My mother moved into Shorehaven last October. It's nice, and it's clean, but we haven't been there very much because of COVID. I go in because I'm considered her caretaker. They take my temperature, I fill out a form, and then I'm able to go see her. In the past two weeks, they've just been able to go to the dining room and have some activities reinstated, but so far, so good. She has a very nice room, the cost is very reasonable, and the housekeeping is really good. She has a room that looks out on the water, and she's had no complaints. The staff is very friendly and available. They have a beauty salon, exercise classes, and a computer room where they teach the residents to use the computer. There are paths and a walking trail, they're directly across from a large mall (Lakeside Mall), and they have a big patio where they have an outside bar for drinks and social dancing. She says the food is very good, and it's been better since she has been able to go to the dining room.

We toured Shorehaven. It was an in-person tour. I thought the place was beautiful. I liked the dark wood that they had around it. It looked like it had a lot of amenities. The apartments were a little older looking inside, but they were still nice. It was a nice-looking place. The lady that took us on a tour was great. She was very personable, and she was friendly. She has worked there and has a lot of knowledge of the place. The staff was good. My mom didn't like it. She thought it was dark and dreary, but that's because she's not into that look. I thought it was nice and elegant.

My sister and brother-in-law are at Oakmont Sterling Assisted right now. They both have dementia and my sister is on hospice. It's a very nice facility. The trouble is, they don't take Medicaid. They love the home and are treated well. The staff is very good. They have a sociologist or a psychiatrist who comes in and works with them. They ask them questions, play games, and push a balloon around to each other. They keep them occupied and keep their minds going. The food is excellent because they have a gourmet chef. It's good all the way around. There's no odor. Everything is nice and clean. They clean the floors after they eat and wash all the tables and the chairs. This place is inexpensive compared to the other ones. What I'm paying for two here I would have paid for one at another place.

I visited Town Village, and I liked the place. The only thing I didn't like was the distance from where we live. I didn't see anything negative about it. The staff was good. They have a swimming pool.

My mother moved into Town Village Sterling Heights in February. It's very friendly and very lively. They serve meals from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., so that you can eat all three meals. I'm very impressed with them. They provide anything you need and want. They offer religious activities, bingo, cards, movies, trivia, and games.
