Friendly staff

I would say the facility and staff are great. Facility is very clean and staff really care for residents. I do think there could be more activities on weekends. Maybe even church services or prayers on Sundays. The food is very good.

Disappointing

I don't know where it stands now, but they said they would be getting the Medicaid Waiver. That was one of reasons we moved in, but didn't happen while we were there. They also asked us to fill out an anonymous review to receive $[removed]off the next month rent. They never paid us. They said they had activities for the memory care residents which never happened while we were there. Unless they call watching TV an activity? An incident occurred when a stomach virus was going around & some residents had diarrhea. So when I picked my mom up to go out I had to dress her & I put a pad on her for precaution. 2 days later when I came back to visit she was in the same clothes, same underwear & had the same pad on. While we were there they had different Executive Directors in one year. On a positive note there was one nurse who was excellent & caring with the residents. Her name was [name removed] Another nurse put her priority on cleaning instead of assisting. I wish I had better things to say, but for anyone new moving in I would reconsider.

Our Experience

My loved one was briefly a resident at Serene Gardens of Clarkston for a respite stay and overall it was a good experience for her. This facility is very nice, clean and bright. We would consider using them again in the future. My loved one also said that the food was good.

Happy Endings

We felt strongly Mom needed a place that would meet her changing needs, we contacted a place for Mom. We toured a few facilities, Serene Garden of Clarkston was the first and best tour we had. All communications have been wonderful, we have had no surprises, all her needs are included in one price. We are so happy to see her thrive in her new bright and happy environment. Prayers have been answered.

So far top notch

Sent my husband to Serene Gardens. The nursing supervisor had him sent to [name removed] as he had been to [name removed] twice. They found a bowel obstruction and aspiration pneumonia which [name removed] missed. He is doing well now with their care. My husband has dementia and he was combative. Not many facilities would take him. He is very happy there and they have his behavior under control also.

Would Highly Recommend

We highly recommend Clarkston Comfort Care and have also received positive feedback from others that have visited. One of the main positives is the staff and the care they provide. It's not perfect and improvements can be made, but I am so comfortable leaving when I visit knowing my loved one is being cared for.

Clarkston Comfort Care Experience

I would tell others that we were going to put my father-in-law into Clarkston comfort care and they took the non-refundable fee and went to see my father-in-law to evaluate him. They decided they were not going to take him and then never contacted anybody and kept the money. I was very disappointed in that.

Nice newer facility

I thought overall the staff were pretty good. It is a newer facility so that is really a plus. My loved one had been in a few places previously and none of them were nearly as good as this one. If you are looking for a nice clean place for end of life, this would a good choice. I would recommend Clarkston Comfort Care.

Our Experience

The staff is very friendly and caring. The facility is new and clean. We were very happy with the level of care but we moved our mom out because she wanted to be in a larger facility with more people.

I would recommend Clarkston Comfort Care

Everybody we have met so far is super friendly and we really like the rooms. They are large and have a lot of space. The community is extremely clean, that was one thing we noticed right away. The activities are coming back and we do think they are doing well in that area as of right now. The meals sometimes are a hit or miss, its like occasionally they forget they are serving elderly folks.

a nice community but needs improvements

The day to day staff working and the nurses there are just terrific and so good to our loved one. However the management is just okay, they seem to be disorganized at times and we have had issues with them loosing checks of ours even when it was handed to them. The activities person is nice, but other than having jigsaw puzzles out there really aren't many activities. We aren't sure if it just our loved one but they are not that happy with the meals. The value for the money right now is just not worth it.

a nice community but could use improvements

They have a very good chef there that makes wonderful food. We do wish they had a transport bus that would take the residents out every now and again, and also we know staffing is a struggle but communication could be improved.
