and a bus that goes out. Even their cable television package is really not what we expected it to be in a senior living center. They don't do a lot of other things beside watch television, which is disappointing.
