Great Lakes Christian Home

Great Lakes Christian Home was excellent. I was very impressed with the place. Everything was fine. I asked a couple of members there and they thought the food was fine. They have very few two-bedroom rooms there, but they showed me the one-bedroom, and it was very spacious, so I was very impressed with it. They just didn't have any opening at the time. They have a beautiful chapel, and they use that as a movie room, too. They have all kinds of recreational things going on here and there, and they have a huge room for activities. The lady that assisted me was very nice. She introduced me to other staff that went around and they seemed very nice, too. If my son was staying there in Holt, I would very much consider staying there. The building was very nicely kept, more modern, and newer than the other place.

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.

Great Lakes Christian Home is a wonderful community. The main part of their campus is a large building with small apartments for people who can still live mostly independently, but may need some assistance. For people in the main building, not only do they get their own private apartment, but they also get cleaning service, and meal service for one day a week. There's an active community with always some activity going on, and several on-site services like a library and barbershop. For people who have retired, but aren't yet ready for the services in the main building there are independent living townhomes. One of the other services that I've appreciated as a family member of one of the residents is that they've set aside several apartments in the main building that can be reserved when family members visit. It's cheaper and closer than a hotel, but still keeps us all from having to sleep on top of each other. It also has to be said that the staff is wonderful and caring and warm, and really help make this place a tremendous place to live.
