Assisted Living Communities in Fairhope, AL

"I was very pleased with the facility. The staff was friendly but neutral which is understood in a place where people could die at any moment. The amenities were very good, and included televisions in the rooms and in some cases, computers. The only complaint that comes to mind was a patient that was allowed to wander the halls on a daily bases, and was clearly demented. "

"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 was really impressed with the facilities at Homestead Village. My mother suffers from Alzheimer's, and one of the things that made me feel comfortable with my mother living at Homestead was the way that the staff manages their 24 hour care. There is always an ample amount of staff, nurses, and aides on duty. Every time I have visited Homestead there is always an employee presence. Although everyone who is there has different needs, my mother tends to wander and knowing that there are adequate staff in each room or open area is a comfort to me. I know that my mother is safe in between visits and is being properly taken care of. Homestead has a great meal plan, housekeeping services and what they refer to as "daily task assistance." I also have an aunt who lives at Homestead, and although my mother and my aunts needs are very different, the employees at Homestead assist them on an individual basis. For example, my aunt has severe arthritis, and one of the "daily tasks" she sometimes needs help with is getting on her shoes. From small things to more difficult things, it really does not matter; the specialized attention is easy to see if you visit Homestead. And I have not even discussed the medical care, which is also great. I am just really happy that my family is well taken care of and gets all of the help they need for the little things in life that I can not always be there to help them with. "

"It's very nice to be living here. The administration is helpful and caring. Great food. "

"We were very impressed with Baldwin House Assisted Living when we visited. We spoke to some of the residents and they were all very happy. They welcomed us with open arms. "

"I liked what I saw at Westminster Village-Spanish Fort. I liked the location, the facilities, the homes, and the few people I interacted with. I was impressed with the person who showed us around. That individual was very knowledgeable and personable."

"I visited Liveoak many times. It’s very nice, but we can’t afford it. It’s upper-middle-class. They have socials, day trips, and transportation to shopping. "

"We visited Murray House. The staff and rooms were nice. It was small and did not have enough space for what we needed. The food was adequate. They offered transportation to and from places but that was about it."

"Dauphin Way Senior Living had very large rooms. It's a very nice facility, very elegant, and it offered a lot. It looked like a fancy motel, and it had big columns. The staff was exceptional. They even came to the hospital for an evaluation of my mother to see if she would qualify for assisted living rather than nursing home. They were very helpful. The dining area was like a restaurant, which was really nice, and they had tablecloths and flowers on the tables. They also had Bingo, visitors come in and play music for them, and pastors come in. They had a place for puzzles and reading. The atmosphere was very peaceful."

"I had been to Knollwood Pointe several times with my therapy dog. I thought that it was very nice. The director was very helpful. Their dining room was nice. The grounds were really nice. If I was going into assisted living, I thought I might go there. The location was very convenient to me. It seemed to be a very good place. I really liked the director. She was very nice. "

"When we decided that our grandmother would be going into an assisted living facility and back grounding many facilities, The Gordon Oaks Convalescent Center, was the last one on the list my family and I had to visit.We first walked inside the atrium, I fell in love with the layout and the view the facility had, before our eyes. We were greeted immediately with smiles and complimentary beverages. We were asked, kindly to be seated, while our tour guide becomes available. Our wait was no longer than five minutes, again greeted with warm smiles upon the tour guides arrival. The particular rooms/apartments as they like to call them, that we were showed were extremely spacious and had everything possible for a person of my grandmother's age to be able to feel active and Independent.Finally, when I took my grandmother to see it, she fell in love with it as well, and decided that would be her new home. "

"This assisted living is not a very well managed place. I know a person who has lived there and I visited on a few locations. The first thing you notice pulling up is that the location is not a wonderful spot. It is in a field along a very windy road. The outside is not kept up very well and does not look very welcoming. The staff is anything but good. They act great to your face but when it comes to care they are lacking. They do not seemed to be managed very well and seem to complain alot about the assisted living. Most of the patients have demensia so some of them are not aware of their surrondings and so not alot of complaints come from them.I would suggest not to put a loved one in this place. If you do you should stop by atleast two time a week to check on them and make sure they are treated well and clean. Also I was tould by a staff member that sometimes the bills are not payed ontime and the power, water or other services are turned off. Also the industrial coffee maker was confiscated after failed payment. Which once agian shows the lack in managment and or ownership. Be careful and keep your eyes open. "

"Somerby of Mobile was wonderful, but they're out of our price range. They also showed us their memory care facilities. It's absolutely excellent, exceptional, from what I could tell, and very kind. We could be in the middle of a conversation and if one of their residents walked by, they were gonna speak to them. They really seemed to care about their residents. The place was beautiful, clean, and very well prepared. They're doing very well at abiding by their restrictions that caused so much trouble for everyone really. They offered a free 2-person Thanksgiving meal whether you were living there or not, so I was able to pick my parents up a meal from there and take it to them, and that was just for inquiring with the place. That really impressed me. They were a little more expensive, but everything that we experienced was wonderful. The sweet lady there was very helpful and just really seemed to want to help us and make sure that my parents got in the right place. The staff was amazing. I've not been able to walk and I was in a wheelchair because of stress affecting my legs and my husband was pushing me around in a wheelchair and we came across these two lady workers there and they were absolutely precious. I really wish we could put my mother there, but we can't afford it. All of them were kind, outspoken, and genuine. I was just very impressed. I didn't get to meet a whole lot of the staff. They had a lot of activities. They offer a wide variety of amenities as well. They keep their residents busy and active to the best of their ability. They had puzzles, games, and board games. We haven't been able to experience those things just yet, but they seemed to have a lot to offer. The Thanksgiving meal given was delicious. They seemed to have a very highly rated menu that they get to choose from every single day, probably like being on a cruise ship. I don't have any negative experiences."
