Bethesda Ranch AFH in Portage, MI

It's so family oriented facility, where the residents are treated like one of the family. Care is second to none. We liked the smallness and the people that cared for my mother, and also the, country setting on a lake.
Bickford of Portage

It has been a good experience so far. Communication is not consistent, but the staff has been wonderful to work with. I chose it because it was cozy and felt more like a home my father would be comfortable in.
