Holiday Blue Water Lodge

People and staff are very nice and my mother feels comfortable there. People love to help the residents in any way possible. Very clean place and kept up and updated for people with Disabilities. My aunt was not getting treated fairly at her senior living Facility so my cousin asked if we liked it and she is coming there Saturday and that way my mom and her sister can live a few doors down and visit and keep one another company.

The staff is friendly, helpful and patient. We have a one bedroom apartment and it is very large. We highly recommend Blue Water Lodge for retirement living.

Mom really likes Blue Water Lodge assisted living. Nice accommodations, beautiful views of the lake, nice garden for walks. Apartment is a perfect size. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Meals are good and she has plenty of activities for socializing and entertainment!

We are very happy with everything at Blue Water Lodge and the care from Homestead. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The daily/ weekly activities are wonderful. My mom likes having the hair salon in the the building. We like the fact that we can join her for meals for a small fee.

Very accommodating staff. They have made me feel so much better about my Dad's living situation. The whole staff knows him and what his likes/dislikes and habits are. I know I can rely on them to keep me informed and aware of any problems or challenges he's facing in his daily routine. He's not fond of the food and hasn't really engaged in social activities, but seems healthy and in good (for him) spirits when we visit. He even had a family friend from out of town visit and stay a few days in the guest apartment. Let me also add that there is no way we would have found this living arrangement on our own. Huge "thank you" also to A Place for Mom for the help and handholding to find a good fit for my dad as well as the rest of the family

I am part of a couple local groups and Blue Water Lodge has so graciously offered their Library and Activity Room space on numerous occasions. There have even been residents that have chosen to join in on these groups! They have built strong relationships with many of the people involved. It has been a friendly, warm environment for us to gather. We are forever thankful for everything they do to accommodate our needs. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you - to all the staff and residents of Blue Water Lodge!

Have been into Blue Water Lodge on many occasions for events. The staff and residents are always very kind and inviting. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time and feels included. I would 100% recommend this community to anyone I know looking for a senior living community.

The staff at Blue Water Lodge were very helpful, friendly and professional. The outside of the community looked so nice with all the fall plants. The inside of the community was very clean. The dinner good

Visited Blue Water Lodge because I was looking for a place for my aunt. Very nice facility. Very clean, bright and beautiful. All the staff were friendly and professional. It appeared to have a lot of activities for everyone to do.

I toured this community for my mom. I was very skeptical when going in but after meeting with staff and touring the community I have to say all of my worries disappeared. I was able to talk to a few residents while there and everything I received was positive. The community was absolutely beautiful and the apartment was perfect for mom. Unfortunately mom's health declined and she passed away before she was able to move in. I will highly recommend Blue Water Lodge to anyone looking for senior living options.

We looked at one other place that is just around the corner. We chose this place because it was a little cheaper, it was nicer and more updated, and my husband noticed that the workers seemed to like their jobs. It's really a great place for him. I'm thankful for the referral thank you

Our loved ones apartment room is sunny and she participates in all the different activities they offer for the residents. They have different things like bingo, auctions with funny money won at bingo, exercise class, musical entertainment, dining out excursions. Everyone at the community is very nice.

[name removed], so far our experience, and what my mom has said, and what we've seen so far has been a very positive experience for all of us. The social aspect has been wonderful for my mom. She seems to enjoy the activities. The staff has been very friendly to all of the family and to my mom and great with all the residents when I've been there. The place is always been clean. I love all the little extras that [name removed] does with the residents to make them feel special. I watch how the staff interact with residents and you guys treat them like family. The cost is better than other places in the area and nicer than places we checked out.

I visited Blue Water Lodge for a community event they were hosting. They were under renovation at the time and amidst everything going on, the community was very clean, staff was friendly and attentive, and they were still able to put on a beautiful event. They had a musical performer, many treats, and Santa. I am looking forward to going back for a future event (and to see the final renovations).

It was a hard decision to find a perfect place for my mother! But I did find this lodge and I have to say it's beautiful, pleasant and she really loves it! She has activities and has met some wonderful friends there. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends...The staff are very informative and will really set your mind at ease about whatever questions you have.

The only real issue with them is the housekeeping service. It is not reliable and crappy cleaning so my sister in law is doing it which sucks. We have been in contact with management regarding this. The excuse is not enough staff. That has been our only issue

I would recommend Blue Water Lodge to others for their loved ones. The staff are very friendly, helpful and willing to answer the family's questions. The buildings have communal washer and dryer for the residents to use for free. The apartments have a kitchenette in them There are three meals a day with multiple choices for the residents to choose from the community provides. The meals are complete with salad, dessert, roll, and sides in addition to the main dish. The family is able to eat with our loved ones in the dining room for a small fee. The community has lots of activities for the residents to choose from. The community has a pleasant smell to it. The community has a taxi service contract that the residents are able to utilize for appointments that set up through the office.

My parents have lived at BWL for 6 months. I can't say enough positive about the community. The meals are fantastic, the staff is amazing and the residents are friendly. They are very social and the activities keep them busy! I would strongly recommend BWL to anyone in the future.

My brother and I never imagined finding the ideal place for our mom would be so easy. Michigan has long been our family’s home, so when Mom’s independence began to slip, my brother, in Connecticut, and myself, in North Dakota, desperately needed to find an independent living facility near home where she could become part of a community. The Blue Water Lodge was it. From day one, the Lodge’s staff has been supportive, attentive, and caring. I should be used to it by now, but I’m always pleasantly surprised to come home and hear everyone from dining room servers to the site director greeting Mom by name while pleasantly kibitzing with her. It’s been three years since Mom became a resident at the Lodge, and in that time neither she nor anyone else in our family has even once considered looking into a new home for her. Every so often, first time’s the charm…

So happy our Grandfather is at the blue water lodge. And the management is the epitome of professionalism. Thank You Barb Watson for all that you do.
