"I have found an assisted living facility. I'm very pleased with it. It is absolutely wonderful. I have a suite where I have my own private living room. I have brought my own furnishings in with me. I have my own private bedroom and private bathroom. It has a walk-in shower. I have all the amenities in the world. The staff is very professional. They take time to visit with each resident each day as well as take care of all their health care and physical needs. They aren't just here to dispense medicines; they're here to dispense healing. The food is wonderful. We have the best cook in the state of Alabama. For activities, we have board games, card games, and bingo. We have a large library and a large television with a library of different videos. We have snacks and coffee available 24 hours a day. We also have experienced healthcare worker 24 hours a day. I would definitely recommend this community. "

"My wife is at Serenity Place and she has everything she needs. The staff is good. They have activities like sing-alongs, and they sometimes do Bingo. Her room is clean. They have a few books in the lounge area, but I buy the books for her to read. There's a lounge area that has puzzles, books, and a TV, and usually family members are sitting in there. The food is really great 99% of the time. They have a good-sized backyard in a fenced-in area. She's happy there."

"My mom has moved into Wills Creek Village. It's a smaller facility. So, it's a little bit more intimate and a little more personal, and it's convenient for me because it's close to where I live. And it's also close to the features and amenities of the town. There are some nice restaurants close by. Public transportation goes by there, which she doesn't need because she still owns a vehicle. So, she's able to take advantage of the assisted park. She can still live and have assistance. The staff, it's more than just a job to them. It's sort of like a calling. They care about people. They've got manicured grounds. A company comes in and takes care of it and everything. I get a schedule of activities as well as my mom. They have daily activities, and most of the time they have multiple in a day."

"My dad moved to Bridgewood Gardens. It's very accommodating. They are very personable and knowledgeable about their residents, and everyone is very friendly. It was close to where my dad wanted to live. We checked that, and it seemed to fit all the marks, so we decided to take him over there. Together I walked through and I liked it. We chose to go there. It's a nice and clean place. I haven't tried the food but my dad was quite happy with it. They can play a lot of board games. They have a night where just the men do something. There's a night that's for women to do. They have gardening and things like that. For the value, they appear to be very comparable to other facilities. They might be a little cheaper, which is excellent."

"Great place that provides loving care for a family member. It is truly a “home away from home” kind of place. It is the only assisted living or memory care facility that I would consider for a family member or myself."

"Terrace Lake Retirement Community was really good. The rooms were really nice, but small, that they have to put their couch and things in and their bed, all in the same room. The dining room was well lit. It's a very motivated place. I saw the activities room and met the activities director. The staff was very pleasant. They had an outside area where they can go out and sit on. It was a beautiful building, which they had just redecorated."
