Recent reviews of Independent Living in Union, MI
Grand Emerald Place in South Bend, IN
4.9

I appreciate how friendly everybody is. Most of the time the care is okay. Getting my loved one to keep the fall detector lanyard on her neck has been a challenge, but that's not on them. They have a back patio, and I think they're going to be having a garden. And the inside is pretty nice.

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!
