Very happy, great staff,
Great staff and very clean facility. Staff goes the extra mile to meet the needs of the residents. There are many activities for residents, in-house care is great, food is very tasty.
The location is wonderful and it is easy for residents to walk to the nearest store for shopping

Review for Care Cardinal Cascade
I would definitely recommend it to others. We have had some hiccups but NOT the "fault" of CCC. My mom has been there now for just over 3 months. It's her dementia that is slowly getting worse, so that hinders how much she is able or willing to be involved in the activities provided there. The only issue I have is not being able to call someone after hours if I have a concern. I have tried and gotten no answer at any of the "main" numbers. Otherwise, it is truly a lovely place in all regards. [name removed], the Director, rates a 100-star review. She was a huge reason we opted to take mom there. I hope and pray she never leaves. Her staff is also top-notch.

Aids and staff are really friendly and willing to help. The meals vary quite a bit and are balanced. Administration is easy to work with. We picked this community because it was smaller, wide hallways, and less expensive.

I had a great experience when moving my family member in, I received help from the night maintenances man who went above and beyond, he made my fathers move in smooth. As far as the care, the dinning and activities, its too early in his stay.

A Wonderful Place
Whatever the place was like a few years ago, it's certainly changed since! The facility if lovely and in a wonderful location, near anything you might need but far enough back to avoid traffic. The staff work hard and care about the residents. Management also helps and has open doors constantly. Each activity every day is resident chosen and tailored to their interests, and the food is phenomenal. They hire their own chefs, so everything is in-house, not provided by an outside group.

Don't bring ur love ones here
No staff. Resident are always soiled. Lack of training. The Alzheimer's part only has one RA to take care of 20 plus residents. The administration is always changing. They are forcing their religion on residents and staff. I wouldn't put my love ones there. The rooms have bugs in them. No activities that are continuous. The Supervisors are rude and don't know the residents. Resident stay with UTIs and falls.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We do provide more aides per resident than you observed, and while we are under new management, Emerald Meadows' operations staff has been with us for decades. We also do have area ministers who volunteer their time with our community, but we welcome people of any faith, and do not discriminate based on religious beliefs, whether it be our staff or our residents. I know that only addresses a few of the thoughts you brought up, so I welcome you to contact our Community Manager Evan Geels at [removed] or [removed] so we can discuss this further.

Little Too Late For Showing Improvement
When you feel the need to remove a loved one from a facility then you know things are bad. Despite the numerous discussions and concerns that have been brought forth things are slowly starting to change for how long hopefully permanently but who knows. There is poor communication between staff issues with medication. We no longer feel that it is in the best interest to keep our loved one there so we are taking them out.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about Emerald Meadows. I would like to first apologize that your experience was less than satisfactory! I am glad you took the time to share your concerns — and if you have any issues you'd like to discuss further, I hope you will contact me again. I’m glad you have noticed the positive changes we've made, and I am confident that these improvements will persist.
Sincerely,

They are superb here
My husband is so happy at Emerald Meadows Assisted Living, the staff are super, they take such good care of their residents. My husband even likes being a part of all the great activities and special events and going out on the terrific field trips they have there. He enjoys the food and going to to the dining area where he can socialize with the other residents. He is making friends and we would both recommend Emerald Meadows to everyone looking for a place for their loved ones. They are superb here.

Bad DON
Some of the staff seemed very nice. The DON however I found to be very rude and unprofessional. She was not only rude to me but to the individual who I visited as well. When she left the room the resident stated to me "she doesn't like me very much". I found the environment to be tense and unwelcoming because of her and would not recommend sending a loved one there for that reason.

Please don't put your loved ones here
I could write a book about this place and would never leave a loved one here. They are under staffed make all kinds of excuses for errors. Medicine is never given on time or at all! Workers are in break room on cell phones or no where to be found. When you walk in at times all you smell is urine and the poor residents are soiled in it. Some of the workers are very rude and treat residents like they are a burden. Please don't put your loved ones here they deserve better!

Very nice place and employees. A lot of them come and go or fired for dumb reason and they were the best employee. The new DON is really werid and call herself helpimg out but making herself look dumb. Keep family away from here, the only ones that really care about your family members are the employee that work there the supervisors don't care at all. Missing the old DON......

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Michigan regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Valley Pines 8.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
