Memory Care Communities in Athens, AL

"My brother has moved into Limestone Lodge. The overall experience can be described as pleasant and friendly with a home-like atmosphere. I chose this community for exactly those reasons. I visited some other places and some looked and smelled like a nursing home. Limestone Lodge looked like it had people of my brother's socio-economic status, educational background, and roughly the same age, and I thought he'd be more comfortable with people from his same type of background. The facility director is very personable, very informative, and very helpful. She gave me her cell phone number and her office number. I had a couple of questions and issues getting my brother moved in, and she was able to handle them. She was even available off-duty for answers. She was instrumental in us picking the place. I met a couple of the staff members. I especially want to appoint a special notice to Rebecca. She is an LPN there. She was very informative and patient. She welcomed my brother personally. She spent time getting to know him and explained to him a little bit about the schedule, the activities, the people, and that type of thing. I liked Stephanie and Rebecca. They welcomed us like we were family. We wanted my brother to have a family atmosphere. My brother says the food is fine, but he didn't think there was enough of it. My brother is 6 feet 4 inches and 257 pounds, so he may eat a little more than your average person. I liked the condition of the facilities. Broad drive, plenty of parking, neatly trimmed lawn, and neat porch with lots of places to sit. It had a clean foyer and living activity area. The dining area was spic and span. My brother was able to move into a room that had just recently been remodeled. I think the remodel was completed two days before he moved in and it still smelled like fresh paint. It's got a step-in shower, new cabinets, a new toilet, and fresh paint. The closet has been redone. There are large closets. So he was very happy with that. There was plenty to do for activities but I'm not sure that they were all specific to my brother that he would have enjoyed them. He would enjoy some of them. He's more of a loner, so he would not have engaged in the activities maybe as much as some of the other residents, especially at first. I think as he gets more comfortable, he will engage more. However, every time I went there, there was somebody there with the clients. They were either providing care or providing meals. They're doing things like watching TV with them, talking with them, playing cards, and playing board games. There's a lot of involvement and activities with the clients, and I like that because it needs to be a home atmosphere where everybody's comfortable with each other. "

"They were caring and professional. It was clean and nice too. "

"I toured and we're in the decision-making process right now, but we like it. It's very nice. The staff was very attentive and informative. The facility itself is immaculate. Anybody would be lucky to live there in their senior years. I enjoyed speaking with them, and I think the facilities were very nice. They have onsite physical therapy, they have a doctor that comes in, and they have a gym. They have a salon for getting your hair done, and they have a library as well with access to the bookmobile. They have plenty of groups that can get them involved in things such as a book club and a men's group. They do lots of little activities and things with them to keep them social and active."

"I toured Madison at The Range. They're not going to be able to handle my father. My father is a two-person transfer from the bed and they don't handle cases like that, so they're not going to work out for my father. It's a very nice place. They just don't handle patients in my father's condition. The staff who assisted me were very friendly and professional. The facilities were very nicely equipped and very well designed. It's very clean. I didn't see anything that required maintenance. It's very well-kept. I saw one apartment. It's nicely laid out and very well equipped."

"When we first moved my father-in-law to Pioneer Senior Living at Upland Park it was a brand-new facility. They're very friendly and very helpful in placing him there, because we were trying to find something pretty quickly and they were able to accommodate us. They were also very helpful with any concerns that we might have there. My father-in-law likes the activities and the family environment it has with the other residents. So, he likes it a lot there. His apartment is like a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette. He has his own laundry room. The bathroom is pretty large where he can get his wheelchair in and out. It's a nice, cozy area. He also has a balcony to go outside. There is a putt-putt golf course, so he just stood out there and watched the other residents play it if they liked. They have different floor plans. They have a small studio and a large studio. They have a one bedroom with a dining area and then they have a two bedroom with the dining area, a full kitchen, and everything. They have demo days where they go into the demo room and have chefs prepare different meals for them. They also have bingo, and a sports bar and grill where they can go in and watch football games with the TVs around the room, as well as play pool. They have a library and a golf stimulated room where you can do your swings and see your stuff on the projector. There are days where they have different types of activities, like listening to music or having people come in and play for them. They take them out for shopping or to go to different events that they have, like the veterans parade or different car shows that they take them out to. They have a beauty shop/barber shop. They also have a spa and a gym for them. This place is well kept up. It's a very nice facility to be in."
