Assisted Living Communities in Athens, AL

"It was a good facility in a very good location. There's a hospital near the shopping facility. We loved it."

"From the front porch rockers to all the friendly staff, I can say we were very impressed with this facility. The atmosphere is very Home like and they made my Mother and I feel very Welcome when we came for a visit with her sister. My Aunt who lives at the Cottage is very Happy being here. We do recommend them and are pleased with the care they provide. "

"Our tour of Country Cottage - Huntsville was a wonderful experience. It had an adorable setting. The apartments were beautiful, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us a bag of homemade chocolate chip cookies when we left that were yummy. While we were there, the residents were having wine and cheese, which I thought was really nice. "

"Gardens of Hazel Green is a nice place. The staff are courteous, nice, and seem to be caring. I tried their meals; it was good. I didn't do any activities while I was there. I talked to the staff. Everybody was courteous. I have nothing negative to say about any of the stuff that they did."

"We went and looked at Brookdale Place and it seemed nice. Their grounds were well kept with lots of flowers. The people who were running it were pretty friendly and nice. What I noticed was that they have three floors and there didn't seemed to be any interaction between the floors. They had two levels of room and they were pretty big rooms especially the most expensive ones. Their dining hall was pretty fancy. They said they had activities, however, I didn't see any interactions when I was there. I thought it was too big and it also costs more. "

"Redstone Village was good. The facility was clean and neat. We liked the room. It was a little bit bigger setup, and it was nicer. I think it was nice. The few staff that I met were nice."

"Grandmother is currently at Keestone at the Hewitt House. She's a veteran and gets the maximum amount of money, but it takes all of her money just to live there. The rooms are small and have bathrooms. The place and people are really nice, but they only have one real nurse there. There's not a whole lot of help."

"My dad has been at Athens Health and Rehabilitation for over a month now. He's a handful and is declining right now but they're doing a really good job taking care of him. They've all been wonderful to me and my dad. They've done everything they can to take care of him. His room is clean. I have nothing bad to say about that. They have a calendar of activities to do there but my dad has not participated in them. I appreciate what they do for him. I couldn't do their job, and my hats off to anybody that does what they do."

"I saw no hesitation at Heritage Assisted Living & Memory Care as far as cleanliness of the facility, the layout of the facility, the friendliness of the staff, and everything. They were very informative and helpful. The lady said they offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. So, they have different activities and things to keep the residents busy. They also have an outside area."

"Merrill Gardens at Madison was the only place available, so we chose it. The place is brand new, very clean, and well ran. The food is good. I don't have any complaints so far. "

"Madison Village was beautiful and all of it was nice. It didn’t look or smell like a nursing home. I liked it a lot. The staff was very nice. I popped in unannounced but they were still really sweet about giving me a tour."

"Morningside of Decatur was a great place for my grandmother before she passed away of cancer. The managers and staff were always careful handling grandma. They were a big part of her life because my family could not come and visit as much as we liked. Grandma was happy when the staff would come in with there radio and just spend time with her talking , sometimes she said they even danced for her, you see grandma loved the song and dance. The staff here was very professional people when it came to sensitive nature stuff like bad news from doctors visits. She had no problem opening up to the staff because there were like an extended part of her family. I credit at least 3 more years of life within grandma because of the care that morningside gave to her. "

"I thought it was small but very nice. The staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. The rooms were very nice. They had a game room, an eating area, and a piano. I would recommend them to others because I thought they were more family oriented and smaller, so you would probably know more people there. "

"We went to Westminster Assisted Living and Memory Care of Decatur. It was very good, and it's a very nice, clean place. The staff was very friendly. It was very nice. The staff who assisted us was very nice, very accommodating, and answered all our questions. The room is a studio room. Once you see the furniture in there, it's bigger than you think. There is room for the bed, dresser, chest drawer, and the chairs. There's a large bathroom and a large closet. The facility itself is decorated very nicely and clean. It's very nice. The dining room was very nice. It looked like a restaurant."
