We are leaning towards Great Lakes Christian Home for my mother. We liked everything they had to offer. The price point was right on target. We toured the apartment, and it was very nice. The amenities were very nice. They had a lot to offer. The staff was very knowledgeable, was able to give us all the information, answered all of our questions, and was very friendly. She did give us a calendar that showed all the things they do, and there was quite a bit offered there. We did get to tour inside the church and the cafe. The salon wasn't open yet, they're remodeling, but we did look in there. And then she took us through a game room and a library.

We're hoping to get into the Great Lakes Christian Home because we know people there, it's close to where we live now and where our son is. We like the setting and people that we met like the staff, as well as residents that we met, and the available activities that are coming back. The staff who gave us the tour answered all our questions and was very helpful. Everything was shut down as far as activities during the pandemic, so they're bringing things back. Everything is clean and well maintained. They have a salon and a library. From what I know, the value of money is good. We have friends who live there.

I think that Great Lakes Christian Homes is awesome; I have high ratings for them. My brother-in-law has his apartment and they bring him 1 meal a day; that's about all the assistance they give him. They have friendly staff, the place is clean and the people are very helpful. If you have any questions, they're very willing to answer. With COVID, the activities are very scaled- down but the other day when I was there they had a cup painting activity in the main lobby area. He said he hasn't eaten anything there that he didn't like yet. They had a stove and a full-sized refrigerator.

I've been to the Great Lakes Christian Homes a couple of times. It was a very nice place and I would certainly recommend it to someone who needed a place. Some of the people that we met were very friendly and very professional. The rooms were fine. It's in a rural area and it's in the South side of Lansing.

I have already made an application at Great Lakes. I already have my apartment repaired and reserved for me. I’ve been over there about three times now and I’ve noticed socially, that there are different groups in different rooms doing different activities; like one room doing puzzles and in another room playing cards. My impression is that they seemed very friendly and efficient; I will know that more when I get to over there and also to see how well they prepared my apartment. It appeared to be very clean and very nice, however there are a few things that they noticed themselves that they said will be fixed before I came in there; so I was very impressed with that. I don’t know if they’ll follow through but I’m assuming they will. My mother did live there for a couple of years before she passed away, so there is some background there. They have a chapel on site with a chaplain, which appeals to me. They have a very nice library. They have a very nice dining area and its restaurant type style. They have a little gift shop, a beauty shop and a barber shop that offers not only hair care but pedicures and manicures as well. The other thing that impressed me is that there is no smoking in the property at all and no animals either; just birds and fish but no dogs or cats. The staff was very friendly, outgoing and very helpful.
