Clark Retirement at Franklin was very nice. They have all levels of care, from apartments to total care, but they're very expensive. I liked everything I saw. The only thing I didn't like was the price. The staff members were all nice. They have all varieties and types of facilities, and it's a very nice neighborhood close to downtown. They have a salon and an exercise room. For anyone who lives in Grand Rapids, it is a great location, because it's central. It's close to downtown, but it's not in downtown. It's not really north, it's not really south, it's not really east, and it's not really west, it's central.

Clark Retirement was very nice. They had the best menu of the four places I visited. The dining area was very nice. The menu was the most varied of any of the places I went to. I would rate Clark Retirement a 5 because it had everything I wanted except their prices are higher. It had many good features and probably the best features and the meal plans of any place; however, they have a long waiting list for a one-bedroom with a separate bedroom from the living room. They did have studio apartments, but I didn't want one of those. It was the price and the waiting; otherwise, I would have picked this community.

Residents and staff are friendly, kind and warm. My parents are so busy with activities I have to make an appointment to see them. It gives me great peace of mind to know that whatever their needs are, Clark will be there to provide for them.

When I moved here it was to make sure I wasn't a burden on my family who did not live in this part of the country. I chose Clark Retirement Home because of it's proximity to where I have lived all my life and because of the staff and the environment both inside and outside the actual facility. I find that the common room was something I enjoy using and it helps me learn about my neighbors and some of them have even become friends. The facility is set up with different apartments and is quiet compared to the rest of the city. I feel like I can call this place home. While I don't care for living in this part of the city, the actual facility and the residents here give me comfort and security. Clark Retirement Home has plenty of opportunities to go on excursions and to enjoy my independence.

My brother and I have recently helped our 98-year-old mother move into this facility. It has an excellent array of on-going care options at reasonable cost. Our mother is in independent-living at the moment and the staff has worked with her to provide some simple additional services as needed which will allow her to stay in the independent-living area as long as possible. The facility offers a wide variety of recreational activities which have allowed her to keep very active. She has found a Scrabble group (one of her favorite games) and is learning to play pool and has participated in a "lipdub" video.
