Realizing that a family member needs 24-hour care is very difficult to cope with. I consider myself very fortunate to have made only one phone call to Devonshire Retirement Village and all of my questions were answered, and a plan was made. We took a tour of the Devonshire Lapeer location and we’re impressed with how clean and beautifully decorated everything was. It is like being in a luxury hotel, not at all like a “nursing home” or “group home”environment. Each resident has their own room and a private bathroom mimicking apartment living. I cannot say enough about how great the staff is. They truly do care for the residents as if they are family. They have daily activities such as exercise class, arts and crafts, trivia and other games to participate in. Recently they took a fishing trip and had a car show on the premises! I’m very grateful to have found Devonshire Retirement Village, My family and I can rest assured that my Dad is taking his medications, eating regularly and is being kept safe at all times. I highly recommend calling Devonshire if you find yourself in a situation like ours. The assistance and compassion we have received has made this transition a lot easier to manage.

My family and I have recently relocated my Father with Alzheimer’s to Devonshire and we wish we took him there first! My father has been at a fancy and expensive place in Rochester for the last year and a half, that did not provide him much love and care. The place looks first class but the high turnover of staff and lack there of attention for his care made us make the decision to look for somewhere better. We have found somewhere better and that is Devonshire in Lapeer! The love, the care and the at home feel Devonshire offers is unmatched. It’s truly a hidden gem of a facility as all of the new “Big Box” style care facilities continue to pop up in the surrounding area. The staff feels like family and you don’t feel like you’re an inconvenience when visiting and they are not playing on their phone like other facilities seem to reveal. The living spaces, dining areas, activity area and bedrooms are all well taken care of and the food is delicious too. We’d highly recommend for families in need of care for their loved one to look at Devonshire in Lapeer and not waste your time and money on the “fancy and lack care” places that are around. Your loved one will be happy you picked Devonshire for them.

Jeff was at another facility in Rochester that appeared new and beautiful. But it lacked a caring and compassionate staff. With Alzheimer’s it’s hard to tell how your loved one is really doing, but within the first hour we could see how happy Jeff was at Devonshire. Since he’s only 67, he’s extremely active and the staff has been fabulous in keeping him busy. He loved the car show, and he’s looking forward to going fishing. So happy we made the move!!!!

The staff at Devinshire has been absolutely amazing. They go out of their way to try to make sure that my wife is included in the activities there are held. In addition, they try everything under the sun to get my wife to eat when that is the last thing that she wants to do. They bring in Nutribullet blender‘s from home to make her smoothies to try to get her to consume some nourishment. They are absolutely terrific.

It is a small, homey residence. It wasn't overwhelming. The small areas allow caregivers to see, observe and care for their residents. The caregivers have all become a part of my Mom's family. I have complete faith that they are caring for not only her physical needs but her mental and emotional well-being. The availability of medical care, hair care and exercise is a real plus.

Devonshire Senior Living takes such good care of my mother. They make sure she is eating & drinking plenty of water. They are so kind & patient with her. She is kept clean and they encourage her to keep moving as much as she is capable of. The staff is very friendly and answers any questions I have. The food they prepare & serve is very good. My mom's apartment is good sized and kept clean for her. I have been so pleased with her care and haven't worried about her while living there, especially during Covid times.

My mother has been in the Devonshire community for over 3 years now; starting in Independent Living, moving to Assisted Living, and now Memory Care. I live out of state and have been overwhelmed with how well the leadership and staff know my mom and have been instrumental in observing her behaviors that led to each of these moves. The Memory Care rooms are homey and just the right size to not overwhelm a person living with dementia. Staff are friendly and always around when I visit. Residents are kept busy with a variety of activities geared toward their age and stage of memory loss.
