Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Huntsville, AL

"I went to Redstone Village, but they didn't have an opening in the area my father was qualified for. It looked like it would have been a very, very good place for him, but it was way more expensive. They didn't take me to the room because my father wasn't qualified for assisted living there. Because he doesn't manage his own medicine, they wanted him in the skilled nursing. But they didn't have an opening there, so they couldn't show me anything. But going into the front of the assisted living area, it looked like a nice little community with lots of amenities, and the people that I saw that were there looked very happy. They had an ice cream shop, a little store, a hairdressing place, and a little community where they could just go in. It reminded me of going into a nice little town and just having a nice day shopping or doing things. The place seemed clean. The staff members were very informative and helpful. They're very good."

"Magnolia Trace was a very nice facility. After I realized what was entailed in regards to the cost of it, I was really turned off quickly. I wasn't expecting that. If I had the money to do that, I would. I do not have that kind of money. It was lovely. The rooms had more space than others I looked at. I liked the layout of them. Out of all of the ones I visited, Magnolia Trace was the nicest one. I didn't see that many people. Some of them were coming out of their apartments. Some went to different places. Some people might have gone to lunch. There were some dropping their garbage off and putting it in the container. Other than that, I didn't see any of them in their areas playing cards or that type of thing. I saw everything that would be of interest for me. As far as seeing anybody in there and doing things, I didn't see that many at all. I saw the exercise room and the activities room. They had a designated area for happy hour. The lady I talked to was very nice."
