I moved into the new Stonebriar at Burcham Hills in October, 2021. Having planned from even before ground breaking to make this my rest-of-life home, I am very pleased that Stonebriar is meeting my expectations. My apartment is spacious, bright, and complete with full kitchen and washer/dryer. The staff is caring and responds to individual needs. The food is good especially in the restaurant-style Bistro. I have sampled many activities provided and am self-initiating a stitchery group. I am happy to have my dog with me. She meets the requirements of vacinations, license, and Good Citizenhip Certificate.

We are initial residents of StoneBriar, a new independent-living apartment building connected to the venerable Burcham Hills facility. Earlier generations of both of our families resided happily on the Burcham Hills campus.
As first residents, we were able to design (and pay for) improvements in our apartment that have contributed to our comfort. In these first few months we remain pleased with the services and facilities available at StoneBriar. The staff is excellent: uniformly friendly, helpful and kind.

I moved into the recently built Independent Living apartments which is the Stonebriar area. The apartments are lovely with a variety of choices regarding square footage. I am a widow and I was seeking a safe, social environment. I have lived in the facility for 3 months and have met many lovely people, both residents and staff members, Activities offered range from physical fitness classes, a ping pong and billiards table, art appreciation, Ted Talks, Travel videos, pianists and entertainers who visit and perform, special holiday events, a variety of lectures and group outings. The food is varied and very good and every staff member makes an effort to be helpful and friendly. The location is close to restaurants and shopping and, of course, MSU. I spend my winters in Florida and was somewhat reluctant to leave Stonebriar for the season because of the amenities and friends I had made in a brief period of time.

I am a resident in the Clusters, the independent housing located on Burcham Hills property. All residents had the opportunity to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination program. The vaccine was provided by and administered by Walgreens. The staff from Burcham Hills organized and managed this project and did an amazingly good job. We were notified well in advance of the day and each resident was scheduled for a specific time. Individual paperwork was completed prior to the day of vaccinations. We were checked in on time and had a place to wait which was a very short time. After being vaccinated we remained in the area for 15 minutes then were checked and excused. The whole process was smooth, fast, and pleasant; a credit to the staff and management personnel.

In addition there are physician / medical services with have earned their confidence and trust in meeting medical needs. Burcham has met specific health living needs: culinary for a strict dietary needs, transportation to medical appointments, in-house Physical / Occupation therapies, numerous activities, and services like the beauty salon. All services are complimented by a staff who excel at caring, and meeting resident / family needs.
The decision for Burcham is affirmed daily. Burcham meets excels meeting basic needs and incredible when dealing with the Covid19 crisis.

Dr. Perry's Medical Director has a MS in epidemiology, in addition to his MD his guidance is assuring. Burcham has a comprehensive processes, protocols that meet and exceed acute care facilities. For us, Burcham is a win-win and strongly recommend to those who live in the area, and the out-of-state family.

I live in a condo unit on the Burcham campus. Our condos are not in lockdown, but we are observing the social restrictions. Burcham has communicated often throughout the crisis. I am much impressed with the thoroughness and tone of their letters, the conduct of online meetings and leaflets they deposit in our mailboxes for recreational use.
Condo residents feel in touch with the larger institution. We miss going up there for activities but we are not forgotten. The staff is so dedicated, if I ever had to be in a lockdown situation, I can't imagine a better place to go through it!

I personally liked Burcham Hills very much. My mother felt it was like an institution because there were people in wheelchairs and one person had a neck brace, but these residents were very friendly. The dining room was not that huge, but I liked the activities and amenities they offered. I would have been very happy to have my mother there, but she didn't want anything to do with it. The person that met us was great. They have different room sizes available.

The tour at Burcham Hills was very nice, and there are a lot of amenities, but you pay for everything so the cost is very high. The rooms are smaller, and the cost is much higher. There are one-bedroom apartments and studios. The staff was very nice and friendly. They had a nice, big dining area, which was almost restaurant-style. They had an on-site barber and beauty shop and a workout area. It's a high-rise with no balconies or individual outdoor spaces.

Burcham Hills is an excellent, long-established organization with a continuum of care. The dining area is separate, and the rooms are set up to not have kitchens and cooking. There are open grounds and flowers.

I like that Burcham Hills has detached homes for one thing, but they were smaller than what we wanted, and they did not have the two car garages that we were looking for. We had a complementary lunch, and we got to meet with some current residents. We were told about things like their exercise program, and we were given a tour of their facility for nursing care and assisted living. We were taken around to some of the areas where there were recreational activities. We didn't spend as much time there as we might have because they really didn't have the prime interest for us. It was a good looking community -- a little bit dated -- but it seemed very comfortable. It is a place we might have considered had they had the right facilities.

This facility was absolutely glamorous. It was like walking into a 5-star hotel. The staff were so friendly and it didn't have the atmosphere of an assisted living facility. The only drawback for our family was that it was not Medicare funded. It was private pay only.

The facility is very nice, but we didn't get a full picture of the services available. For instance, they told us there is a nurse on staff 24/7 which is true. They did not tell us that she would not provide such basic services as listening to lungs of an asmatic patient, and would not necessarily respond when the caregiver would summon her for a nosebleed that wouldn't stop for my blind father. They stated a caregiver would respond w/in 5 minutes when summoned...often it is 10 and the last time I timed it it took 17 minutes. My father is blind and my mother has dementia...they really need the attention we were promised.
