The Best Senior Living Communities in Foley, AL

"My dad is a resident of Brennity at Daphne. They've been very helpful. They walk step by step on everything with you. They're very caring and concerned. If something happens, like if you slip or fall, they call, and let you know. They give you updates and they keep you up to date on everything, and I like that. I haven't had the chance to try the food but my dad said the food is pretty good. The facility is good. They may have some flaws, but every Friday and during the day, they have people come in. They do activities, and have people come in and do gospel music. They exercise. They play bingo. For the value of money, it's pretty expensive."

"I toured Sodalis Cantonment. I loved it. The staff was wonderful. The facility looked wonderful. It was close to home, very nice, updated, and just very home-like. It made you feel like you were at home. The little apartments were nice, and you can bring your own things, so you feel at home. They have a nice courtyard that the clients could go out in. They have herb gardens, and there was even a little turtle that was almost extinct living out in the courtyard. They got to see him every day. It's just a very home-like place that I think my dad would enjoy. If he could come home, I think a place like that is where he would love to be. I've met three people. The director was wonderful. I also met a couple of nurses, and they were all great. I did not try the food at all, but it looked nice."

"I toured The Waterford at Carpenter's Creek. It's affordable and it's clean. The staff seemed to be active and genuinely concerned. The rooms were good. The space was good. They offer three meals and snacks. They have aerobics classes, like seated aerobics."

"I moved into Sky Active University Pines. They've got big rooms and plenty of closet space. I love my balcony. The staff is friendly and the food is excellent. They've all been friendly and introduced themselves. I went to a weight class this morning, she was nice. They had a 3:00 social hour. They had exercise classes every day. They've got a book club which I want to check out. Once a week they put out the van to go to different restaurants to check it out, but right now the air conditioning is out, and the van hasn't gone anywhere. I've got one criticism, they only have one elevator and I'm on the third floor, come mealtime, everybody is in their walkers, and it fills up fast."

"I toured Brookdale Pensacola and I enjoyed the place. It has a welcoming atmosphere. The residents were engaged and involved. It was more structured for assisted living. The doors were locked and it was a bit more remote. I'm not sure my mom would feel as welcome there but I was very pleased with that facility. They had activities and meals. You didn't have to have the meal that was served, you could order off from the menus. Stella was the sales and marketing manager, and she was helpful. She understood what I was looking for for my mom and gave me a lot of good advice."

"My dad will move into The Waterford at Creekside. They greeted me with fresh banana nut bread out of the oven, so it immediately made me feel like the place was warm, it smelled great, and it showed my father was going to be treated very well. The apartment was awesome. The staff was excellent. They have private outdoor spaces, and you can even garden. They serve three meals plus snacks, and the apartments have full kitchens."

"We toured Sodalis Pensacola, and from what I saw, the memory care area has more care than what my mom needs right now. It was very clean, well-organized, and well-staffed. They've been there for a long time. The facility needed a little update on the exterior. They had a dining area. They had physical therapists who would come in and work with the clients. The staff was very nice and honest, and they offered advice."

"My mother is getting ready to be placed into Golden Living Center Foley. It is the closest one to us that we were recommended for. The staff seemed to be really nice and helpful. They have an exercise room, and then they have little entertainment areas. They also have their own van. "

"I've checked out Live Oak Village Independent & Assisted Living. The layout seemed to be well organized. The apartment looked like it was very, very clean and very well kept. The staff were very, very helpful. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves."

"As a patient in the rehab unit (skilled nursing, memory care) my Dad was treated with the utmost kindness and care. The facility is not new and fancy, but the workers are attentive and helpful. We felt confident that our Dad was in a safe and caring environment. They often went out if their way to meet his needs with compassion. "

"We found Homestead Village Of Fairhope for my mother. They have been wonderful. The people are very kind. They gave her several options and told us options for when she will need to move into assisted living, which they also have on the ground. They have a lot of in-house activities available like water aerobics and exercise classes. They also do out-of-town excursions."

"The Huntingdon was a wonderful place. It didn't take us long to find out that there were no openings, so we didn't go too far into it. It's an old grand hotel that they made out, so everything was so nice and clean. The person we talked to was very good and very nice. They showed us the pool, their own garden, and there were people sitting, watching television. It's a very nice and beautiful place."

"I just recently visited Country Place Senior Living of Fairhope to visit a friend. I was very impressed. My friend had moved there six months ago and was surprised yesterday by the visit. It's very nice. It felt more like it would be a home with bedrooms than a big facility with all these little apartments. It felt more like a home because it's only 24 units there. It's all just on one floor and very easy to get around from one place to the other inside the facility. They don't have to go very far for their meals, and they don't have to go off for the recreation. My friend said they keep her plate full with stuff to do. She doesn't do half of it because she doesn't have the energy (she's 96 years old), but she said she does take part in some of the things they do. I saw the calendar, and it's full with stuff. When we were there visiting her, two times somebody came in to check on her. 'Is everything OK? Do you need anything? And, oh, by the way, a piano player is coming at 11. We have a special visitor at 11:30.' My friend said, 'But I have my first special visitors with me now.' They had a piano player singing songs and everything when we were leaving. It's very clean. The person checked us and made sure we wore a mask. When we said who we were going to see, they knew right off that, 'Oh, yes, that's my sweetie.' My friend said it is like one big family there. It's very nice. She has a small unit, but it is set up where she can really move around in it. She has a wheelchair, and it looks like she can move around in it pretty easily. They come and clean, and they make her beds. She doesn't have to do any kind of housework or anything in there."

"I toured The Reserve at Fairhope. The facility was beautiful. It's brand new and very nice. The memory care facility residents don't have access to outside. They have one small courtyard thing, but the residents aren't allowed to go out there by themselves. Otherwise, the facility was nice. The rooms were big, the staff seemed great and attentive. The food was good too. They have different options."
