The Vernon Center

My loved one is independent. He does not require skilled care although that service is available should he need it. He prepares his own meals but should he want meal service it is available. He does his own laundry and housekeeping. However, if he needs it it's available. The staff is responsive and easy to work with

Review for The Vernon Center

The staff is caring, responsive and friendly. The upkeep, including cleanliness is excellent. The food, I am told by my friend who is in the assisted living section, is very good. The Vernon Center is a gem nestled just off Jefferson Avenue on Detroit's east side, and I am so grateful to have found it for my 93 year old friend.

You get what you pay for.

She does not like the food. It was the only thing she could afford.

The Vernon Center

What we like the most about The Vernon Center is that it is gated, is most important. The ability to contact someone 24/7. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.
