PositiveGreat communitt
I recently just visit my aunt at the James. I loved my Aunt unit and how updated the appliances were. Everybody was so friendly when I walked in the building staff and residence. My aunt really loves living at James because she has made friends and has some activities for her socialization. I 100% recommend the James to any buddy 55 and older looking for a great community.
★★★★★
PositiveNice community
They’re just recently visited my aunt who lives at the James. This was the first time that I had visited her since you moved and I was impressed and how modern apartment was. When I become the right age, I would definitely think about moving in here.
★★★★★
PositiveGreat people
I just recently visited James. My first my first impression was it is a queen and friendly environment. The minute I walked in everyone read me with a smile the staff was very knowledgeable on this community and it could be a good possibility. I will be moving my family here.

PositiveExcellent Place to Live
I visited a resident and toured the entire facility. The residents were engaged in activities, appearing very happy and the people I asked stated that they loved living at the James in Ferndale. It was very immaculate, clean, and welcoming. Great Lakes Wellness is the care team and was doing free blood pressure checks and they have an open office where residents can drop in anytime. The manager was very friendly and answered all my questions. I can definitely live there myself.
★★★★★
PositiveI recently visited the James in Ferndale. My first impression was this Senior community was beautiful from the moment she walked in the doors. Staff was very friendly and very helpful on answering all of my questions and concerns. My tour was fabulous with [name removed]. She was so excited and was a pleasure to interact with. I will be placing my family member in the next couple of months when we are ready to move. I recommend this place just from what I first encountered.
