9 Best Independent Living Communities in Crystal Beach, MI

Everyone has been good to work with. The new owners have been doing upgrades and overdue maintenance that was not done by the previous owners. The food isn't what I would call restaurant quality but with so many to feed. They do offer some simpler options. They increased mom's care and adjusted billing to accommodate her. But the staff on her floor have been great when I'm there. Many say how they love her and enjoy what sense of humor she has left. She is in hospice but still resides there. So I am grateful for that. The only downside is that if she runs out of money, they do not accept Medicaid.

One thing that I found very helpful here is when I need help the caregivers are quick to respond. I also appreciate that the hallways and rooms are kept clean. Also, grateful that I do not have to do my cooking or my laundry. I did find it challenging when I first arrived that medications are handled by the pharmacy through assistive living. I have been in the hospital 4 times in the past few months since living here so medication have been a challenge.

We chose River Ridge because she wanted to be in the South Haven area and this was the best facility we found.. It also came recommended so we went to tour and were impressed. The apartment sizes are great, my mom really likes her space. [name removed] and [name removed] are both very helpful and we enjoy speaking with them. She does say that the food can be hit or miss, but I know that they are trying their best to please a lot of people. Things are going really well here and I would definitely recommend them.
