Recent reviews of Senior Apartments in Southgate, MI
Thomas F Taylor Towers in Westland, MI
5.0

This is the cleanest and prettiest section 8 building I have ever seen. My mother moved from another senior tower in the area to Taylor Towers and we were amazed at the difference in amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have strict rules and guidelines for resident behavior which was wonderful to see compared to my mother's former building. We waited two years to get my mother off the wait list and into an apartment. It was well worth the wait. She is so happy!

Gibraltar Manor
5.0

My husband and I have no complaints about living here. The staff are very nice and friendly and they keep the complex very clean and neat. They keep us active and they really care about us. They even go to the hospital and check in on the ones who end up in the hospital. This place is everything I thought it would be, we love it here. Based on our experience so far we would definitely recommend Gibraltar Manor to other families.

Great place if you are totally independent or have a live-in caregiver; so don't expect personal assistance from management. They provide transportation to the grocer twice a week. Farmington Hills provide transportation to other places. Love the personal entrances. Maintenance could be improved.
