We are very happy with the care and attention our loved is getting at Bay City. The activities person is always thinking of fun things to do i.e. indoor baseball games, cooking classes, dances etc. The staff take good care of our loved one and the residents appear to be happy.
Brookdale Midland

We chose Brookdale Midland because the staff that worked there all had nursing experience. They are all very knowledgeable and know things about my dad and what his likes and dislikes are.
Candlestone Assisted Living and Memory Care in Midland, MI

The facility is very nice and the staff are very attentive. But they do not have a transportation van. They have a cost scale based on degree of assistance needed, and given our situation, we are optimistic that costs will decrease over time as the resident improves.
