"The Brennity was good. The lady that gave us the tour was very knowledgeable. The room that was available was at the back and down the hall. It was small, and my mother's stuff would not have fit in there. It was clean. The lady was very kind and very professional. She showed us anything we wanted to see, but there wasn’t much available there. We saw one or two rooms, and neither one would have worked for what mother's needs were. "

"I visited the independent living community of Seagrass Village of Daphne, and I have put a deposit down. I was looking for a 1-bedroom apartment, and their apartments are large and nice. I don't know how the food's going to be, but I will have a full kitchen, and I like that. I also like the washer and dryer. It's a smaller place than the other community I visited, but I think I could be happy there. The dining area is fine. It wasn't huge, which was nice. It had everything I needed, basically. I also used a couple of doctors in Fairhope, and they're close. The person who gave the tour was great. She showed me around and introduced me to people. She was very welcoming and explained a lot of things to me. She came out to meet me and was very helpful. She was also very kind."

"My mother is living in The Brennity. I would say that the community is clean. The people there are very friendly too. They have two different sizes of rooms. They have one bedroom apartments which are very nice. They also have a one bedroom studio, and it gets lots of light. They have a wide range of activities. They have different guests coming in to play music, do lots of games, or crafts. They also have church services and exercise classes. There is always going on every couple of hours. "

"Seabrook Pointe was nice. The residents looked happy. However, it's a very large facility and they don't have many staff on shifts. If they have 40 residents in memory care, they only have like four aides. It was a high patient-to-caregiver ratio. The interaction with the staff was great. The staff members were very friendly, very helpful, very accommodating, and professional. They were good."

"We toured Country Place Senior Living of Foley. The tour was good and the facility was great. The main issue that they had was that they were set up as studio apartments, and not as a one-bedroom like a separate bedroom with a living area, so that's why we're going to look at a one-bedroom apartment instead. It seemed like it was well-run or managed. It was a nice clean facility. There wasn't anything bad other than they're just set up as a studio apartment. The staff was extremely friendly and nice. The facility is in a good location. It's close to shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities. They have a nice community room and a nice patio area. The kitchen seems nice, you can order breakfast specific to what you want. It's kind of a smaller place which my in-laws liked. It's got a nice kind of family atmosphere."

"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. "

"We visited both the independent and assisted living of Seagrass Village of Gulf Shores. My husband and I liked that place, but we didn't care much for the lady we had to talk to. She just did something that we didn't like. We just turned around and walked away, but that was a nice place. It's local, so we felt comfortable. It was just people our age. Also, it wasn't overly big; it was a good size. The one thing I liked was I could take my golf cart too. When when we went there, it was happy hour; everybody was in high spirits. It was fun. They have a pool and a nice walking area too."

"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. "

"I liked Westminster Village. The physical therapist was on duty 8 hours a day, and there's a hairdresser right there in the building. The biggest thing that I liked about it was that they do not put anybody out. Once you lived there, it was like progressing. If you were physically or mentally disabled, they would move you to a different wing. They would give you constant care if you needed and your prices do not go out or down. Once you signed in on a certain amount of rent, that's it for the rest of your life. It was beautiful. It was surrounded with trees and flowerbeds that were well taken care of. It was really nice. The layout of the building was beautiful. I looked at the cottages and the rooms, and they were both very nice. Everybody was just wonderful. They were just very friendly. "

"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."

"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.
