The Best Independent Living Communities in Lee County, AL

"My father-in-law is in Monarch Estates, and he seems to enjoy it there. The rooms are very nice and very spacious for him. The food is awesome. The staff is very helpful to us. My father-in-law goes to a few activities. We chose it because we can afford it. The location is great because it is only A 10-minute drive from my house and 5-minute drive from my wife's work. So, if something happens, we can get there quick. "

"Legacy Reserve at Old Town was A+. The staff was a little bit older and mature. They were my age, middle age maybe (between 35 and 45). It had assisted living, independent care, and also the mental component. Once I pay the fee, then that was it. There's a one-time community fee, and I love that everything is inclusive. I like their attention to detail and their accommodations for everything they had. When I told them some of the things that my mom may push back, they agreed to be kind of firm. Not saying bossy, but making sure that she takes her medication and she does her physical therapy. Putting things in place to help her do what she needs to do and not let her slide, especially with her medication and medical treatment. The restaurant, the facility, and the accomdations were nice. Everything was a 5. It was organized, neat, and clean."

"I went to The Springs of Mill Lakes. It was alright except it was right on Highway 280 and it was just noisy as an interstate, so I said no. The homes were beautiful. I met one young woman who was the manager, and she was delightful. They had a swimming pool and a lovely club room. Of course, nobody was in there because nobody can go anywhere these days. We're all locked down."

"My grandmother lives at Azalea Place. She seems to really enjoy it there, and the staff takes care of all of her needs. Her room is comfortable and well-furnished, and there is always someone available to help my grandmother when she needs assistance. The menu has a lot of variety and the food is absolutely wonderful--I often visit grandmother at meal times so I can finish her plate! Some of the residents need a lot of care to feel comfortable and safe, but the staff is always ready for anything. The premises were secure, which also lends itself to the mental well-being of both the residents and their relatives. They provide lots of activities for the residents, and I think this helps create a sense of community among the people living there. There are beautiful outside areas to enjoy, and spacious common rooms. I am so glad my grandmother has a home at Azalea Place! "

"I visited here. I have a brother-in-law that's in the nursing part of it too. It is very good. The apartments are very nice, there's one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, whatever you want. I looked at the dining room. In fact, I ate there. I'd say the food is very good. The staff is also good. We've been very pleased with them. It is very clean. They have their own pharmacy."
