9 Best Memory Care Facilities in Monroe County, MI

My mother really liked it here for the time she stayed which was about 4 months. But I don't think she realized she didn't need to be in an assisted living facility from that point on. It was great for her when she got out of the hospital but not necessary for her to continue living there. All the people were super nice and went above and beyond for her. I never really saw any cleanliness issues though it did smell of urine once in awhile. The staff was generally always very nice. Some more nice than others, once in a while there would be an aid that wasn't over accommodating but generally never any negative things about anyone. Quality of care was good for my mom but I heard many stories of other people not being cared for very well. Although I didn't see any of this in my own eyes I heard it quite often from my mom that her friends were not being cared for properly there. So I can only comment on what I heard from her. My mom was definitely one of their easier residents. Overall I think my mom enjoyed the food though there was times when she complained a little bit about it. But I'll be honest she complains about the food at the new place too. So there you go. My mom loved all the activities that they had at aviva. I think she would have been happy just doing anything. She just likes to keep busy and socialize. So she always enjoyed the activities they did. I think the value you get from staying there is worth the money. I priced out so many other places that seem to be comparable to Aviva and cost so much more. Now obviously we didn't get a chance to stay at any of those other places so I can only compare dollar value by place. It's definitely one of the cheaper places in town.

We were overly impressed with this community and what all they do for the residents. This community was fairly new and was very nice and clean, there were no smells and we just had a really good feeling that our loved one was being well cared for just like somewhere we would go ourselves. It was a very difficult time but this community I would go myself so I felt safe sending my loved one there.

My wife, who requires considerable physical care as well as cognitive has developed a close relationship with her care givers far beyond what we experienced elsewhere in terms of both depth and consistency. Many of the staff have been there for years. They have been trained well on the latest strategies for managing clients with cognitive problems. The leadership is always available and solves problems quickly and efficiency. New staff choices have been remarkably astute. This community is a jewel.
