    Compassionate attentive family-oriented memory care

    My mom has been here nearly four years and I've been very satisfied with the care. The small, family-oriented facility feels like a home away from home - owners are involved and the staff are loving, attentive, and treated her like family with caring little acts every day. Communication with our family was excellent and they helped us navigate next steps. I recommend this place for anyone seeking compassionate, intimate memory care.

    Summary of reviews

    Sues Loving Care is described primarily as a small, family-oriented memory-care provider with a pronounced emphasis on compassionate, individualized attention. Many families characterize the staff as loving, attentive, and invested in residents’ well-being; owners are said to be involved and accessible. Reviewers commonly highlight one-to-one, intimate care, solid family communication, and help with next steps in the care journey, which together create a home-like atmosphere that some families consider a strong match for memory-care needs and long-term placement.

    Care quality and staff: The dominant theme is positive — staff are repeatedly described as caring, attentive, and relationship-focused. Several families reported that staff learned residents’ preferences, treated people like family, and handled daily needs with compassion. At the same time, there are isolated but notable operational concerns: some families experienced lapses related to incontinence care and personal-laundry handling, and a few cited unevenness in how staff communicate under stress. Those patterns suggest generally good caregiving with occasional inconsistencies in execution and tone.

    Dining and activities: Review content did not focus on formal dining programs or a broad activity calendar. Instead, feedback emphasizes personalized attention and small, daily gestures that support resident comfort and engagement. For prospective families, this suggests a model oriented toward individualized interactions rather than a robust slate of large-group programming; families seeking a tightly structured activity schedule should ask for specifics during a visit.

    Facilities and privacy: The facility operates in a modest, nontraditional structure (described as a double-wide trailer), with a small footprint and some shared rooms separated by curtains. This supports the family-household feel but limits private-room availability and can constrain physical space. Cleanliness was praised by many but flagged by a minority for inconsistencies; specifically, concerns centered on incontinence-care follow-through and laundry/personal-clothing handling rather than the overall décor or comfort level.

    Management and admission processes: Owners are portrayed as engaged and communicative, and many families report positive, ongoing manager–family interactions. However, admission and arrival procedures were described as disorganized in at least one instance, and there is evidence of inconsistent enforcement of visitation practices — a facility-level operational trait to clarify with leadership. Prospective residents and families should verify the written visitation policy and observe arrival/admission logistics during a tour.

    Notable patterns and recommendation guidance: Overall, Sues Loving Care appears to offer warm, personalized memory-care in a small, intimate setting, with strong staff involvement and owner oversight. The principal trade-offs are facility scale and layout (limited private rooms and compact spaces) and occasional operational inconsistencies around sanitation-related care, laundry, admissions, and visitation enforcement. Families who prioritize a homelike environment and close staff relationships may find this facility a good fit; those for whom private rooms, formal activity programming, or large institutional infrastructure are priorities should seek specific confirmations before committing.

    About Sues Loving Care

    Sues Loving Care sits in Parchment, Michigan, at 2827 Courtlandt Ave, where Ms. Susan E. Dornan has owned and operated the home for about 20 years now, and you'll find it's a small, steady place where up to 8 people live at a time, and every person gets care and attention that fits what they need, because the staff, with more than 70 years of combined experience, really do their best to keep each resident's safety and comfort first. The home is licensed to care for adults who may be aged, living with Alzheimer's or dementia, or people with physical disabilities, and the license is current and regular, running until late 2025, so everything's above board. The caregivers, including Ms. Dornan herself, are always there around the clock to help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, meal prep, and even insulin injections or blood sugar checks for those who need diabetes care, and they also help with transfers and regular daily activities. People who come here get a home-like setting, what some folks call "home away from home," with walking paths, gardens, a dining room, furnished semi-private or private rooms, and phones in each room. You've got a choice of rooms with an average cost of $5,200 for a semi-private one.

    The place is built for wheelchair use, and there are safety features like emergency alert systems to make sure people can get help fast if they need it. Sues Loving Care puts real effort into combining physical, medical, and emotional support for the people they care for, and with things like movie nights, community gatherings, and multisensory therapies, they try to create some joy along with the practical care. They've handled dementia and Alzheimer's for years, adapting to each person's needs, even as those needs change-plus, they offer hospice support and collaborate with local health professionals, including geriatrics experts and brain/dementia doctors, so the care stays current, and the staff update families every week on changes or needs. There's also a hospice waiver and dementia waiver, and assistance for people who need monitoring for cognitive challenges or help with challenging behaviors.

    Meals are made in the house, and diets can be adjusted if needed; the caregivers speak English and have training with memory care. Residents have their laundry, transportation, and basic housekeeping handled, along with move-in help when it's time to start living there. The caregivers give personal, hands-on care all day and night, so if someone wants help out in the garden, or company for a walk, or someone to guide them through medication, there's always help on hand. Sue's idea is that care can be loving, like what family would give, and everyone tries to make sure folks don't feel left out or forgotten. Over 250 people in Kalamazoo County and Southwest Michigan have lived here, and the place partners with hospice teams, local doctors, V.A. advocates, and other professionals, so residents get what they need as time passes. The community's got a 3.5 out of 5 rating from six reviews and a community score of 3.8 out of 10 from Seniorly, which gives some idea of folks' experiences there. The slogan "The Hands That Care from the Heart" sums up what they try to do day after day, so people can stay safe, cared for, and as happy as possible, even if life has become more difficult or confusing.
