About Lockwood of Burton

Out on the subtle suburban fringes of Flint, Michigan, Lockwood of Burton is nestled on a spacious plot surrounded by trees and peaceful residential neighborhoods. At home in the town of Burton, Lockwood enjoys urban conveniences while maintaining an element of rural charm. Lockwood of Burton is a great option for active adults 55+ seeking worry-free, independent living. The affordable apartments include maintenance and services that provide residents with the freedom to live without the responsibility of owning a home. At Lockwood of Burton, residents enjoy access to fun and interesting activities, proximity to entertainment and recreation, and a lifestyle that is comfortable and fulfilling. Services and Amenities The four-story building at Lockwood of Burton backs up to a lush wooded area which is great for taking a stroll or enjoying the sounds of nature. The community's library is complete with a variety of books, magazines and quiet spots to sit and read. The lounge areas throughout the home are wonderful for relaxing on cushy chairs and couches for a movie or for engaging conversation around the fireplace. The fitness room gives residents the opportunity to create their own exercise routine. Delicious and nutritious meals are served three times per day in the spacious dining room, which is always buzzing with laughter and socialization. The independent living setting at Lockwood is not one-size-fits-all — it offers residents options for customizing their lifestyle.

Review for Lockwood of Burton

My parents like Like Lockwood of Burton. No real negatives. My dad says they don't give you enough portions for dinner, but that's my dad. I've eaten there for dinners, and I thought it was good. They are painting the entryway, and they have painted the dining room. One of the elevators is not working, but they are working on it. Overall, I believe they are happy.

Would recommend overall

My brother just moved in, but seems to be enjoying it. I have no major comments but the room is very nice especially with the balcony. My brother says the staff is friendly as are the residents. He's getting involved with the many activities. He seems happy there.

Highly recommend

It is a social place with residents and the staff (but my father chooses not to take part); there seems to be people in the public areas socializing and participating in activities. The rooms are well kept; shuttle services are readily available. Rent is based on the means of the individuals. Lockwood of Burton has been a great choice for our family.
