Reviews Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community
September 2024
Sentinel points employees are some of the most caring people I've met. They work so hard to do their very best, so its a shame that their corporate office "Titan senquest?" Is just another heartless corperation The h.r. department is filled with morons. They don't care about the employees. They are extremely short staffed. And refuse to let them hire someone who is overly qualified for the job. Don't bother applying. H.r. doesn't care. Nor will they respond to any questions.

Nice staff, kept grounds and the inside was clean!

Although I live far away from Grand Rapids and have not experienced Sentinel Pointe myself, I think it is a great institution. My uncle stays there and based on what I see on FB he has a great life there.

Sentinel Point is such a warm and inviting community. The staff is some of the kindest and most caring that I have encountered. They always go above and beyond for the residents. Every time I visit, everyone is so friendly. The residents all seem very happy and well cared for. Had the opportunity to try the food on multiple occasions and it was delicious. So many activities and outings to choose from. They are a wonderful asset to the community!

I am so glad my mom is at Sentinel Pointe! They know her and are concerned for her like family would be! The new Chef is providing REAL, delicious and nutritious meals three times a week, and the Bistro is staffed by dedicated, sweet, helpful folks! I just spent a week there (caring for my mom) and kind of regretted coming home!
August 2023
Upon our first tour of Sentinel Pointe we were greeted by friendly, caring staff in a beautifully appointed and clean facility. Charming apartments, meals, housekeeping and many social activities are part of the Sentinel Pointe experience. The apartments allow independence and privacy and the staff provide just the right amount of support if/when needed. The activities are endless and provide wonderful opportunities to make friends and socialize at any comfort level. Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community is a great option for those looking for a stress free environment in their golden years.

Sentinel pointe offers a good value for a smaller senior living facility. During COVID lockdowns, the staff kept the residents staff during a difficult time and communicated with family members about what was happening. The staff know the residents by name and are very friendly. While there have been challenges with staffing, just like all businesses, I think the staff has rallied and tried to fill in the gaps.
July 2023
The staff has been terrific - especially Sherry - at keeping the residents busy and making them feel at home.

My parents moved in a couple of years ago. This was a difficult transition for them. The staff at Sentinel Pointe helped make it easier. They are the tremendous and truly caring individuals who step in where needed to make SP a comfortable place for so many. In addition, the size of the rooms, the beautiful views of trees and wildlife ( deer, turkey, owls, black squirrels and many birds) make for a wonderful attraction.
June 2023
My experience differs from my fathers experience. I am very pleased because I see a staff who really cares. There are a lot of activities. It always looks very clean. However, there is a serious problem keeping some of the staff.
June 2023
I loved Sentinel Pointe when my Mom moved in 5 years ago! Classy dining room, lovely apartment, fine quality through and through. I especially appreciated the caliber of the food offered at meals - not just Gordon Food Service crud. Alas, I got Covid while I was visiting Mom at Christmas, and witnessed first-hand the deplorable food you were now giving residents. No balanced nutrition. Actually, no nutrients AT ALL! Nothing freshly prepared, almost no vegetables, nothing that wasn't coated in a layer of breading. I was served one of the Gordon's frozen chicken pieces that literally had more coating than meat! I don't know how a diabetic survives there anymore. And it certainly isn't worth what my Mom is paying for her food service. And the one meal I had in the dining room - there were no tablecloths or cloth napkins. NO CLASS. NO QUALITY.

My dad lived at Sentinel Pointe Retirement Community for 2.5 years, and it was a good fit for him and our family. The staff were always friendly and accommodating, and my dad made many good friends with staff and residents. The Sentinel Pointe team creates and holds many events to help residents connect, find enjoyment outside their apartments, and make the property feel like "home." Seasonal decorations, weekly live entertainment, church services on site, exercise classes, and off-site outings were some of the things my dad enjoyed regularly. The staff went out of their way to learn our family members' names, and always made us feel welcome when we came to visit. My dad moved because he needed more care, and it was a difficult decision for him to leave the friends he had made in the past couple of years. Many thanks to the Sentinel Pointe team for their care and friendship to my dad and our family.
June 2023
My mom moved to Sentinel Pointe in December and LOVES it there. Each and every staff member we have encountered is warm and welcoming.
May 2023
Our mom has been a resident at Sentinal Pointe for over three years now and we couldn't be more pleased with her being there. The last three years has been tough for everyone in all businesses, but the fine people at Sentinal always put the residents first and did whatever it took to make sure their needs were met and that they were safe and healthy. They have been making some recent and aggressive changes that have been very positive and show that they are serious about keeping Sentinel Pointe a first class assisted living facility. We heartily recommend Sentinal Pointe to anyone searching for this type of facility! Steve K.

