Battle Creek has been such a positive experience for our family. The staff is incredibly compassionate and treats residents with so much dignity and respect. Every time we visit, there’s something going on like music, activities, or just meaningful interaction and it’s clear the residents are truly engaged. The communication from the team has also been great, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We’re very grateful to have found this community.

We couldn't have found a better place than Battle Creek Memory Care to place my mother in law. She had the best care. She enjoyed the staff, she would tell them she loved them. She was happy attending the Devotional Service each week. We could sleep at night knowing she was in a safe place.

The stars are for the lovely building, gardens, and the great activities team. Unfortunately, our loved one was neglected in this facility. She had to wait up to 30 minutes to get help, after pulling the cord on the wall. We were there to observe this on multiple occasions. The call system for requesting assistance is spotty at best, and senior management did not respond to our requests to have it fixed.<br><br>Our family member is now in another facility, receiving much better care.
