8 Memory Care Communities in Saginaw County, Michigan

Connie

We visited Wescourt in Saginaw. Based on the visit, we were very happy with what they did with the facility. It's very nice there. They have access to everything, like gardens. Even though they're in the city of Saginaw, they have a rural type of feeling. They have cottages for the independent part, one- and two-bedroom cottages that are separated. They're like little homes that are right on the front of the building so if they go over to dine for food, it's just across the driveway. They have 24/7 on-call alerts in all of their apartments, whether they were in the cottages or in the main building. One thing that my parents and my family like is that they allow you to choose to have extra help. You can purchase it from them, or if you have your own, they can come into the property. That was something nice, and the other ones didn't allow that. With what we experienced, I'd say the staff was all very nice and helpful. They have little bistros, little coffee shops that you could go to, a place for movies, and a hair salon. They also have transportation for medical appointments or other types of appointments within a certain radius. They have the alert that they wear around like a wristwatch for 24/7 contact. They have a nursing-help team on the premises.

I've been very happy with Wescourt, they take good care of my mom. They're very like safe and careful, 'specially with the coronavirus; they follow all the protocols consistently. There's good food there. There are generally a lot of activities, but not right now during the lockdown. The only issue I've had lately is that she hasn't had her carpets cleaned because of the coronavirus restrictions, but that's kind of challenging these days to have companies these days come into the facility. She used to do a lot of exercise classes, there's auctions where they get Westcourt box and they can bid on little prizes and things. They have rootbeer floats where they can get their blood pressure checked. They have a lot of outings where they can see fall leaves or that kind of stuff. They have people come in to sing and play the piano.

Wescourt was very nice and the apartments looked very nice as well. The staff who gave me the tour was also very nice and professional, she calls me all the time. I saw their dining area, they had all the tables set up and it's very nice. I didn't see any activity at the time because it was lunch time and everybody was having lunch. I haven't eaten there but the food looked good. They have amenities like a TV room, they have a church, a beauty shop, there's an activity room downstairs, a pool table, puzzles working area and a library area. My first impression of the place was that it was a community. People were sitting in a little foyer, they were playing a game, people were having lunch, and it just feels very homey. I went to several other places but this one is the one. The place itself was very nice and clean, and everyone was really friendly.

Bickford of Saginaw was nice, but it was more for people that are really worse off with their memory and our mom is still a little active. The place itself was nice, but it didn't appeal to us because it wasn't what we wanted. It wasn't a bad place. The staff member who accommodated us during the visit was very nice. Their dining area also looked nice.

Kathy

Wescourt was very nice. Everybody was very friendly. The room was very nice, too. It was a very good experience and it felt homey. The dining room was very large, the food was okay, and the people we were sitting with were very friendly. Outside, they had a lot of flowers, which was very attractive. Parking was spacious. They had a lot of things going on and they had a big calendar full of activities.
