Recent reviews of Independent Living in Branch County, MI
The Village at Pine Valley in Fort Wayne, IN
5.0

Senior Living is not only a tough transition for the family, but it's also hard finding the community that fits mom or dad's needs. Is there activities for them to do? Is the food good? Is the staff nice? Here at Brightstar these questions are reassured right in front of your face. From the moment you walk in, staff is so bubbly and friendly. Almost everytime I come to the community, there's some fun activity going on in the common areas. From live music to happy hour, even UNO! The residents seem far from bored. I love how small this building is as well, it makes it all the better. Everyone knows everyone. This facility is always clean and smells great. The food is made from scratch and there are a minimum of 6 activities per day! (WOW)

LakeHouse Coldwater
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

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!
