The Best Independent Living Communities in Baldwin County, AL

"The Seagrass Village of Daphne was beautiful. They have three sections. They have the villas, which are completely independent. They have apartments, which are independent, but they can get meals. In the villas, you have to cook your own food, but you're welcome to go to the dining room. I'm sure it's for a small price, though. The third section is for assisted living. I only looked at the villas for independent living, and they were very impressive and pretty big. They are in the back of the facility, and they have 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom ones. I looked at the 3-bedroom villas first, and I didn't think they were that much bigger than the 2-bedroom ones. Also, because they have 3 bedrooms, the rooms aren't as spacious. They took me to see the 2-bedroom villas, and I was impressed. They have full kitchens with appliances and everything. Their bathroom is also a good size. They're very nice. I got to meet a number of people from the staff. For anybody who's looking for independent living, I highly recommend the villas. Most of the stuff is located in the apartment area because that's the first thing you see. They have a pool and all the amenities there that you're welcome to use as a resident. The community looks very nice, and they definitely have land to build more villages. The staff members were all very kind and considerate, and they answered all my questions. At the end of the open house, one of them took me to a two-bedroom, because the open house was in a three-bedroom villa. They were very helpful. The facility looks like it's brand new, or at least the villas do. The ones we went in were spotless and fresh. They were still putting together the 2-bedroom one. They hadn't put it in the microwave over the stove, so I'm thinking they are building as they go."

"I toured Seabrook Pointe. I was pleased with the director and her instructions on what they did and how they operated. The tour of the facility was nice. We enjoyed it. They had a nice place and nice accommodations for memory care. The staff members were very cordial and informative if we stopped and talked with them. The room we saw was like a studio. It was a little bit bigger than the one at the other place. It had the accommodations that I think my sister would enjoy, and the eating area and the people, but the director made a good impression on us. When I was there, all the residents were having dinner, but they showed me the common areas and the outside areas that would accommodate the residents. It was a nice place. I would recommend what I saw."

"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. "

"It was the place that I would probably like for myself, but it wasn't good for my sister. It was a very nice facility. The rooms were very nice, and I really liked it. I liked the people I met there. They were very friendly people. I liked the things that they had for the residents there. I liked the activities."

"I toured The Reserve at Fairhope. The facility was beautiful. It's brand new and very nice. The memory care facility residents don't have access to outside. They have one small courtyard thing, but the residents aren't allowed to go out there by themselves. Otherwise, the facility was nice. The rooms were big, the staff seemed great and attentive. The food was good too. They have different options."

"I visited some friends at Westminster Village - Spanish Fort. It seemed very nice, and the people that I know that lived there felt that their needs were cared for. The staff was very professional, and they were caring for the residents and for the guests that were coming to visit. I had lunch there, and the food was very good. The place was very clean, tidy and very well decorated."
