This is not the place you want your elderly family member to be for rehab. My 94 year old mother…read morewas there after a hip fracture, surgery, and a 10 day hospital stay. Prior to her fall she was able to walk with a walker. After 10 days in a hospital bed, she was very weak and barely able to stand. The Bellbrook rehab staff was not very patient with her (despite saying it could take up to a year at her age to recover from her injuries) and after a week decided that she was fearful and unable to stand or walk. She is now totally wheelchair dependent. After being at Bellbrook for 3 weeks, she was told she had to be discharged - despite insurance authorizing her to stay for another week! Discharge planning was abysmal. The care is safe, but not family centered. They do not include the family at all, insisting that family members leave the room, "while they provide care". I suppose if you would like to drop your loved one off and not be involved with their care at all, this would be ok, but it was not ok with me.

While I did look at other places I kelp thinking back to the Arbor Inn. Ultimately they were the best choice for her. While all of the staff is warm and welcoming the caregivers are the best.

I was there for a tour of the community today on behalf of a family member who will be needing…read morecare. Before I even entered the building, I saw, first hand how a staff member responded to a resident in need. The resident was enjoying the fresh air outside and had taken a fall in rounding the corner. I didn't see the actual fall but as I got out of my car, I saw that he was on the ground and bleeding on his forearm, rushed over to him as he was on his hands and knees in the driveway. I told him I would stay with him until help arrived. Just then a staff member was pulling into the parking lot, likely to start her shift. She saw us, immediately pulled her car up behind the resident to block/protect him from anyone else that might be driving in, jumped out of her car, rushed over to assess his condition, called for help with a sense of urgency and thanked me for waiting there with him. I was so impressed by the sense of urgency, confidence, obvious great training, empathy, compassion and dignity shown to this resident by this staff member, I knew right away that this organization is special. I've toured many communities in my career in healthcare and now that my family member is involved, I know what to look for. More than a basic, staged "tour" of a community, I actually got to experience what this community does to care for its residents on a daily basis. That, for me, was priceless. A care community is far more than a pretty entrance, with balloons and a grand piano. It's the staff who care for the residents day-to-day that counts. I ended my tour today after having met with management, who were equally as impressive. Arbor Inn gets an A+ plus from me.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I am writing to request an immediate investigation into concerns that have been publicly raised regarding the treatment and care of residents at Chester Street Residence in Royal Oak. I recently became aware of allegations describing potentially serious issues involving resident care, supervision, sanitation, medication practices, and staff conduct. The allegations include concerns that residents may be left in soiled diapers for extended periods, receive inadequate personal care, experience neglect, and may not be properly monitored for their safety and well-being. Additional allegations suggest possible inappropriate medication practices, including the use of medications in a manner that may unnecessarily sedate residents. Concerns have also been raised regarding staff professionalism, supervision, and overall compliance with standards expected in a long-term care facility. The reports further describe incidents involving resident safety, including claims of residents wandering away, escaping supervision, suffering injuries, and other preventable events. If true, these allegations would represent a significant risk to vulnerable elderly and disabled individuals who depend on facility staff for their daily care and protection. Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and professionalism. Family members place tremendous trust in these facilities to provide safe and appropriate care. Any indication of neglect, abuse, inadequate staffing, unsafe conditions, or failure to meet regulatory standards should be thoroughly reviewed.

The staff treated him with such kindness, dignity, and compassion every single day. They didn't just provide care -- they built relationships. They went out of their way to make sure he was comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. What meant the most to us was how they also supported our family. They became like family to us -- offering reassurance, warmth, and understanding during a very emotional time. Knowing he was in such loving hands brought us tremendous peace. We cannot thank the team at Chester Street Residence enough for the heart they put into what they do. If you are looking for a place where your loved one will be treated like family, this is it.

Our family placed our mother in Grace Senior Living expecting basic safety, dignity, and…read moreresponsible oversight. Instead, what we experienced left us heartbroken, frustrated, and ultimately fearful for her wellbeing. We had multiple meetings with management about her care plan, her daily needs, and the fact that she was a known fall risk (she was a dementia memory care resident) We made her needs very clear, repeatedly. Yet her care plan was rarely followed, and vital information was not passed down to the staff, or completely ignored by those who were supposed to be caring for her. Watching this play out time after time was devastating. Our biggest struggle was with management. Our interactions with Kim Briley, one of the owners, were discouraging and dismissive. Instead of responsibility or solutions, we were met with excuses and comments that made us lose confidence in the facility's leadership. She told us directly that many of her staff were lazy, improperly trained, or didn't have a high school education. She also made the comment that "they can't be watching her 24/7," which felt like a complete disregard for the fact that we were paying for supervision, safety, and adherence to her care plan -- especially given her being documented as late stage dementia and a fall risk. Amid the chaos, a few staff members stood out for their genuine compassion: Jessica, Tiffany, Colette, Christina, and Kiera. They cared about our mother and tried their best despite the lack of support and structure from management. They were the few bright spots in an otherwise deeply disappointing experience. The breaking point -- the moment we will never forget -- was when our mother fell and fractured her hip. In our view, this was preventable had her care plan been followed and communicated properly. After everything we had voiced and tried to address, this outcome was devastating. Obviously there was an ambulance ride to the ER followed by surgery and rehab. We removed our mom from Grace immediately. Not once did Kim reach out to check on Mom. Another disheartening find was learning that the facility is not even licensed by the State of Michigan! This only added to the pain and regret we felt. We trusted Grace Senior Living with someone we love dearly. That trust was broken. Based on our experience, we cannot and will not recommend this facility to any family seeking consistent safe, reliable, or compassionate care.

What really stands out are the activities--there's always something going on, and it's clear they put real thought into keeping residents engaged, active, and social. My mom genuinely looked forward to participating and always had something fun to talk about afterward. Most of all, the staff is incredible. Every single person we interacted with was kind, patient, and truly caring. You can tell they don't just "do a job"--they really care about the residents and treat them like family. My elderly mother was very happy during her time there, and as a family, we felt so supported and at ease knowing she was in such good hands.
