St Anne's Mead Assisted Living — Local services in Southfield

Our mother lived in the Memory Care unit of the Mead for the final six months of her life. Her dementia and confusion were significant, but the staff at every level stepped up magnificently to preserve her health and her dignity. Each time we visited unannounced we found her well-dressed, her hair combed and brushed, and she was always in active areas with other residents of the unit. We had great communication from people in both nursing and social work, and any time we needed to be in touch for any reason we had quick responses with genuine care and concern. Despite the strictures imposed by Covid-19 and the limitations it put on 'normal' parts of visiting we were able to be with her in her room and we never felt unwelcome. The facility was spotless and they made every effort to make her feel truly at home, from hanging her personal art on the walls to organizing her clothing and books for her. We saw the careful kindness extended to every resident of the unit as well. Hospice was carried out for our mother there, and the staff did absolutely everything they could to make her final days quiet and loving, even bringing in an iPad to play the classical music she always loved. The Mead is a genuinely caring place where the good of the residents is their primary concern. It may not have the flashy finishes and front-of-house amenities that some long-term care places show off, but its heart...

My mother lived here for two months shy of SEVEN years in nursing. No one lives that long in any nursing, but at St. Anne's Mead, the care is above and beyond amazing. The love and nurturing they gave her every day was obvious in the wonderful life she had. My father visited with her twice a day and once he stopped driving only once a day; but each day he was treated with the such kind respect and love as well. He was made to feel that they were both part of the family.

Unfortunately his health declined, as he had stage 4 lung cancer and needed the full-time care they provided, and the final 10.5 weeks of his life he joined my mother. St. Anne's Mead made it possible to allow for both my parents to spend their final days living together for the first time in 9.5 years. My father passed away this past December 30th and 10 days later, on January 9th my mother join him.

St. Anne's Mead not only allowed both of them to live their dreams together, they were there holding our hands and crying along side us, as we had to say our good-byes to my cherished parents. They are family and St. Anne's Mead is our home (away from home).

I will forever be grateful for the amazing care, kindness and love they have given both of my parents. The got the perfect care; something that is very hard to say today about most of these places. Most are facilities; St. Anne's...

The staff became family. They took such good care of mom. My visits where often and random. I was always greated warmly. The staff interaction with the residents was always great. The staff interacted with family very well. Family members have direct access to management including the ED. The negative reviews here puzzle me. The food is 90 to 95 fresh. Not Gordon's reheated. The cost is below market. It is the right number of residents. Every effort was made for religious accommodations. Mom's passing was there surrounded by family and the staff. They where so respectful of this sacred time. It is so different a non profit faith based organization vs. The for profit places. A good number of the staff have been there 10 plus years. In summary we became partners for mom care. I could sleep at night knowing she and all the residents where cared for. I am forever grateful for this place its people and...
