Of course the transition of moving from her home of many years to an independent living community wasn't the easiest move but she couldn't be happier. And if mama's happy, her kids are happy! The community is gorgeous -- anyone can see that but the staff is incredible! The compassion, respect and care given by the entire team tops any senior community out there. It's obvious they work so well together as a team -- you don't see turnover like other communities. The residents are like family -- everyone looks out for one another and truly enjoy each other's company. Cedarbrook is the most wonderful place for our Mom. We are so glad we found you.

I just read the one review for Plymouth Inn, and was shocked. The reviewer did not identify her…read morerelationship to Plymouth Inn. I don't know if this is a consumer review (she has a relative who resides/resided there), if she is a disgruntled former employee, or if she got this information second hand. My review is based on my experience as the daughter of a resident who lived at Plymouth Inn for about two years, 2012-2014. I concede that my information isn't current, but it may be enough to make you at least consider this facility. My mother was in her mid-90s when I moved her here from an assisted living facility that did not have the care she was promised. Plymouth Inn was suggested by my mom's Physician Assistant because of the quality of care provided there. It struck me as being a step up from most assisted living facilities, because there was always a nurse on duty. Joanne was in charge, and was always available for any question I had, or problem my mom was having. The first person I met wasn't a salesperson trying to make a sale, it was Joanne, who is a nurse, and was the head nurse. She kept track of what was going on. Because the building is smaller than the large, corporate facilities, the employees soon learned my mom's name, and mine, or at least recognized me as Mom's daughter. We never had a serious problem while Mom lived there. She enjoyed the activities, used the beauty salon, and had a nice sized room. I was there 3-4 times a week, so I kept tabs on what was going on. After five months, I was comfortable enough to take a week's vacation, and later to have foot surgery, after which I was unable to visit for several weeks. I trusted the staff to continue their good care of Mom, while my brother and my daughter took over some of my visits. Eventually, Mom made the move to a nursing home. It was hard saying goodbye to so many of the nurses, aids, and other staff that I had come to know there, and especially Joanne, who had been so helpful to me. I recommend that you consider Plymouth Inn for your loved one, and remember, the most important thing is the care they get. PS--the 4 stars is because at the time my mom lived there, she was unable to have a low sodium diet. They let me bring in some lower sodium products for her. The two facilities she was in previously had the same problem. I don't know if that has changed.

I thought a long time before I wrote this post. I was very persistent with my family to bring my…read moremom to the Plymouth Inn because I knew two other people who's parents were residents there years ago and were very happy. I could go on and on about the several incidents that happened in her short (two months) time there, but I won't because there are some staff members who do really care about the residents. There are, however, underpaid staff members who should not be employed there. My mother did have some dementia, which made her act angry and very verbal on occasions. The staff must not have been trained to understand the disease because several of them would take offense towards my mother. That saddened me, because this was not my moms normal disposition. I tried to be patient since my mom was new , but when I found out someone had entered her room at night, went into her walker compartment, took out her wallet and stole all her cash, that's when I lost it! From then on, I knew I would never feel comfortable with my mom there even though I visited almost everyday. My brother flew in and immediately took her back to Florida with him. She's 94 years old and I miss her so much. All her family is here in Michigan, but at this point, she feels comfortable with him because she was never comfortable at the Plymouth Inn. Like I said, many of the staff have been there for years and are very good at what they do, but because of the employee shortage and the need to hire people who are not trained has taken a toll. Unfortunately, my family, especially my mom had to be a part of it.

There have been a lot of changes in the management of the property since then. One of the most striking was that the prohibited smoking anywhere in or outside of the building. This concerned a lot of people who are smokers and will now have to find another place to liveIf they so desire. The overall living experience has not changed. I recently moved from Plymouth Park Apts. to my own home. I can Say that my stay at Plymouth Park apartments was very special. The people there are wonderful and I still find myself going back to play cards with a number of the residents. I would recommend living at Plymouth Park Apts. if you feel you cannot take care of a private home.

They do not dispute the services with us. The activity director promised several times to send us payment for our services and has not followed through. The executive director, regional administrator and the activity director have blamed the lack of payment on their corporate office. Supposedly, they are going to correct the situation, but they have not done so for months. This must justify why they are totally unable to get small invoices paid, do not follow through about providing an answer about sending payments and then do not send us payment. Are they having financial issues generally? Who knows. This is a disservice to the elderly who live there as well as to the honest vendors who provided them with services.

