14 Nursing Homes Communities in Kalamazoo County, Michigan

Lisa

My mother is living in Brookdale Portage, and it's wonderful. The staff is wonderful, caring, compassionate, and everyone is treated with respect. They’re very happy with their chefs and I know they custom prepare a lot of their meals for certain people who live there. They have field trips, go out to lunch, arts and crafts, workout activities, music, and someone playing the guitar. They have a nice little calendar with all their daily activities. I've seen nothing but caring in place and I can see that the residents are very well taken care of and have close relationships with the staff.

My mom had nursing care at Park Village Pines. The staff was good. The rooms were good. My mom had a double room and a good second person in there. My mom was there for 15 months. The place is very nicely-situated, easy to get to, and a nice community. I have an aunt who still lives there, and it's been good for her too. The food was good. I appreciated that they had an area that was walkable, and it was nice that they had a church service on Sunday.

Jenny

I went to Brookdale Portage and the visit was fine. It was a walkthrough, I saw what was available, and what was in process. The rooms were fine and I thought they would be good for my brother. It was in close proximity to my house. I saw a calendar of activities, the staff who showed me around was very friendly, they looked very nice, they were all busy, and even the people living there looked happy and content.

Dawn

They’re very accommodating and caring at Brookdale Portage. It's a beautiful facility but the biggest drawback was the layout. It just wasn't what was right for my mom because she needs more simplicity. They were gathering for some things in the sun room and they have several different places for activities. They have several different dining areas.

Debra

My parents will be moving into Heritage Community of Kalamazoo. I like the size and I like that their nursing staff and their whole staff is employed by them and not contracted. I had contact with Maria Charles and she was very helpful and responsive. I liked that their food was prepared on-site and wasn't brought in, which was definitely a plus. They have a library, a physical therapist on-site, they offer free laundry, they do linens, it's pet-friendly, and they have transportation available to any place, not just doctors' appointments.
