A family describes moving their mother from assisted living into memory care when assisted living was no longer enough, and credits the memory care team with making a hard decision bearable. That is the practical case for a community that runs both, and it is the one worth testing on a visit.

Downriver Estates runs assisted living, memory care, companion living and respite stays in Brownstown Township, MI, in the Detroit area.

Pricing at Downriver Estates

Sinceri Senior Living, who runs Downriver Estates, states a starting price for each care level on the community's own pages. Assisted living starts at $3,995 a month, and the assisted living page says that figure is base rent only, with Level of Care charges not included. Memory care starts at $5,995 a month on its own page. So memory care starts $2,000 a month above assisted living. One request through Get Pricing gets you the real number for the care your parent needs, which is the only way to tell the two levels apart on cost. Worth knowing before you do: the page also carries a banner advertising summer savings of up to $2,000 off, with no closing date given, so ask whether it applies to the apartment you want.

Memory Care at Downriver Estates

The operator names its Evermore Neighborhood for memory care and its Elevate program for assisted living on this community's own page rather than only in its corporate material. It also lists companion living here, so ask what it is. Across its communities Sinceri describes memory care as three meals a day with snacks, activities, housekeeping and laundry, comfortable living space and a secure outdoor courtyard, with trained caregivers available around the clock. Residents may also have access to physical, occupational and speech therapy, hospice and visiting physicians depending on need.

What Residents Say About Downriver Estates