From the day I first called Independence Village - Plymouth and spoke with Raena, I knew I was…read moredealing with a facility very different than the other 15 I had called and visited. Right before I walked in to meet Raena, the community specialist, for the first time, I said to my sister, who accompanied me, "I have a good feeling about this place." And I was right! Raena was knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. She answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable. The community is clean and relaxed and visually appealing. But more importantly is the culture of the facility. I witnessed employees joking around with each other more than once! They were happy at work - imagine that! The residents were happy as well, and both the employees and residents were welcoming to my sister and me who were strangers on a tour. The community has activities every single day, a doctor that visits once a week, a hair salon, game rooms, meal service, laundry service, a 24 hour receptionist and I could go on and on. On move in day we were all a little nervous, but my family member was welcomed with open arms and that welcome has not stopped yet! I can honestly say that she is getting personalized attention (and love) from the staff and all of the residents have been so very kind and encouraging to her. Mary (Community Liason) has been an asset to getting my family member settled. She has honestly gone above and beyond and is still, 3 months later, helping my family member adjust. I can't say enough about this facility!

The food…read morewas good, my mother made some very nice friends during her stay there, and there were plenty of activities for the residents and their families. We were grateful that there was a unit available large enough for two people so we were able to keep my parents together per their wishes. The bad: We had problems with housekeeping, laundry, billing practices, and obtaining my parents' records upon leaving the facility. Some things were discussed with us during the contract signing (such as a rate guarantee special that was being offered at the time) that we had to insist on getting in writing before we would sign. Also, the Brookdale agent said things such as, "Oh, I don't know why our contract still says that. We need to have that changed" or "Don't worry about that part". It was quite unnerving to be asked to sign contracts involving many thousands of dollars per month under those conditions. The most troublesome issues for our family at Brookdale Northville had to do with medical care. My parents' long-time physician was on a leave of absence when they moved in, so we made the difficult decision to contract with Brookdale for health care. We paid extra each month (in addition to what Medicare and secondary insurance were billed) for the services of Dr. Frank Winters and for the Brookdale healthcare team, and things overall did not go well. During my parents' residency at Brookdale we experienced failure of the care team to properly follow doctor's written orders; medication administration, ordering, and billing issues; inaccurate record-keeping; and frequent communication difficulties regarding medications, illnesses, treatments, test results, outside referrals, etc. The ugly: Each of my parents left Brookdale Northville under dire medical circumstances, via ambulance, at our family's insistence. Our family repeatedly expressed concerns to Dr. Winters and to the medical staff that my father was getting weaker, continued to have atrial fibrillation and anemia, that his breathing sometimes sounded raspy, and that he complained of increased fatigue and trouble breathing. We made multiple requests for the doctor to check on his lungs. We were repeatedly reassured by Dr. Winters directly or through healthcare staff - even up until just a few days before my father landed in the ER - that his lungs were fine. This was also after several inquiries by various family members over the prior months about sending our father to the hospital due to his increasing weakness and other symptoms. We were repeatedly told that his problems could be handled "as an outpatient" and that he wasn't sick enough to be admitted to the hospital. My father ultimately became so weak that he couldn't stand, and our family instructed for an ambulance to be called. He was quickly diagnosed with a collapsed lung in the ER, and he died after several days in the hospital. My mother had a sudden and erratic decline in her mental and physical condition, which turned out to be due to a urinary tract infection and hyponatremia (very low sodium levels in the blood). This was not recognized or pursued by Dr. Winters and the care team despite apparent classic symptoms, concerns expressed by family members about our mother's significant change in mental status, her recent hospitalization for low sodium, and multiple falls over several days due to extreme weakness. Dr. Winters wrote in a visit report three days prior to her being rushed to the ER that urinary tract infection was a possibility, but he failed to follow through on ordering any lab tests to rule it out or to treat it. In his summary, he actually wrote that my mother's erratic behavior was likely due to dementia (she did not have a prior diagnosis of dementia). In retrospect, we wish we had known about services such as GoDocsGo, which offer in-home (or in- facility) health care. Please see separate review for Novi Lakes.
