Heritage Woods of Charleston
4.9

I have lived here for about a year and a half. I have enjoyed it immensely. Very friendly people live and work here. I recommend it for people 65 years old and older. We get three meals a day plus snacks. We get activities that are great. We have exercise programs for 45 minutes at least 2 times a week. There is also bingo and occasionally we will get entertainment from the community. That is great and very enjoyable. We have sing a longs and bell choir. During the holidays, the staff is wonderful in surprising us with different kinds of activities that we don't do on a regular basis. We also have someone come in to do chair yoga with us. To me, it is a great place to live. The staff is very helpful.

Randall Residence of Decatur
5.0

Everything is wonderful and clean at this community. The staff are very nice and attentive to my aunt and especially in her time of need after losing her dog. My aunt is adjusting well and has gained 10 pounds since staying with the community. My aunt loves the meals provided, she reads me the menu everyday! Overall it is a good place for my aunt and I would most certainly recommend this community.

Brookstone Estates Tuscola
4.6

It's a very friendly place. They are very respectful to the residents. And they show true concern and care for them The facility is good. They clean the apartments every week. My loved one likes the food for the most part, although he's not picky. Sometimes it can be tough / hard to eat, which I think they need to consider for the elderly. But I would highly recommend Brookstone.
