The Brook Retirement of Gaylord
5.0

My mother-in-law is doing so well here and the changes we are seeing in her are wonderful. She is so much more social and active. There are a lot of amenities for the residents to take part in and she likes her apt which has a nice patio attached to it plus she enjoys going to the dining room, there was some issue with the food not being warm when it was served but that has been addressed. The staff is very friendly and attentive and it is nice seeing my mother-in-law happy.

August Haus in Gaylord, MI
5.0

From the first phone call, to the move-in, through the past three months of my sister living at August Haus, the entire staff has been extremely helpful and supportive and thorough and inclusive. Could not have picked a better place for my sister! Thank you so much to everyone involved in the entire process.
