Dad’s happy!
We checked out several places before helping my dad move into Story Point. Of all the places we tried this is where he instantly felt the most welcome and at home. The first day a lady down the hall came over and introduced herself and invited him to dinner. Everyone I’ve met there from the tenants to the staff seems really kind and helpful. It’s taken a load off my mind to know that he is receiving the level of care that he does here.

We are living in a cottage at Story Point
We have been in the cottage for five years and have enjoyed our time here. Story Point also has a large building with apartments. We have met most of the residents. They are amazing people and are like a family. They have a wonderful time together. We have had an opportunity to do some things to help others. Most of them are older than we are. There is a “little Store” there. My wife and I have been buying items for the store like food, and magazines. We also get medical needs and bath products. We have been doing shopping for 4 years. The staff are very good at their jobs.

Friendly, caring staff
Came here for a ninety day respite, which has turned into a year. Although my ultimate goal is to go home, staying here is a pleasant alternative. There are numerous activities, a knowledgeable friendly staff, and two balanced and good tasting meals a day.

The staff met us on grandma’s move-in day and were very nice and helpful. She has been cared for well despite being ornry and not being overly kind and nice herself to staff and residents. She has a nice looking apartment and really likes her space. There seems to be a lot of social activities which is great.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Samaritas Senior Living of Grand Rapids

A Place for Mom has scored Samaritas Senior Living of Grand Rapids 9.8 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.
