Independent Living Communities in Vestavia Hills, AL

"I really liked it and would probably choose it over the other place that we visited, if not for the location. It seemed like there were a lot of activities in the facility to do as well as lots of outings. The person that took me around showed me everything. The rooms were a little bigger than normal and some included an outdoor space."

"I liked the services, and the fact that with the kitchen you can order your food or you have a choice to come down. If there's one of those bad days, you could just order your food up. I was very impressed with that. You didn't have to actually just come down. They had more than one conference room. They have recreation that you can go to. They had the library, the gym, and several places that you could just sit and watch TV, or you could just sit and relax, and that's either inside or outside. It wasn't just one room that you had to go to for relaxation out of your apartment. The staff was excellent. Kudos to the chef. You had a choice to choose the onboard menu, and then you had a choice to order some other food, so that way you don't have to taste the same thing. The facility was clean in every area, from the restrooms to the entrance, the sitting area, and the outside area. Everything was immaculate. We didn't see anything out of order. The bathrooms were clean."

"The Crossings at Riverchase was very clean. The staff looked very well-mannered. The rooms were nicely appointed. They have services available for the residents and activities for them to be involved in. The dining room was well-appointed. The facility was very nice."

"I had visited Galleria Woods. It was a good place, that's why I decided to live there. I was pleased with what I saw, that's why I would go there. I saw a private room, and it was what I wanted. The staff did a fine job selling their location. It had a wooded surrounding. "

"My relative is in Pleasant Villa. We chose it because of its location, price, and the people. He plays bingo. They serve three meals a day. The staff is very caring and accommodating. They can provide transportation for his doctors' appointments. The place is clean, easy to go around in, and is a good fit for him. "

"Mount Royal Towers was slightly dated, but nice. What impressed me most was the location. My mother was just in rehab there. Her room was functional with TV. The food was good. They were very nice, but they need to improve on their knowledge of available resources in the community. "

"I love Episcopal Place. They have lots of activities, provide rides to doctors appointments and they serve lunches. It’s just a lot of camaraderie, very nice place to live and maintenance is excellent. "

"So far Chateau Vestavia has been good. The staff has been excellent, I like them a lot. They have assisted living, memory care, and independent living. "

"Regency Retirement Village was a beautiful facility. I was very impressed with their memory care unit. It was better located for my family to go visit her. The problem was there weren't any single rooms available, and my mom required a single room. However, the director was very helpful, and I was impressed with the activities. "

"I have already selected Somerby (Somerby at St. Vincent's One Nineteen). It is very well kept, and the rooms are nice, large, and very clean. The food is excellent with lots of selection. The people are very nice. I just like everything about it. There are lots of outside activities and inside activities, including membership to a gym. The outside is gorgeous. They have a little lake area, and the aesthetic is just so nice. They attend theater and lots of activities out of town to different places. The staff answered all of my quesitons, were very informative, very courteous, very friendly, and very open. They have been there a long time, and I like the fact that the people who own the place are there almost daily having lunch with their clients. They’re getting information and feedback from the people who live there. "

"I like everything about the Kirkwood by the River memory care unit. There were a lot of activities going on and a lot of happy people and residents. I saw so many friendly staff, they had a chapel inside and it was just very well organized. Even one of the owners was there, interacting with the residents. I met the chaplain and it just seemed that everyone was just super, super friendly. The staff was very hands-on with the residents, very happy in their jobs, and seem to love the residents. They're going through a renovation, adding some memory care units. The rooms were rather small and needed to be updated, and that's what they're going to do. It was very clean."

"My mother is in The Oaks on Parkwood. It is wonderful, and we're very pleased. There are lots of things available, but she isn't participating. They have exercise everyday, bingo, movie time, bands come in, different speakers, and services on Sunday, and they take them to different places in the area. They have an indoor pool, good sidewalks for walking, a beautician, a manicurist, a podiatrist, and a doctor that comes. They have a big living room and a library. "
