The Best Nursing Home Communities in De Kalb County, AL

"Although the rooms at Collinsville are not modern, the staff and how well they take care of the residents is more important to me. Any time I have visited my dad who is currently in the rehab section, the staff is always so nice and helpful. They seem to all really care about him and how he is doing. I am not as familiar with their activities as he has only been there for short amounts of time. But I've noticed a calendar displaying their activity schedule in his room and it looks like they have a lot to offer. Since he is in the rehab section, I am familiar with his going to physical therapy. The therapists who work with them are really great. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"My mother-in-law moved into Crossville Health and Rehabilitation. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. They have some benches that are outside in a concrete area. They do bingo and they have singing groups come. Her room is very small. It has a bathroom and a vanity with a sink and mirror. She shares a room. But she has a little closet and her recliner, which we provided."

"My aunt is staying in the Cherokee County Health and Rehab Center. Their staffing ratios are very safe, and they have a lot of activities, and they're very good with her. She seems very happy. She's in a single bedroom. Station five is where she's at, which is all just single-occupant rooms, and everyone there seems very well taken care of. The staff is very nice. They get along very well with my aunt. She's probably one of their favorite patients because they are used to dealing with people who aren't able to have the recollection, memory, and recall to have a good conversation. They have multiple activities throughout the day. They throw big events like a month or so ago, they had Elvis Presley visit, and everyone dressed up like they're nice, and today they have a pianist come in to perform for them, and I thought that was nice."

"My mom went to Albertville. Overall they did a good job, so I don't have any major complaints in terms of them being compassionate and helpful to my mom. "

"Oakview Nursing & Rehab Center was a nice nursing home facility and it was clean. I went there three times and I never smelled urine, and I never saw anything that was unpleasant. Their dining facility looked nice, and they posted the meals in a good way. They had activities. It used to be a hospital, so the rooms were typical double semi-private hospital rooms. It's not huge, and the privacy they had was still a curtain between the two, but they could move their beds around to give them more room. They could put a recliner in there or a chair. Everyone I saw seemed very knowledgeable, understanding, and pleasant. They would give them snacks, and they were very in-tune to them. Even though this is a nursing home, they look at it as the patient's home."

"My father is in Northside Health Care. They've been pretty good and very informative. When they have any problems, they call me. The staff is very courteous. The rooms are fairly clean. I don't have any complaints. He's in long-term care there. They have an activity schedule, bible studies, and stuff like that. It was awfully expensive."
