"My cousin has been in Country Cottage in Huntsville for three weeks now. We're very pleased with it. She has adjusted to it very well, and it's good care. There is a nurse practitioner on duty all the time. My cousin has a bedroom. We carried her own furniture; she could have whatever she wanted. She has her own bathroom, too. We're pleased with the maintenance. My cousin is beginning to like the food. She didn't at first, but she has adjusted to it. In terms of activities, I've seen puzzles and games and things like that in there and I saw a room where everybody can gather."

"The staff at Brookdale Hampton Cove was nice. They were informative, and I enjoyed their input on what they could do. They even gave me a few more resources to check out, which I plan on doing. They were very competent. Jennifer was quite knowledgeable about what memory care was all about. The families can come see the residents any time. I could take mom out if I need to or take her to appointments. They were just not set up to provide the type of care that my mom needed. The facility seemed clean and orderly. It seemed that the residents had a good outlook on their lives there. I did not see anybody yelling or anything like that. It was a comfortable place to live in."

"I have relatives living at Redstone Village. It is an upscale facility. It has all the amenities that a person would want right there close. They've got exercise and aerobics. They have instructors that come in for that. They just have a full complement. They've got a gym and workout area. They just got all of that onsite. The interaction with the staff was very good and very personable. When I went over there and toured and visited the facility, if I had any questions, I just asked them. They were just really nice. The food is fine. It's almost like going to an upscale restaurant. They've got a bridge club. They do yoga. They do exercise classes. They've got an exercise room for stair stepping. They've got some weights for somebody that's trying to work out to maintain strength and that kind of stuff. They've got aquatics. They've got pretty much anything you can think of activity-wise or therapy-wise. They've got it in-house."

"I toured Residences at Wellpoint. It was like a concierge hotel. It was huge and all the residents seemed to be very happy, but it was just kind of like a hotel. It's very similar to the other facility we went to only a little more high-end because it had Alexa in every single room. The staff was very open and honest about what she could and could not offer depending on our needs. She also gave us some other options as far as skilled nursing facilities to look into. They had a greenhouse area and a courtyard."

"I toured Madison at The Range. The people there seem to be very caring of the residents that were there. They didn't seem to mind visitors even though they had one case of COVID-19 in the memory care area, but the people were very open and upfront with all the services they offer and what it took to put your loved one in there. It has a bed, a chair, a nightstand, and a small bathroom. The staff was easy to talk to and discuss the issues, and she seemed very knowledgeable."

"We have now moved into Monark Grove Madison. We have certainly been happy so far after a month. It's fairly new. It's very nice, and they have a lot of amenities and a lot of things going on. We have cleaning once a week. We have a well-furnished apartment with a washer and dryer, a refrigerator, an ice maker, a microwave, and a full kitchen, so that's all good. The people working there are very good. The one thing I wish we did have was handicapped parking. There's no handicapped parking on this end of the building where we are. My wife and I both use walkers, so we have to park farther up and have a longer walk. So that's the only drawback. Once in a while, the food is not so good. Occasionally, what they have on the menu is not what they serve. We haven't participated in the activities yet. We've still got a lot of boxes to unpack and a lot of pictures to hang. We've got a lot of stuff to do, but I know they have a full gym, a game room, a library, a pool, and a tennis court."

"My mom moved into Heritage Assisted Living & Memory Care. They are wonderful, very helpful, coordinated everything with us, and went out of their way to make her feel welcome. They bought her a special candy bar that she likes, bought her flowers, and put her name on the door, and welcome signs. All the ladies are very caring, and I'm very happy with them. I was there yesterday and they made us orange cream milkshakes in the middle of the afternoon. They were awesome. One afternoon she was there having lunch, and she had a huge slice of ham with some beans, fried green tomatoes, and chocolate pudding that looked delicious. I could have eaten it myself. They're nice, and if she wants something special that she likes, they go out of their way to try to get what she wants and make sure she's taken care of. What they did just before she moved in, they painted the whole room. They put in all new flooring. It's a nice size. Even she commented on how big the room was. She was quite happy. She was a little nervous about stepping down from a two-bedroom apartment, but this is more than she needs, so she's pretty content. She went to bingo the second day she was there. She won four times, and she's pretty tickled. We compared prices in other places, and theirs is probably one of the best."

Melissa and her staff were so caring and helpful. They moved her over and have been as loving and attentive as anyone could hope. I feel very comfortable that’s mom’s getting the best care possible."

"My wife will be moving into Regency Retirement Village - Huntsville. It was a nice community, and the residents seemed happy and well cared for. There are all levels of medical care there, from independent living to skilled nursing care. The incoming cost and monthly fees were reasonable. We looked at several different apartments and different floor plans. We saw a 1-bedroom deluxe. It was a bedroom with a den that can be used as a bedroom. I could come and go 24 hours, 7 days a week. I could also participate in the amenities, like the meals. The staff was good. I had good interaction with them, they answered questions, escorted me around, and they explained everything."

It's just like an impromptu lunch they were having for the whole community, that's why we went over. It was just hotdogs but they were very good. They were excellent. I complimented the chef when he came out."

That's the thing we liked best about it. They have "anytime" dining throughout the day. They have a lot of activities available. It's a very nice facility. They have beauty salons, exercise rooms, activity rooms, and movie theater rooms."

"We are choosing The Terrace at Priceville for my mother. First of all, it offers memory care, which is what Mom needs. It was clean, nice, and recently renovated. It had very, very friendly staff. They had an open space that was fenced in. It opens up into a courtyard area, but I don't think it's closed completely. It's got a fenced in garden area around it, and it's actually pretty large. When I was there, they were pointing out to me that some of the residents were growing a butterfly garden there. One of the residents, who was a man, wanted some vegetables, so they've agreed to put up a vegetable garden in the view of his window, because he wanted to watch them grow. Each room has its own temperature controlled unit. They've got synthetic hardwood floors. The staff who showed me around was very, very nice. She was super in touch with all of the residents around there. She was very knowledgeable about the process and was friendly. It's not a brand-new place, but it was very well-maintained. It was very nice, in particular, the interior. The grounds and everything were good."

"My dad has been at Athens Health and Rehabilitation for over a month now. He's a handful and is declining right now but they're doing a really good job taking care of him. They've all been wonderful to me and my dad. They've done everything they can to take care of him. His room is clean. I have nothing bad to say about that. They have a calendar of activities to do there but my dad has not participated in them. I appreciate what they do for him. I couldn't do their job, and my hats off to anybody that does what they do."

"We went to Westminster Assisted Living and Memory Care of Decatur. It was very good, and it's a very nice, clean place. The staff was very friendly. It was very nice. The staff who assisted us was very nice, very accommodating, and answered all our questions. The room is a studio room. Once you see the furniture in there, it's bigger than you think. There is room for the bed, dresser, chest drawer, and the chairs. There's a large bathroom and a large closet. The facility itself is decorated very nicely and clean. It's very nice. The dining room was very nice. It looked like a restaurant."
