LakeHouse Coldwater
5.0 / 5.0

I would give this place a 5 across the board they were amazing!!! A little expensive but well worth it for the care and peace of mind that she got and we had with leaving her.

Nazareth Center in Kalamazoo, MI
5.0 / 5.0

Best place my mom has been. 100% better than another place she experienced. So far after 6 weeks at Nazareth Center, I have not found anything to complain about. They have lived up to everything they have said they would do. The staff feels like family. Would definitely recommend!

City View in the Square Co-Op Apartments in Kalamazoo, MI
5.0 / 5.0

5 for everything except dining/meals because city view doesn't provide that service. Overall, my mother in laws experience has been great. The apartment is very nice, it is very affordable and the people who work at this complex are very nice. We are still so grateful for your help in finding a nice place for her to live
