Recent reviews of Independent Living in Malcolm, 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.
