In the last 4 years, my mom has been in 3 different assisted living homes down below. She was given adequate care, but the caregivers acted like they really didn't want to be there. They left her alone for long periods of time, rarely talked to her, etc. As soon as I walked into Tawas Village, I could feel the difference. People were smiling and kind, and the residents seemed happy! Now that she's been there a month, I'm sorry I didn't move her sooner. I thought that down in the city, the care would be better. Boy, was I wrong! Tawas Village was the best thing that could have happened to us!

We have had such a wonderful experience at Tawas Village. The administrator is completely on top of any changes we have had to my Mother’s medical care and they have just made this whole experience as easy as it possibly could be. My Mother has been very happy there with the staff, the activities and the food. Tawas Village really is a top of the line facility.

Our Mom has been at Tawas Village for exactly two years. A lot has changed in two years. Originally she took care of herself and the Village took very good care of her and provided good nutrition, and various mental and social enrichment activities. Her physical and mental needs have changed drastically now. She needs 100% care for all her daily events. Through out this, the Village has adapted what they do for her. It is of great value to know that the level of care can change with a loved ones needs. The staff have always been spot on with helping and caring for our mom.

My father-in-law has now been at Tawas Village for 2 years, and loves everything about the place. We have been very impressed at everyone who works there; they have all become family to him! Living down state, we have such peace of mind about his care and living environment. In addition to the wonderful staff, the physical building is attractive, well kept up, clean, and in a beautiful setting. We totally recommend the place!
