Independent Living Communities in Montgomery, AL

"We were very impressed with Oak Grove Inn. Everything was great, even the price was affordable to my in-laws. Even though it's the first one that we've visited, we liked it. We want an apartment that has a kitchenette, like a one-bedroom with a living room, a walk-in bathroom, a walk-in shower, and no tub. So, we're very specific to what we're looking for and Oak Grove Inn met everything. The only thing is they don't have any availability right now, which works out for us, because we're not there yet. We're just starting our search. The next step for my in-laws is a visit. We want them to visit Oak Grove and any other places that we want to make a tour with. We were invited to go there for a meal and we have their week's menu. They told us about all the different activities that they have and how open it is as a facility for families to come and visit. With my mother-in-law's situation, she still drives, so the option would be she could do that or she could do the transportation five days a week if she's there. She just had to schedule that. That also was appealing that if she didn't want to be the one driving, everything was all-inclusive. That's the best part, too, that I liked about the place. Everything about it was very appealing and it's what my in-laws would probably choose when they get there. They said they would be the first one on the waiting list for the next availability. They have separate areas for both independent and assisted living, but both areas are open to everyone. So, we toured everywhere. We were there when people were having lunch. The atmosphere was just amazing. They're updating one of their screened rooms/sunrooms to a therapy room with equipment and everything. They told us about the updates that they're starting to do. Everything else that was included was laundry, clean linens, some towels, the housekeeping, and all of that. What was impressive is that my father-in-law has Parkinson's and as he deteriorates, the price is not going to increase. If my mother-in-law also gets to the point where she's going to need more help, they're not going to increase the price because of it. I like the fact that everything is all-inclusive. The staff was all so friendly and Amanda specifically, was the one who gave us the tour, and she was very helpful. She asked us a lot of questions and we had a lot of questions for her and she was able to answer everything. So, she's very knowledgeable. We met the gentleman who runs the place as well. We were just very impressed. The facility didn't smell like a nursing home. It was amazing and that was one of the things we didn't want, a nursing home atmosphere. It's assisted living with their apartments. The residents were free to walk around based on their physical ability and they could go from one area to the other with all the accommodations, if they needed, like they had the appropriate ramps where they needed to be and all of that."

"I was a resident at Asher Point for around two and a half years while recovering from some medical issues and not wanting to live alone. The entire time I was there, I was treated with dignity and respect by the administrators and all staff. They took time with me after a serious heart attack and made sure I had everything I needed during my time of recovery. They also were very helpful after my hip replacement and the following physical therapy which was done at the facility. They made sure meals were delivered to me if I did not feel like going to the dining room, and kept me up to date on information I may have missed due to being in therapy. Speaking of meals, they were usually very good and served to us on a beautifully decorated table. The residents were very friendly and encouraging by cheering me on throughout my therapies which I am sure helped me push through to finish everything successfully. My one bedroom apartment was lovely with weekly housekeeping and quick maintenance as needed. There were recreational activities everyday and especially during holidays. We also had our own hair salon and Bible study during the week and church on Sunday if we wanted. Our bus driver was excellent and we usually had something fun planned every few days. There is really just too much to share everything, and I am sure I forgot something important. I would just like to say that I made so many wonderful friends who will always be in my heart. There is always a hug waiting when I get a chance to drop by from Christy, our kind and amazing director, as well as many others. Please give Asher Point a visit if you are in the area and looking for a quality independent living facility. You will love it!"

"My mom-in-law moved into Independent Living 2 years ago and has now transitioned into Assisted Living. The entire family is very pleased with the entire facility. The staff are remarkable people who truly care for each resident. The apartments are roomy and very nice. The food is much better than most facilities and the menu is varied each day and they have several standards daily. We would definitely recommend The Crossings to everyone!!!"

"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."

"you can be as involved or not as you would like -there are numerous activities, especially at holidays, excellent place to live for seniors. I like living here"

"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."
