I attended a presentation given by a volunteer to a group of residents. I also had the opportunity to speak with several residents and tour the facility. I was highly impressed with the quality of the staff and the wide range of amenities offered. Everything, and everyone, seemed to be very well cared for. The facility is in a great location in the heart of downtown and offers beautiful views of the lake. It seems like a wonderful place for residents to call home.

Moved our father into Chai Point Assisted Living at the end of March, 2026. We have been very impressed! The sales team headed by Josh handled all of our questions, and directed us to reasonably priced services that made the move out of Dad’s home and into his new apartment as painless as possible. The apartment is beautiful, with an amazing view of Lake Michigan, the marina, and events at the lakefront. The care team headed by Cheryl and Barbara worked hard to get Dad into a daily routine that provided for his health needs. He has also changed his primary care physician to a doctor who actually has office hours each month in the facility, which is a real plus. The daily schedule provides a wide variety of social activities and cultural programs that he truly enjoys. And he likes the food!!! We are really glad that Dad made this move to Chai Point.

I live on the West Coast. I was very concerned that my Uncle was living on his own (at age 98) in a regular apartment building. After a fall that had him hospitalized for a few months, I searched for a living situation that would be supportive, since I am so far away. I feel extremely lucky that my now almost 99-year-old Uncle is at Chai Point in Assisted Living. It's a lovely environment and he is very comfortable there. If problems arise, and they do at that age, he is well cared-for. The staff is terrific and the facility beautiful. There's an amazing view of Lake Michigan from the gorgeous dining room. His apartment is a huge studio with room for all his important things, a sizable closet, a big, safe bathroom, and a view of the Lake. He is safe, happy and healthy, which is the most important thing.
