"If you love your “loved one” and want to have them in the finest place for the cost, avoid Knollwood at all costs. Their boutique rooms have not been updated since the 1980’s and there is no hope of your loved one being saved should an emergency arise. They are understaffed and while not listed as a “memory care facility,” they do have patients who fall in that category. The food is awful, they overmedicate and under attend their “residents.” I have seen patients in jail who received better care and attention. The average time for a diaper change is 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. When choosing a place for your family, or anyone you esteem, avoid Knollwood because it is a nightmare not a dream."

"I was extremely pleased with my choice of MNRC. I spent 16 days there rehabbing my total hip replacement, and instead of it being depressing, it was a very pleasant experience. It is very clean and smells good. The nursing staff is compassionate, efficient, and very friendly. The occupational and physical therapists are fantastic. They really love their jobs and it shows. I highly recommend MNRC for short-term rehab or long-term care. "

"This has to be one of the cleanest nursing facilities I've ever visited. Upon entering the building there is no odors, and the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. "

"Allen Memorial Home is wonderful. We have been very pleased with them. The staff members are very caring, efficient, and on top of everything. My mother is just getting a lot of attention there. From the minute you walk in the door there are people asking, "Can I help you?" Allen Memorial Home is an older building, but it is very well maintained, and very clean. They have an attached garden. Their outdoor space is wonderful. They actually have a park that is attached to their place, which is really nice. There are 300- to 400-year-old oak trees going around the facility. It is a pretty place. The building itself is older, but they are renovating the whole area right now. They're excellent. They have lots of activities going on. They have football party and they have a spa day. Last night they had a big Christmas tree lighting. It looks like they're keeping them busy."

"I VISIT THIS FACILITY OFTEN WHEN I'M IN TOWN AND THE STAFF IS ALWAYS WONDERFUL! IT'S AN OLDER BUILDING BUT VERY WELL KEPT. MY AUNT GETS GREAT CARE THERE AND HAS FOR YEARS. SHE IS TREATED LIKE SHE IS A PART OF THEIR FAMILY AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! "

"My mother had been struggling with a femur fracture and infections for two years. During this time she lived with me and over time in a home setting she steadily declined. After another inpatient hospital stay for yet another infection she was placed in Gulf Coast Nursing and Rehab. From day one they have been attentive and concerned. Mom had the flu shortly after arriving and they had her diagnosed and on medication on day one. She recovered and has continued to improve daily. We have met with financial, the Administrator and the Director of Nursing and have been pleased with each one. The staff from the nurses to CNA’s and even the cleaning staff are inclusive and caring. The facility is clean and well maintained, there are a good variety of activities that cover all interest. Every concern we have is addressed quickly and thoroughly. The staff has gone above and beyond to make this an easy transition for both our mom and us. Mom is in the best shape both physically and mentally than any other time in the last two years and that’s in large part to the care The rooms are clean and well maintained as are the public areas. Mom has enjoyed the food, it is well cooked and tasty. Overall a great experience for our family"

"The nurses that I met while visiting this facility were nice while in my presence. I personally believe however that they contributed to my fathers death. Before my Father had been in this facility he was in another facility located in Daphne, AL for a month or two with no problems. Within two to three days of being moved to Eight Mile Nursing and Rehabilitation my fathers condition deteriorated extremely fast. He went from being awake and conscious to sleeping all day long and not being able to wake up even when any of my family would come to see him. I was very disturbed by this behavior since my father never slept this much before moving to this facility. After a few days my father was moved to the hospital and remained there for a few weeks until he was able to come home even though his condition was still not that of before he went to the nursing home. A few weeks later my father passed away. I believe that eight mile nursing and rehabilitation sedated him so they didn't have to deal with him and because he was asleep all the time they neglected to try and keep him hydrated which worsened his condition and eventually contributed to his death. "

"We chose Westminster Village because it's a nice place to go. They have a lot of activities and very friendly people. I like the cleanliness and the food is good. I can't say anything bad about it. Their facilities are state-of-the-art, they have social activities and physical ones, they have a big fitness center, and an indoor pool."

"My mother had 2 20 day rehabs stays after breaking each hip a year and a half apart. Each time the rooms were very clean and the staff were not only wonderful to her but our entire family which is why when a close 90 plus year old friend suffered a broken hip last year we requested his rehab begin at Eastern Shore Rehab. Same wonderful staff took care of him and the network of friends that would visit. I highly recommend Eastern Shore rehab if you find yourself or friend in need of a rehabilitation facility."

"It was a pleasant place with a warm and bright feel to it. The staff seemed very friendly and caring toward their patients and the patients were noticably appreciative of it. The food seemed good, not too bland but easy to handle for the patients so there was little problem. The rooms were inviting and everyone there liked to have company and be entertained which they often were. I was thankful to know that not all retirement facilities were as bad as they were made out to be and there are great ones out there just like Mercy Medical. "

"My mother in Montrose Bay, which is in our community. It is fine, and everything is good. They have something going on every day. The food looks good. It is a good, nice place that has everything they need. "

"I was pleasantly surprised to find the level of care that they provide. It is an older facility, and has been remodeled to be bright and cheerful. I've observed the staff, and they are very attentive to the patients plus the doctor and nursing staff know each patient on a personal level. If I ask a question, they find the answer. "

"Both of my parents have been in this facility for rehab after extended hospital stays. Both received excellent care and are doing great today. The facility was always clean and the patients well taken care of. During the seven weeks that my father was there, he was very confused and had his days and nights mixed up. Therefore, I would pop in at random times during the middle of the night to check on him and he was always clean and comfortable, as was his room. They even allowed me to bring his small dog up there to visit him a couple of times which cheered him up considerably. All of the staff was easily accessible and answered all of my questions that I would ask every day. I would recommend this facility to anyone who wants to make sure their loved one is well taken care of. "

"i am very impressed with the care and love the staff provides to residents. my mother has been a resident for five years and i am very satisfied with the quality of care she receives. i have visited other nursing homes and i can highly recommend oakwood for anyone needing care for short term or long term. the staff is friendly and welcoming to visitors. it is also very well maintained and secure.
