Divine Life Assisted Living Center #2

This is a smaller community with low staffing. They are very caring, and I would trust them again with my loved one. The communication tends to be mediocre; however, they are good about calling if there is an incident with my loved one. I do wish there was more communication about medical needs of my loved one and what the medical team says about my loved one.

The staff members are very friendly and cooperative, when it comes to the care services they pay great attention to our loved one. The meals always look and smell really good, however the activities on the memory care side could be a little bit better.

Upon arriving I walk in and was greeted by no one. Staff was on phone with owner who was yelling so I went looking for someone else. Only one staff member working at this time. Which concerned me greatly. The person I scheduled with forgot. Staff member gave me a quick tour as she was working. I was able to walk around myself and if I had any questions to ask. Came around dinner, frozen food was being prepared. Patients were in chairs with tv. The building wasn’t disgusting but not very clean. I did not see any activities of lists of events. The menu is a 4 week rotation. The lady showed me the menu and pantry. Lots of frozen and boxed food. If fresh is your thing this is not the place. She said they are not allowed to make many food substitutions, and no extra food. Families are responsible for extra servings. All rooms were different which I liked. They even had a pink room which I thought was too much. Never got a call back to reschedule.

First impression - although our appointment for tour had been confirmed via email, nobody knew we were coming. Walking in to building - the floor was dirty and it felt cluttered and dark. The building was old and worn. Visit left a very bad impression.

This is it! Owner [name removed] is kind, professional, warm, and good at her job. She took a lot of time with me answering questions and working out details to make this move happen for my dad. The facilities she runs are clean and staffed with caring people. We chose the new Lansing location with locked doors for my father with Alzheimers. After spending 1 year and over 5 thousand dollars per month at a corporate owned facility, the price she charges is much more reasonable for just about the same level of care. Finding New Life is an answer to prayer and we thank our Heavenly Father for leading us to this good place.

We like this community for care for my mom. The staff are nice and caring to my mother's needs. The community is clean with a nice environment. I like knowing that she does like the menu and likes the variety. She is happy here and that is very important for me to know. I would highly recommend this community to others wanting a good value with good care.

The caregivers take good care of mom and her personnel needs. They are friendly and personable. The food is homemade, healthy and tastes good. They keep mom's room the home clean. They have lounge chairs and are near the lake. This home is welcoming and very comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone.

Overall I am pretty happy with them. It's clean and the staff is pretty friendly, and they offer plenty of activities. The food is pretty good, but it would be nice if they offered some more salads, and a little more variety for healthy food. We liked the access by buses, and how close it is to Lake Lansing. We liked that they didn't have carpeting which made it easier to get around. We liked that they washed the clothes everyday, and how friendly the staff is.
