Great facility overall
For the short time she was there the staff and facility were great. She was only there for 5 months. We chose Sandlewood Creek primarily on location but the staff was very nice and accommodating.

Accommodating staff, great location
I set up appointments to look at facilities and 2 of my sisters toured them. It was the location of Sandalwood Creek that really sold it for us. We needed to keep mom local. The staff was very gracious and accommodating when mom declined quickly.

Our experience with Sandalwood so far
We chose Sandalwood Creek because they offered a locked down memory care unit, it fit our price range, and the location was great for family. I would tell others that you really have to keep on them about communication about your loved ones, so do not be afraid to do so. I would recommend this facility for those that are in the area.

It's Not The Fanciest Place, But They Take Good Care Of The Residents
The community is very good at taking care of the residents. They have low staff and lots of turnover, I'm not happy with that. Overall my loved one is very happy there. There are some concerns my loved one has; however, my loved one won't talk about them. I'm trying to communicate by phone or email with the community.

There are no words to describe the uneasiness of placing your loved one in the care of others. However, i cannot express enough how welcomed we felt at Wadhams Creek. Upon our approach into the home, my husband and I felt welcomed and this is the best fit for “our” mom. The manager onsite is a GEM! Tryuly reduced our fears and assured us our mom would feel “at home.”

Likes The Community Very Much
My husband is doing very well here since moving. He is enjoying socializing with the residents and making new friends. I haven't seen any activities being done while I am there but I'm sure it is just the timing of when I am there. The staff is very friendly towards the residents and the families. The property is always clean and well maintained. The location is perfect for me to visit it's only about a 10-minute drive from my house. Once we saw this community there was no need to visit another one.

Home and Care
We like the care that is given here. The community is very nice and clean. The meals are good. They do have activities for those who can participate. It is a home feeling and not a hospital. A comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend this for a good home feeling with outstanding care and value for a loved one.

Impressive!
I'm really impressed with everything, they have every-day activities, and it was so much better than any of us had expected. My grandma is loving it there, we've offered for her to come back home but she's now talking about staying there permanently!

Very nice place!
I think they do a great job overall at Wadhams Creek Senior Community. The facility itself is clean and well kept, and the staff have all been very friendly and accommodating. My loved was initially very resistant to the idea of moving, but they really seem to have won him over, he is settling in well! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking into memory care in the area.

They are great with my husband. Every time I call, if I can't get out there, they don't have to check with someone to see how my husband is doing, everyone who has answered the phone can tell me. It's a small enough place that they ALL care & know all there residents on a personal basis. It's just not a job for them, they really care. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a place they feel they can trust there loved one with.

I just wanted to say Thank You for giving my mom such wonderful care. I've always appreciated it, but I really saw it during the last 2 weeks of her life. The interaction that was exchanged between the two of you was priceless. The warmth of the smiles, hugs, & love spoke multitudes. I'll never forget it & how you all showed your love. Thank You So Much!

Great one on one attention
There really wasn't anything to improve on, they were very good, very attentive. They had lots of different types of areas where mom could be; if she wanted to be with the group she could and if she wanted to be by herself and watch tv she could do that too. I felt that they were more attentive to those that needed one on one care. They had lots of different things for them to do, it's still a very large facility, but I felt more comfortable that if she wasn't participating in group activities she was still being supervised.

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 Sandalwood Creek 8.5 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.
