5 Nursing Homes Communities in Saint Clair County, Michigan

F.M.

My mother moved into Bradford Place. There were some bumps on the road, but everything is apparently well. They do a little bit of extra care for her that a lot of places don't offer, so at this point we're pretty happy with everything. The staff is very good and very friendly, she has a one-bedroom apartment, but they have a couple of different room options. They have a person who comes in and does crafts, they play bingo, and other activities to give the residents something to do in the afternoon. They have somebody that comes and helps her with balance. They were aware of it, but I wasn't.

Regency Manor is very clean, very nice, and completely up-to-date facility wise. The apartments are gorgeous, and the price couldn't be better. The only issue that I have is there is no food provided on Saturdays and Sundays, and the kitchen is completely closed on Saturdays and Sundays. It's been a good experience for my mother still, and everybody seems knowledgeable about what they're doing and what amenities are available to them. They don't have activities. There are women who come down late at night and play cards. It's a lovely place, but they do not offer green space at all. It used to be an extended stay hotel, so it's just a giant parking lot.

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 love this center. My brother lives there and receives excellent care. The center is clean, the food is good, and the staff is outstanding. I highly recommend Garden Place for you or your love ones.

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.
