Short respite.

My mom was there for respite care. The admin staff was very helpful in getting it set up... easy process. The facility staff was also helpful in moving her in. The accommodations were top notch. Unfortunately my mother had a medical emergency on the first morning after her first night. The medical staff were very responsive and my mother was well cared for until emergency personnel took over. She wasn't able to complete her scheduled stay. Courtyard was very accommodating in a refund and coordinating return of her belongings.

Highly recommended, friendly, caring, knowledgeable staff.

With the cleanliness, I need to qualify this. The facility is clean and attractive. My parents both have significant incontinence issues, and their room is cleaned once a week. Between the cleaning day the bathroom in particular suffers and although care givers do some cleaning it is not always thoroughly done.

Highly recommend Courtyard at Auburn Hills

First, [name removed] from [community removed] helped us find an opening at Courtyard of Auburn Hills as her facility didn't have an immediate opening and offered to transfer my sister in law when one became available. As it turned out Auburn Hills was close to relatives and worked out fine for us also. I have to say the staff at both cottages were exceptionally accommodating to both my sister in law and us. They were always very kind and helpful to her with meals and medications. Would highly recommend!

Hickory Park, Danielle and Staff

A few months ago I started my search for a place with more care for my Mom. [name removed], assistant director at Hickory Park walked me through all the steps to help me know HP was the best place for my Mom. She guided me with such patience, compassion and direction. From the day I walked in, I had a warm feeling. The staff is absolutely amazing making my Mom feel welcomed as if she was always there. The place is beautiful and we were so happy with it being smaller and not so overwhelming. Every resident that passed her by, stopped to introduce themselves and welcome my Mom. Again [name removed] is an amazing person especially when you need someone to make you feel like you are making the right decision for the person you love.
