3 Independent Living Communities in Wyoming, Michigan

David

I did an in-person visit at Aurora Pond. It's a very nice place. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. We already were acquainted with it because we know family and friends that had been there; we already had a positive experience with it. It looked very nice. They did a good job. I didn't see any food, but those who had been there liked their food. The dining room was a little different because of the coronavirus.

My dad is living at Aurora Pond and it's good. His room is adequate and it is handicap-accessible with grab bars in the shower and lots of windows, which is nice. The staff is good. They have programs that my dad can go to.

I visited Aurora Pond. It’s lovely and it's very nice. I really like it. It seems the people get along very well, the staff likes the residents, and the residents like the staff. There wasn’t anything going on when I visited, but they have a lot of activities scheduled. The dining area was really nice; it was big, airy, and light. We saw the TV room, the club room, which is like their activities room. They have all that and it's all very nice. I like everything about the place. It's all really nice. I think the staff was great.

Aurora Pond is very clean and well taken care of. The staff members all seem very friendly, and I haven't had any problems with any of them. The dining area looks very nice, like a restaurant. My mother hasn't complained about any of the food, so I'm assuming it's good. They have a lot of activities for the residents, they do some kind of exercise every day, walking groups, bingo, people come in and sing, arts class, and a lot of stuff. It's a studio apartment that my mother is in with a kitchenette area, a full bathroom, and a balcony.

Aurora Pond is close to our doctor and the hospital, and they're also a part of Holiday communities. I saw the two-bedroom apartment and it was wonderful. The place was gorgeous, loved it. Kristin was great, and the two-bedroom was the only one available to see. I loved the way it looked. It's ideal for somebody who wants to be independent. The community looked very similar to one of its sister communities where my sister-in-law was in. It's smaller and didn’t have the private room for when you want a party or a family get-together. That was the only thing I was disappointed in. Other than that, I know they offer a lot and it's on my bus line for the Go bus to take you anywhere that you want to go. It was the convenience of the place that I was more interested in and the view. My husband could sit on the porch, and he could watch people walking back and forth and watching the traffic. My overall experience was great, Kirstin was very helpful and gave me a lot of information. I was really very pleased.
