Somerby of Mobile is top of the line, but it's $7,200 a month, and it's $5,000 to move in. They seem to have plenty of staff members to cover everyone. Everything is first class there. It's a beautiful place. It's all on one floor. If I could afford it, I would put anybody there.

Everything was great at Somerby of Mobile. We looked at their apartments and their villas; we were quite impressed with both of them. The staff and some of the residents that we met were great. They were very friendly and open. They answered all our questions. We looked at a 2-bedroom. It was much larger than the ones we looked at at other places. As for activities, they have just about everything you can name. They have more than I would be interested in. They have water aerobics, a full gym, and exercises for people of all ages. The food was great. I was afraid that it might be something special, but they were feeding everybody the same thing. Overall, it was a great experience.

Somerby is at the top of my list. They were exceptionally helpful. I was impressed with how they handled the elderly patients. It was neat, clean, orderly, and well managed.

Somerby of Mobile was nice, and everybody seemed to be very nice. They had assisted living, memory care, and retirement units with patio homes.

Somerby is amazing. The staff and residents are always friendly, happy and are smiling. When you ask for help they go out of their way to stop what they are doing and direct you. We have had meals there many times and it is like a fine restaurant. I love their grilled salmon and my daughter loves the hamburgers. I can't imagine a place that could be any better for my parents. They have really blossomed since they got there. They were getting isolated in their home and now I can hardly get them on the phone because they are always out doing something with their friends. I can't say enough nice things about this place!

My mother and step father have had a home at Somerby for many years. Following my step father's death several years ago, my mother began having increasing difficulty living independently. She moved into Assisted Living where she received PT and OT as well as nursing care which enabled her to become more active. In a matter of 4 months, she was able to return to her own home where she has been now for appoximately 8 months. I give much of the credit to the staff for encouraging her to get out of her room and become more active and independent.

My mother was the resident and after 9 days had experienced many falls without a care plan implemented to help decrease the falls. Care givers never checked on my mother to see if she needed assistance.

If we plan on moving into a senior community, it will be Somerby of Mobile. The staff was excellent and the activities were all very nice. They have bingo, shuffleboard, a swimming pool, trips, and movies once a week. We saw a studio apartment, which was very nice. There was a small kitchenette and a large closet in the studio. We also visited a 1-bedroom, which was very nice as well.

You get the typical sales pitch like a used car sales person would give. Promises that don't come to fruition after the paper work is signed. Rooms are decent like a motel. Dining room repeats itself after a while loaded with cream sauces, lots of pasta and no protein to speak of, gets old on the buffet table. How many times can you order a burger before that gets old. The buffet looks like it has sat and the bacon at breakfast is burnt and greasy cold. Dinner is served at lunch time and dinner is a brunch. Maintenance is slow to respond, I mean like 3 weeks for the cable box, 30 days for Comcast to connect it. Asked 5 times for a washer dryer to be replaced, that was 6 weeks. Staff in lobby was friendly, activities director couldn't be bothered if you needed extra handling. You must like parlor games or alcohol and smoking for the gambling trips. Depressing even on the independent side with everyone crippled in someway. Housekeeping was skipping the cleaning when they think you don't pay attention. The pool is only for aerobics, you can't go alone and no one on staff has time for you. The pill nurse had an aid that didn't care when she got there or if you were having issues to notify staff, even after being told about it. One aid responsible for bathing and meals would get there 20 minutes before kitchen closed so no time to bath over a week. They breached the contract and took appliances out of apartment before lease was up. Some there that make comments about your clothes as if they were in grade school. Unless you like a boring regimented lifestyle with parlor games for entertainment, this would not be the place for an active person or at least have close relatives that can keep an eye on things and take you around, but then what is the point?

Somerby of Mobile was a large community with lots of amenities. They had a nice library area, swimming pool, covered parking available, and so on. The club house was large, with room for lots of different activities. The person who gave me the tour was friendly, knowledgeable, and very clear in her explanations. She was very accommodating in showing us several living options. We also ate there, and the food was good.

I've already bought a property at Somerby of Mobile to build my own home. It's a gated community, and it is perfect for what I want. Everybody is very friendly. Everything that I've heard is fine, and they have everything that I need, but I'm not living there yet and I won't for another five months until they build the house. They have a swimming pool, exercise rooms, all sorts of activities, movies, trips, and transportation. They have everything that I want.

Somerby of Mobile is a very modern and clean place. I went there, and the place was great. They have independent living and assisted living. The marketing person was very informative. He called in a nurse, and we discussed the situation; that is how we came to the conclusion that they cannot help us because they don’t have a nursing home.

Somerby of Mobile was awesome as well as their staff. What I liked most about the community was the fact that they took everybody out for a tour once a week. They took the residents to the places where they needed to go. They also had a swimming pool where everybody could get in and swim.
