Nursing Home Communities in Montgomery, AL

"We liked what we saw at John Knox Manor. They have been redoing some of the rooms, and they were really nice. People were very friendly. They have a place where they play games, cards, and different things. They also have a big flower garden out back where you can go out and plant your own plants if you want to. The lady who showed us the room said that they go on trips. We talked to some of the residents, and they were really pleased with it."

"My friend has been in this facility for a while. I can see a difference in the building when I visit her now. A lots of new people who really seem to care. My friend is always nice and clean when I visits with her. "

"I thought HealthSouth Rehabilitation did a really good job; I liked it. The place was clean; the staff seemed to be attentive. The physical and occupational therapists were both very helpful and really helped get my mom going after a couple of weeks. "

"Our initial experience with Capitol Hill Healthcare is good. They call me if anything happens to my mother or if anything is going on with her, and they can tell me what her condition is. Anything that goes on with her, they tell me, and they seem to be doing a good job. I'm not in there because she is still in quarantine, but we're looking at her every day through the window. They seem to be doing a good job. Looking through a glass window from the outside, it looks OK, but that's as far as I can get because of Covid. Their staff seems nice, pleasant and professional. They call me if anything happens to or goes on with her. It's a nice facility, but they need to cut their roses when they let people visit the window. If they're gonna have window visits, they need to cut the roses because you have to get through a sticker bush of roses to see them."

"My father was at Prattville Health And Rehabilitation for about 3 weeks. It wasn't that the CNA staff wasn't capable, it was that they had too many patients. They weren't able to take care of the patients. I had to stay with my father 24/7 round the clock for him to receive what I consider appropriate care. The rehabilitation people, the physical therapists, and the occupational therapists were wonderful. It was just that the place was understaffed. The building and the facilities needed to be updated. My father's room was acceptable. I wouldn't call it anything extravagant. The food was also fair. Some days were better than others, but they were adequate. Their idea of an activity was to roll the elderly people in the middle of a tiny room and watch TV. Half of them were lethargic and smelled like urine. Overall, the staff was nice and seemed capable. But they change my father at 5:00 in the afternoon when they bring him his supper tray and the next morning at 6:00, the supper tray is still there. He's supposed to be changed every 2 to 3 hours. And if I had not been there, he would be sitting in a soiled bed. It was not acceptable, and that happened more than once. And on the weekends, it was really bad. There were no RNs there. There was an LPN that sat at the nurse's station and the rest of them were CNAs. The LPN never did any work. The CNAs did the work and some of the CNAs had anywhere upwards to 18 patients, and that's not acceptable. We had some good CNAs, it's just that they couldn't get around to everyone."

"My mother-in-law was at Wetumpka Health and Rehabilitation LLC last year. It was a very nice facility. It was impressive when you walked in because there was a big and nice lobby area with high ceilings, but that's not a space that they use for the residents there. I kind of felt it was like makeup on. The staff was nice, but they didn't listen well. We were not pleased with the help and the care that she got. She was put in her room. They were supposed to be rehabilitating her from hip surgery but they just put a diaper on her and left her on the bed, didn't get her up. She was already there for a week before they even asked what we wanted out of her care. I had to be firm about what I expected because they were just going to leave her laying there. The staff was overworked and there's not enough of them."

"My mom has been a resident here over 3 years. Overjoyed with her care, well being and the love shown to her on a steady basis. Glenda(voice of Charlton Place!), nurses, CNAs, Dietary, Housekeeping all stellar. No place in Montgomery or surrounding area comes close to standards set here. Never, EVER have I seen any staff member on a cell phone, standing against the wall or deliberately not hearing a call bell. That is house wide. Always clean, fresh and quietly busy. Rooms are appropriately well sized, large bathrooms, wonderful parlor area for visits and dining rooms always clean! No sticky chair backs, table rims or seat bottoms. My mom is actively dying and since she can’t be with our family, I can rest better knowing her “other family” is loving her. Words cannot express my gratitude for Charlton Place and those who so lovingly serve those residents who are living out their last days. Staff has always been extremely respectful and attentive to needs of those who need extra assistance. While my mom doesn’t have much time left on this earth, she is being cared for in such a way I have NEVER seen in any facility in Montgomery and/or surrounding area. Charlton Place puts NEW MEANING to Rehab/Nursing Home/Elder Care Facility. Actually, just hearing the words Nursing Home/Rehab/Elder Care Facility would bring a sense of dread and mental darkness to my mind. CP defines what Elder Care truly means. I have tried to think of one negative aspect of CP but cannot. Charlton Place has reset the gold standard. Thank you so much for all you do and have done!"

"We toured Merry Wood Lodge Care and Rehabilitation Center. It's very clean. The one thing that sold me on it is the smell. The smell is beautiful. It's not a filthy, nasty urine smell, or anything like that. My husband will have a roommate who is a disabled veteran. So that will help him out a lot. There are approximately only 20 people in the memory care center. The staff was wonderful."

"A bright light in elder care! After so many bad experiences with care for my elderly mother in both large hospital and rehabilitation settings, we found New Day Senior Care in conjunction with Tallasee Community Hospital. One phone conversation convinced my husband that this was where we needed to be. New Day was the shining star! Ladasia (sp?), our social worker, the nursing staff, and everyone there treated my mother with love and patience, as if they were truly in a career that they loved, not a job they resented. They were thoughtful with her and with us, offering services with a smile and pleasant attitude that is hard to find in elder care, especially when dementia, depression, or both are involved. They made sure that when she came home we had all of the resources that we needed and any help we could dream of. We will never go anywhere else. I can not recommend them highly enough! My mother appreciated the well lit rooms, the day room where they could congregate and visit instead of being pushed to the wall and just left all day. The facility was clean, the staff so friendly, and the food was great. She loved getting 3 meals and 3 snacks each day. She also got a lot out of her group and individual therapy."

"My friend is currently in this facility and although she said some of the nurse practitioners and CNAs are ok most are lazy and some are downright rude. They run out of her meds, the food Is often cold when served and the very large wound on her leg is supposed to be cleaned and dressed daily but sometimes it goes 3 or 4 days without being taken care of. She has complained of chest pain and they do nothing to find out what has caused it. She has congestive heart failure and chest pain could mean something serious is going on. I would never send anyone to this facility, they need a good shake down from the director all the way down the line of employees. I'm old school, I believe if you take a job you should perform all you duties to the very best of your ability and not just go through the motions just enough to keep the job and collect a pay check."

"My grandmother stayed at Orchard Healthcare Center for five days. I was pleasantly surprised with how attentive their staff was and how they were willing to reach out to me constantantly to update me. The environment seemed a lot more homely than other nursing homes that I've toured. It seemed remotely clean in most of the common areas. My grandmother came home in good spirits, happy, and in good health, so I won't complain. They help with bathing, dressing, medicine, and lunchtime. My grandmother had Medicare insurance that paid for her."