I am at Sentinel Pointe weekly to visit my brother and the people are all so friendly, every time. The staff seem to take pride in their work and it shows. If I leave a message for a staff person, it is generally returned pretty quickly. I would gladly recommend SP to anyone. So far, so good. Thank you for a job well done.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Sherry took the time to answer all our questions and she listened to everything my mom and I had to say. The food at the restaurant was great (A+ egg salad!) with really attentive (but not pushy) wait staff (high five to Brandon). The front desk people were very nice (I even watched them talk to a couple residents and they were nice to them too). The apartment is spacious. Everything makes me glad my mom chose this place to move into now that she can't do steps easily.
December 2022
Sentinel Pointe has proven to be a great choice for senior living! When my loved one moved there, we were concerned that she would have trouble navigating a new place. Boy were we wrong! When she was unsure, others there stepped in to help her. The daily interaction for meals and fun activities have brought out a whole new confident person! She loves it here! And the meals are exceptional! We are grateful for finding a place that is engaging, caring, safe, and with a staff that is second to none.
December 2022
We are so happy we choose Sentinel Pointe for our Father's new home! Everyone there is so patient and friendly! He loves all of the activities and staff! He feels safe knowing they check on him! We can't say enough about how much we love it and how nice it is having our father feel loved and cared for!
October 2022
My parents have been very happy living at Sentinel Pointe. They look forward to the weekly musical concerts, the trips to the stores, and the breakfast bistro. The Sentinel Pointe staff are always cheerful in greeting the residents and eager to accommodate their requests. As their son, I am grateful mom and dad chose Sentinel Pointe. It has given me a peace of mind knowing they live there.
September 2022
The love and care that my mother receives is such a blessing from the SP staff and Health Care Associates. Not only do they lover her up, they treat her with such respect. Both my husband and I are so grateful!
July 2022
Sentinel Pointe has been an excellent choice of community for my mom. She loves the beautiful view of the woods and ravine from her apartment. The staff is very friendly and seems more like family than staff. She also loves the activities, dining room, church service and transportation provided. We would highly recommend Sentinel Pointe to anyone looking to provide their loved one a warm and caring environment while also allowing them the independence to live on their own. Thank you to Sentinel Pointe and everyone who works there!
July 2021
We moved my mother to Sentinel Point in 2018. The facility became her home as much as she resisted settling into her new apartment. The staff and the other residents are open to new people in the community and made her feel welcome and involved. Mom passed away in January and with the loving help of Faith Hospice, the Sentinel nursing staff and everyone at Sentinel Point, her passing was as peaceful as we could have hoped for. It's a wonderful place, filled with caring and compassionate people. You can't go wrong having a loved one join the community when it's necessary.
July 2021
My entire family is very happy with Sentinel Pointe. The facility is updated and beautiful. The staff is nice and very attentive. The outings are appropriate and varied. The events brought into the facility are fun. The safety precautions against COVID followed state guidelines. We were comforted knowing our mom was happy and safe at Sentinel Pointe. I recommend it without hesitation.

When my mom and dad moved into Sentinel Pointe 5 years ago (from Detroit), it was one of the best decisions we've ever made as a family. We had looked at other senior living communities, but could tell there was something special when we visited SPointe. The staff is wonderful and caring, the food is great, extra support is always lovingly available, holiday family parties are yummy and delightful... my parents are very happy here! I don't know what I would do without the kind hearts and souls at Sentinel Pointe.
September 2019
My parents have lived at Sentinel Pointe since 2014 and have an apartment with a beautiful view of the woods. The other residents and staff are friendly and the staff work hard to solve problems as they arise. The presence of Health Care Associates in the building means that extra help is available when changing health status results in changing needs. Regular activities and concerts are available to those interested. The living and common areas are clean and pleasant. When I reach the stage in life where I want to have an assisted living apartment, Sentinel Pointe will be on my options short list.
May 2019
I am very grateful for the fact that my parents live at Sentinel Pointe. They are happy and comfortable and safe and well cared for. Their home and privacy are always respected--it is their place. If they need support, it's right down the hall. There are always activities going on to meet a variety of interests. The Memory Care group has been a beautiful thing for my dad. He is a part of group discussions, tree trimming, art projects, games, and so much more. Everyone at SP has been a gift to our family. So, so grateful!

I have lived happily at Sentinel Pointe for more than a year and a half. Frankly, the decision to move to a retirement community any retirement community was difficult. I won't minimize it. My children worried about me after I fell and there no one to help me. I didn't really agree with them, but I said I'd look at places. After visiting several, I chose Sentinel Pointe and I haven't looked back! I'm finally retired!! I'm blessed and pampered. I have said that if you get hungry, thirsty or bored at Sentinel Pointe, you work at it! To me, living at Sentinel Pointe is like being on a cruise ship that is always tied up at the dock. Welcome aboard! A big plus for me: Flexible dining hours. I can have breakfast from 8:00 AM 2:00 PM. Lunch is any time between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. At lunch and dinner, we have our choice of more than ten menu items and four seating times for dinner. As another resident says, 'I don't think about what to have, I don't shop for it, I don't cook it and I don't clean up." I have a nice apartment, three very good meals every day, my apartment is cleaned once a week and they launder my bed linens. I don't fold sheets anymore! I enjoy the activities and have made great friends. We also have medical staff on duty around the clock. That's a comfort to my children. It's impossible to overstate the excellence of the staff here. They exhibit a characteristic that makes all the difference in the world. They care "about" us as well as well as caring "for" us. It's a subtle and powerful difference. I'm happy here!
