Recent reviews of Independent Living in Leelanau County, MI
Frankfort Pines
5.0

My mother lived here the last months of her life. The facility was always clean. She said she never had a bad meal, The owners and staff were always very pleasant to deal with and would absolutely go the extra mile to ensure the residents are happy and well taken care of. Just 4 days before my mothers death she told me that "the people here make me feel like someone special", what more can be added to that. Frankfort Pines is a great choice for loved ones that require assisted living. My mother was in the early stages of Alzeheimers and our family was very comfortable with the level of carer that she received there. The staff here is first class.

Traverse Manor in Traverse City, MI
5.0

They do a great job overall at Traverse Manor! The staff is very friendly and take great care of the people who live here. The facility itself is very clean, and they offer a lot of great amenities, including good food and a busy activity schedule.

The Brook of Boyne City

I was extremely nervous about moving my parent into the Boyne City facility from reading the reviews. My Mother has been there for three months now and absolutely loves it!!! They are under new management and are fully staffed with staff that's extremely caring and passionate about caregiving!! And some of the staff are licensed. (They technically don't have to be legally to pass basic meds) the facility is clean very well-kept. My mother absolutely adores the activities, they accommodate all her dietary needs. The staff go above and beyond. If I could live there I would!!! Lol
