Assisted Living Communities in Prattville, AL

"I had no idea that it was even there. It's hidden in a wooded area off Main St and I was greatly impressed with the staff and layout of the facility. It's more like a family home really than a facility. My cousin that has Parkinsons is there and really loves it. The staff was very attentive and kind. I can't speak to the food cause I didn't eat a meal but Jennifer did offer us a dessert that was delightful. My mother had a major stroke and was at a nursing home in Montgomery and I would have loved for her to be in a small home like this if she could have gotten the medical care she needed. I gave the review 4 stars instead of 5 due to it being just a little "dated" in the decor which is purely cosmetic. First impression was great mainly because the staff was so kind and caring. His room was an adequate size with a large bathroom with walk in shower and plenty of rails for stability. Everything from meals to laundry was provided. "

"We liked what we saw at John Knox Manor. They have been redoing some of the rooms, and they were really nice. People were very friendly. They have a place where they play games, cards, and different things. They also have a big flower garden out back where you can go out and plant your own plants if you want to. The lady who showed us the room said that they go on trips. We talked to some of the residents, and they were really pleased with it."

"We are going to sign a contract with CaraVita Village. Everybody is very friendly and very lowkey. One of the secretaries had to bring her children to work with her today, and they were beautifully behaved. The dining room had white tablecloths on the tables. The conversation was good at the tables. The amenities were absolutely amazing. They were having a luau the afternoon I was there. They have a designated area for the lady that runs the salon. They have a little Dollar Tree store, where everything in it is a dollar. It has a fully furnished library with computers. It has a swimming pool and so many places to enjoy the outdoors (when it's not 110 like it is here right now). There are umbrellas on patio tables and cushions on furniture on the porch. I was impressed. I'm looking for the smallest apartment they had available, so we went with a studio apartment. My cousin can't manage a kitchen or anything like that, and this one has no kitchen. It has nothing that resembles anything to do with cooking food, and that's what I was looking for. It's got two big closets and a nice sized bathroom. Everything was clean. They come in and clean once a week. They also come in and do laundry. They come in and vacuum, clean the bathroom, and dust everything in the room every week. The facility was clean and neat. There's a whole list of activities for the day. I ate lunch there. I asked the residents, "How do you like living here?" Two of the ladies said, "Well, it's not home, but we like it." That's what I wanted to hear. They said, "Everybody here is really nice to us." Everything was kept up. I didn't see anything that I thought needed repair. It really was good."

"I visited Second Home Assisted Living. The owner was very nice. She gave me a tour, and I thought it was not a good fit for my aunt. It's more like a home, not an assisted living facility, with three bedrooms, but no nurses on staff. The staff was very informative."

"I toured The Belmont. They're a very nice community. The rooms are very nice. If it's long-term, you furnish the room. They have a private room and private baths. They're gated so that they can't leave the facility. They have a beautiful lake right there where they can take their patients and they can eat around the lake and stuff like this. It's a nice unit. The staff was very courteous. I got to meet all of their staff, their nurses and everything, ask them questions, and just kind of interact with them. They were nice. They were very informative."

"Wesley Gardens Retirement Community was excellent. The community was very clean. It's a very nice experience. The room was very, very clean, and nice. The dining area was extremely superior. I didn't try their food, but I believe it's good because the restaurant was setup very nice, and it's clean and beautiful. The person who took us around was very professional, very kind, and patient. The facility was very up-to-date."

"My sister-in-law's mother was at John Knox at Arrowhead. They had their own doctor and staff. It's small, so you get a lot of attention. It was about the same as most of them, but it was very clean. She had probably one of the nicer rooms. It was a big room. The residents were very well taken care of. They were able to get out and get around. They all visited with each other. It was very nice and very well kept up. The staff I met was very nice, too. The dining area was very well lit and very quaint. They had three meals, and they had snacks in the middle of the day, too. My sister-in-law said they had all kinds of activities for them to do. The value for money would be a five because it would be twice as much trying to keep her at home."

"The Gardens have been a wonderful, caring facility for our mother. The staff all care deeply for the residents, and provide excellent service for all of those in their community. There are varied activities for the differing skills and abilities of all the members of the community. All members are encouraged to participate in all the activities. The food has always been excellent, with the family meals being exceptional. "

"My friend is currently in this facility and although she said some of the nurse practitioners and CNAs are ok most are lazy and some are downright rude. They run out of her meds, the food Is often cold when served and the very large wound on her leg is supposed to be cleaned and dressed daily but sometimes it goes 3 or 4 days without being taken care of. She has complained of chest pain and they do nothing to find out what has caused it. She has congestive heart failure and chest pain could mean something serious is going on. I would never send anyone to this facility, they need a good shake down from the director all the way down the line of employees. I'm old school, I believe if you take a job you should perform all you duties to the very best of your ability and not just go through the motions just enough to keep the job and collect a pay check."
