Nursing Home Communities in Madison, AL

"I moved my mom to Regency Health Care and Rehabilitation Center. She loves it, and we love it. The staff is good. They're a step ahead of me, and before I ask it's done. The food is good and the room is big. She has her full bath."

"The staff at this facility were, for the most part, hard working and friendly; however, we did experience a couple of employees that would mistreat our family member and we reported them immediately. The facility was in an older building and while there was room for improvement, there were new renovations going on to keep the rooms and equipment up to date. All in all, I would have to say that our experience here was enjoyable. There are pros and cons to all long term care facilities. "

"Huntsville Health & Rehab has one side of the building for long term skilled nursing. The other side is for rehab, and it is intended for short term although they probably have a number of people who are on that side and will be there for a longer term than you might expect. The rooms are very small. They are all semi-private because that part of the building is not intended for long term. They save the private rooms for long term care which I can certainly understand. They are small though, and that would be my number one complaint. It is clean, and I think they did very well with the therapy having physical, occupational and speech therapy six days a week. It is a small facility with only 50 rooms. It is not as overwhelming as some of the places where you are in a much larger facility. They have a complete list of things for them to do beyond just the therapy. They have people coming in doing stuff, and they have activities in the day room. We narrowed it down to about five or six that we would have been OK with. We obviously had some preferences. This is in the top three for us, and we would recommend it. "

"My wife was at Willowbrooke Court at Magnolia Trace for rehab. It was a nice place, and they gave her excellent care. They were well-equipped. My wife had a private room with two beds in it, a private bath, and it was adequate. She had good food, and she was very pleased with their care. Her therapy went well. The staff was very caring and very responsive. They allowed her to participate in some games and she also had some entertainment at times. They had a central location for television where they showed some special programs."

"My Father was a resident in the Alzheimer's unit. He recently passed away a few months ago. In the chaos of everyday life I never got a chance to thank y'all for the care you gave my Dad. I know the VA gets a bad rap in the press but every time I came to see him he was clean, well fed and happy and well taken care of. I thank y'all for that. Your staff was always caring and attentive to not just my Dad but to every person I saw them interact with. You should be proud of your people and pleaase thank them all for me. "

"This is an older facility but is clean and well taken care of. The staff is wonderful to the patients every time we are there. My mom is amazed at the food. She says it is very tasty and that there is plenty to eat. We would recommend Whitesburg gardens to others looking for a nursing home."

"Mom is in Athens Convalescent Center. The staff is friendly, but the food is inadequate and it's not decorated well inside or out. It's often not clean, and it smells bad. They're not encouraged to do any activities, nor have I witnessed any activities. It's understaffed."

"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."

"I have had both knees replaced ant the PT is second to none. The rooms are very Spacious. The staff could not have treated my any better"

"Thank you for caring for Daddy in his final days. He loved your banana pudding, and my brother and I appreciated the 24 hour medical support. It is your kind and caring staff that stands out. A big thank you to Vanessa, Sarah and all the other wonderful folks there."

"I found this facility lacking in medical attention given my mother. I found that the physician only came around once per week and was never available for the family to consult with. I found that, although my mom was one week from death and coughing continually from kidney failure, the staff made no effort to see that she got the proper medical care. I had to make the call which was too late. I was depending on the nurses to know what her problem was and get her treatment. They said no, I was the one who determines if she needs hospital care. What are the trained nurses role here? "

"My mom is at South Hampton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. I chose them because of the staff and the rating. The staff is very friendly. They seem to care about their patients. It's very clean. I tasted the food, and it was good. They have a great menu. I haven't seen the activities, but they have posted them."

"My father-in-law was at Elk River Health and Rehab, but he passed away. We chose it because it was located near our home. It was just right down the road from where we live, so we decided to go with that. It's a nursing home, but they offer rehabilitation services also. He was admitted there from the hospital to get some rehab and to build him up, but he ended up passing away before we could get him built up. It's an older facility, but they're in the process of building a brand new one. It will probably be built next year. The staff members were very good. They answered all of our questions. They were very helpful. We were not allowed to go in because of the COVID situation. They have a no-visitor policy, but they always welcomed us to the window. We would come in and they would let us talk to him on the phone. They were just very friendly and helpful. They took very good care of him."

"I recently spent 21 says in Summerford Rehab after 25 days in Huntsville Hospital. I was admitted for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Had it not been for the positive, upbeat, personalities of the staff it would have been very depressing. The nursing staff (RNs, LPNs, and aides) lead the charge on providing a great atmosphere for patients. Housekeepers projected friendly, caring contact when cleaning rooms. From the fantastic knowledgeable therapy staff, to social services and beyond proved themselves dedicated to their callings. One staffer in particular rose to the top in obtaining my respect and admiration. She went on dealing with issues which I faced even after I was discharged. This beautiful, caring heart took the patient care mission to a new level. KYLA, YOU ROCK! And, I highly recommend Summerford for the epitome of quality care. Thanks to everyone on the team."
