Memory Care Communities in Birmingham, AL

"My husband is at Sunrise Ridge. The first impression is that it smells good. The entry is attractive, very clean, and smells good all the time. The staff is very caring and personable. They have activities every day, like bingo, checkers, puzzles, movies, singing, and an Easter egg hunt. The marketing person was great."

"When I toured Morningside of Vestavia Hills, they had a man singing and playing the piano, and the residents were there. The facility was very clean. It smelled nice when you walked in the door. You didn't get that nursing home smell. I actually knew two of the residents there. They couldn't remember me by face, but I know their family and they said they were satisfied with the care and the food. I met one lady who took us on the tour and the other lady who was in charge of activities. My complaint with the lady who took me on the tour was when I asked her if she found out about a one bedroom, she called me back and said they were going to ask this lady who was in the hospital at that time if she would move to a studio room and my husband could have the one bedroom, and then she never returned my call. Then my son called and she also never returned his call. Their rooms were kept pretty well. It's an older place, but it looks like it has new paint. Even the courtyard out back where they can go and plant vegetables and do gardening was very nice. The rooms were fairly good size, even the studio room. You could separate it to where one side is for the bedroom and the other side is for a sitting area for visitors."

"Regency Retirement Village has provided care for several of our loved ones over the past 4 years. The Management and Staff personnel have consistently demonstrated their sincere interest in the well being and daily satisfaction of both their residents and the resident's families. My wife and I would enthusiastically encourage an interested family to tour the Regency Birmingham facility, to talk to the residents, and select Regency as your loved one's new home."

"St. Martin's in the Pines was a very nice facility. It was a little pricey, a little bit more than I could afford to pay up for. The rooms were nice and roomy, the facility was very clean. I didn't get to meet a lot of the staff, but the young lady that was the intake person, she was really nice. She even called me afterwards, and every now and then she'll still call to see how things are going. They were doing some activities when I was there. The staff was very welcoming, personable, and caring; she did show care and concern. The facility was very clean and well kept. There was no swimming pool, but they have a garden. The upkeep was very good, the grass was cut. The apartment was spacious. They had single and dual rooms. If you wanted to be just the one or if you wanted to have a roommate or something, you could. It was roomy enough for what I was looking for."

"My mom has been a resident of Briar Glen for three weeks now. So far, it's great, and we're very pleased with it. You could make an appointment to visit. They had a living room section where you would go, but then somebody that had visited had called and told them that they had been diagnosed with Covid, so they stopped the visit. They had their first shot on the 21st and they'll get their second one on February 4th. After that, they will re-evaluate. When you go and visit, there's a phone out in the foyer, and there's a glass. They can sit on the other side of the glass and you can talk on the phone. The staff has been very good and they have a lot of activities. We haven't been inside. We just went for the initial visit, and we just went into mom's room. She goes in for music activities. They have a sweet shop and they take them there. So far, that's all because we haven't been able to talk to her either. They said they have a patio area where the people could go. I think the building is built around the patio area. The staff has been very nice, and the facility was nice, too. Value for money is good. They had a deal that if you pay a little bit more, then they couldn't go up on the price, and we liked that a lot."

"I toured The Ridge at Grandview. It's beyond my means. But I like that it was clean and the people seemed attentive to their clients. The people were free to walk because they were already in a secure place, as long as they weren't disturbing other patients. So they were really courteous and they didn't hassle me about looking around. And of course, they showed me what my husband's room would look like. The room was clean and nice. It had a bed and a TV. It is like he's at home. It would have his personal stuff. The layout of the building was beautifully done, too."

"I visited the LakeView Estates and I liked it. Some of the places we've been to, things are too far away for some of the residents to walk to. Like the dining room is too far and things like that. It's not that way here. The room we looked at was smaller but it had a bathroom. All the rooms were not the same, though. They had 3 different sizes, but I guess that's the way it is in all of these places. I didn't have any interaction with anybody other than the lady who toured the facility with me and she was very nice and helpful."

"It was wonderful. We really loved the facility and the people. The rooms were just very small. The staff was very good, extremely friendly, and very knowledgeable. It was clean and very homey."

"My experience with Somerby at St Vincent's One Nineteen was very good. The staff was attentive, good, neat, clean, and friendly. The facility is very clean and expensive. It's modern, and the staff seemed nice. There are a lot of different offerings for the people that live there. It was large, and there were different places to eat. It was nice. "

"My mother is in Kirkwood by the River. I think it is a perfect fit for her needs. She has a one bedroom unit which gives her a bedroom, a walk-in closet, and also a living area with a little kitchenette as well. She likes the space where she can put all her knick-knacks and stuff. They have a very aggressive program of activities. It seems like they have something constantly from 9 o'clock in the morning to 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Sometimes, they have something after supper including movies. She likes the worship service and the bible study. They do have a pool. They have a nurse available 24/7, and they have somebody who checks every door by 9 o'clock each morning to make sure that each resident is up and OK. They have outings to the groceries or to eat. They take people to their doctors and bring them back. The staff is just incredibly caring. They seem to be very sincere. They are great people. "

"The Oaks on Parkwood is very nice and very clean. Everything is very convenient and accessible for mom. They check on her often and they provide a lot of things for her. She's not able to drive now, so they will pick her up and take her to church, to the doctor's office, or to Walmart. They're all planned outings. "

"Plantation Manor is truly beautiful. The people are so friendly and carding. All private rooms with private bath rooms. I would not take my mom anywhere else! Absolutely love it!! Best SCALF pricing in Birmingham "

"I recently visited the Village while my grandmother was staying there. My overall impression was positive. The majority of the staff appeared to be very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I noticed a few stray staff members that seemed to be standoffish, but overall the impression was positive. At times, some of the staff chatter could get a bit loud for the environment for my taste. However, the majority of the staff seemed to generally care about the clients. The facilities were pretty good and appeared clean. Nothing to write home about, but I have seen much worse. Most importantly, my Grandmother was smiling and the majority of the other clients appeared to be content as well. She had made some friends and met other clients through a few of the activities the Village offered. Her room has touches that made it feel a bit more like home. Overall, my impression was positive.
