Communities in Hueytown, AL

"I liked Oaks on Parkwood because it would be close to my son. We looked at a studio apartment that had a bay window in it, which made the room seem so much bigger than just the actual size of it and I love bay windows. I loved that they had a bird feeder outside so I could see the birds and watch them. They have all the appliances in them. There's a stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, a washer-dryer, a water heater, and everything you need, but you have to pay for your own TV. The staff that took us around was caring, outgoing, and willing to work with you. Their kindness was just tremendous. People liked to decorate the outside of their rooms and pets were allowed. You could plant flowers in the flower beds by your apartment if you wanted to. They have a swimming pool that's not deep and they have a gym where you can sit in with an instructor or you can do your own thing."

"The rooms and service at the facility are great and clean, and the staff is very helpful we have had our loved ones in their three times in a year and Arlington was very helpful"

"I did not like the Birmingham Nursing and Rehab Center. It has good therapists that I got to work with, and they were very helpful. I was told that I would be able to shower, and that did not happen. They did not let me do that. I had to have a sponge bath everyday for 19 days, and I did not like it. They had a sheet of paper with all the activities planned out for the whole month. They had choirs and bands come in to play for the residents. "

"My father in law was a resident here in 2003 and passed away there. Since I have kept in contact with their activities director "Denise" and make things for the residents at Christmas. I have been doing this since 2003 and I get more out of them allowing me to do this and the surprise expressions I get from the residents than I do all year long. It is so worth it for them as well as myself. I think Plantation provides excellent care , it's clean and Denise seems to be very involved with their well being and concerned about keeping them entertained. She does a wonderful job as well as the rest of the staff. Recently I noticed it had been painted and looks very nice and happier. The nurses seem to be very patience and kind to the residents. I am very impressed with Denise overall because she really loves her job and wants to make a difference and I believe she does. "

"The rooms at Cherry Hill were all very pleasant and very well decorated. They do have private as well as shared rooms. The staff were nice and they really have a good rehab. I like the activities that they have for the residents. They were very good. Different churches come in and they also have game days and nights. Some residents also go out for lunch or dinner and shopping. The facility is also very clean. They were also particularly good in working with people with food allergies. "

"My brother was at at Aspire for over 3 years. During that period of time he received excellent professional high quality care. I highly recommend Aspire of Hoover. "

"The staff at South Haven have taken wonderful care of my mother. I highly recommend this facility. I even recommend my close neighbor that needed somewhere for therapy and they loved the care as well."

"My mother was in Brookdale University Park Snf. We're still considering her for independent living there. She did a 10-day rehab stay there. The staff and the administration were very thorough, amazing, and very caring. The facilities were very clean and accommodating. They have all the rehab equipment there that she needed. Any time we needed any information or were concerned about anything, that was addressed immediately. I would definitely recommend the facility. We were very hands-on, so either my brother and I, or both, or somebody was there every day. So we saw the time and the attention that they gave to the occupants. We would not hesitate if we needed their service in the future to return there. She was given a private room with her own private bathroom with all the amenities and her closet space for her personal items. There was a safe for her valuables in the room, which we did not use, but it was there if we needed it. The lift chair was there to help assist her with getting up and down. There's our own call button in the bathroom as well as our bedside. The grounds and everything were very aesthetically pleasing. They have bingo, game nights, and music, as far as someone coming in to play the piano. There's an on-site hairstylist. While she was there, I was able to get her personal hairstylist to come in and do her hair. They have an activities committee, and she was allowed to participate in all of the social activities that were present while she was there. The only negative I had about it was the day that we admitted her, when I walked into the front desk, I stood there 15 minutes while the receptionist was doing something on her phone, and an administrator had to come out of her office to acknowledge me before the receptionist even knew I was there. They did address that, and they came back and apologized. There were some other activities that she participated in. I think one was a sing-along during the Christmas holidays. They had a wide array of activities."

"I currently have a resident residing within Northway and the service has been great! The staff is very friendly and responds to family concerns timely. The facility has been maintained very well. I recommend this nursing home. "

"I was sent to HealthSouth Lakeshore Rehab and they were quite good. They have several places where you can enjoy a meal with friends or with other patients. The physical therapists are excellent. The food was good and more than adequate. The room is just basic, a bed and a couple of extra chairs, built in dresser and a closet. It is very well maintained and more than adequate in size. "

"This facility inpaticular was a great experience for me and my relative. Staff were always curtious and informative. My first visit there felt like a homewarming party where I got to introduce myself to the staff and management as being a relative of a tenant. Given the nature of the illness my relative had at the time, the staff were very compliant and compassionate to the special needs required by my relative. The facility itself was very impressive with multiple floors, all of which had their own theme and layout. The master ballroom was very impressive and felt like a piece of history and nastalgia. The air conditioning however was another story. The nature of most tenants residing there could not be exposed to long periods of heat and any given time. The AC units were unreliable and when they did work it was luke warm at best. Overall I like the facility, staff were great and the food was good. The confort of the environment could be improved but given the options I would recomend this facility. "

"Thank you for your care. "

"I had someone recommend Mount Royal Towers to me. The staff was helpful to an extent. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. I was there for physical rehab and stayed on site for a few weeks. I was able to get a look at the apartments. Their food was iffy. It wasn't anything special. They have dining rooms on each floor so there is not a central dining room. It is not elegant, but it is nice. I can't say that I had a great experience there, but I can't say that I had a bad one either. They have bingo and shuttle services to the shopping areas. "
