Our Experience so far
My loved one is currently a resident at Sterling Heights and overall things have been good so far. The staff is very attentive and very helpful, especially when moving in. The housekeeping and communication with the family is good. There is just turnover at the management level, the staff changes too often. Also, the food is horrible and my loved one barely eats it. I don't know what they can do for better food. I would recommend Sterling Heights to others, but with the understanding about the food.

Our family experience
We gave the meals and dining service 4 stars only due to the food prepare sometimes. The facility is very beautiful and provides many activities. Each holiday they have a different theme filled day and decorations. The have a very good transportation system in place too. They also have a monthly activities calendar.

Nice Community
The interaction with the staff was pretty good. The food is plain, and my loved one does not really like it. They can improve on the food. We picked this community, because it is attractive/nice, location and it met our needs the best.

Bring back Managers
My Mother was there for [date removed]. Seen numerous Managers come and go. Few months back, Sterling Heights had a set of Managers, [name removed] and [name removed] , who were absolutely amazing! They were there for the Residents. Ran the community great and had the respect of all residents and family. Hawthorn needs to bring them back to get this back running to where it should be. [name removed] was one that ran around and never sat down to keep it all flowing. [name removed] always tended to the needs of everyone. All done with care. Step up Hawthorn and get them back.

Lovely Community
My mother recently moved into Sterling Heights. From the moment we met with Managers [names removed], we knew we made the right decision. They knew I was very protective of my Mother. With that, they reached out to me daily and informed me of her behavior. Turns out, she fell right in place and made herself a home. I highly recommend Sterling Heights as the Managers are wonderful and keep our loved ones safe.

I would definitely recommend the facility, the food is the only issue our loved one has had
So far our loved one is happy there, he has no complaints about the cleanliness of the community or the staff members. There are a few ladies that have been super helpful towards him with memory care stuff. However, they just hired on a new chef so the meals and dining service is rated a little lot. Our loved one says the meals have been getting better the last couple of weeks, but the service is pretty slow. It takes almost 2 hours to get dinner because they just don't have enough staffing. We also think the cost is a little high for what they are providing. It says the meals are all provided but there are certain drinks our loved one has to buy, and the ice cream machine hasn't been working.

My mom was very happy here at Sterling Heights. We chose this facility at the time because it seemed like a great community but she was in and out of the hospital so she did not get to experience it a whole lot. I would recommend them highly to others looking.

Beautiful
I recently visited my Aunt for the first time this week in over a year due to Covid. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by the Asst Manager. It was great to see a familiar face. There were residents sitting all around chatting, laughing and smiles on the faces. What a relief to actually see that. Sterling is one of the best places to live. I would highly recommend to family and friends.

Look no further:..:
If you are looking for an independent Senior community, look no further. This facility is bright and cheerful. The staff is very friendly as are the residents. I get no bills here, including tv and internet. I gave up my car because the facility provides transportation for shopping and medical appointments. I do have a larger apartment than I reAlly need, but I can move to a 1 bedroom if the increase in rent is more than my income.

Unique living choice for older people
My mother just passed away at 91 after living here 16 months. She had a very good experience at Sterling. It is a beautiful new living community. She did not want to be in a medical community with constant judgment about whether she was in decline and needed more supervision and an increase in fees. Sterling Heights does not have medical personnel. As time passed and she did decline she needed a helper to remind her to take her pills. A Home Helper company has an office in the complex. For an additional fee they came to her apartment to remind her to take her pills which I set up in pill boxes. The manager was especially helpful in monitoring whether she needed more help. The activities were very stimulating and respectful of the intellect of the residents. I thought it was like being on a cruise. You choose what you want to do . If you don't want to participate, you can stay in your apartment. The food was good. Mealtimes were times to engage with fellow residents. The noon meal was especially important as a way to hear news from the management and a way for the management to have daily contact with the residents to evaluate their well-being. If I were to choose again, I would choose Sterling Heights.

Feels like a luxury residential hotel.
My parents moved into Sterling Heights three months ago. I have visited often and find Sterling Heights a superior retirement community for independent seniors in the 70+ years age range. A luxury residential hotel is a good way to describe the facility. Three meals are table served in a lovely dining room. The food is very good and there are multiple choices available at each meal. Making the correct choices, a resident on a low sodium diet can eat well. I know that because my mother, for health reasons, must follow a low sodium diet. There is a wide range of studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartment options. All have large windows for a lot of light, security pulls in each room, good closet space and each has either a patio or balcony. Housekeeping is provided at no additional cost. There is a nice selection of social activities available throughout the day and evening, including movies shown in a real movie theater. Transportation is provided daily for shopping and doctor appointments. Management is interesting. The managers are husband/wife teams that reside in the facility. They are hands on, very available and very caring and concerned for the welfare of the residents. When the time comes to make a down sizing decision with loved ones, be sure Sterling Heights is on your list of facilities to be visited.

A Place for Mom has scored Sterling Heights 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
