Nursing Home Communities in Pleasant Grove, AL

"I made a short visit to this lovely facility to see what they had to offer. The facility is fairly new and top of the line in appearance. It is one of the smaller facilities that I have visited, but I took that as a plus because I was looking for a place where the residents get close, attentive care. They have both an in-patient facility with a full staff as well as assisted living apartments which offer amenities such as housekeeping and the like.Also the location is not only beautiful, but nestled in a quiet, low-traffic community. The staff seemed genuinely nice, and they definitely know how to maintain a clean and glistening facility. A major concern of mine was the use of harsh cleaning products, I forgot to ask the staff, but I did not detect anything that would be hazardous to the respatory system. I am still considering this location. "

"I was at Diversicare of Bessemer for rehab. Their CNAs were great but I had problems with the nurses there. There was a medication mix-up on the nursing side. Everything else was alright. The physical therapy was excellent. Some days the meals were not good, other days were pretty good. It was very clean but looks like it needs to be remodeled."

"The staff is amazing at what they do. They kept us in the loop with my mother in law as her time came to an end. They were and always will be compassionate with their residents. This is a really nice place for someone to stay. It is always clean and never smells like some nursing homes do. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone that is looking to place their loved ones in a facility."

"I stayed in rehab for 3 weeks (March 2023) after ankle/foot surgery. That meant I was wheelchair bound the whole time as I did not have enough strength to use a walker with one foot & leg because my hands & wrists are weak with arthritis. I was treated so amazingly & kind. I was responded to quickly if I had a need. The food was very good & plentiful. In fact, I was afraid I would weigh more when I got home. My room was good size. The bathroom was okay but it would have been nice to have handicap accessible there. That was the only negative. I loved my view out the window because I was in an L shape area so got to see lovely landscaping & the grass. The PT & OT was very useful, the therapists were knowledgeable & taught me so much. I enjoyed the large therapy room because we had laughing & smiling going on with the staff & residents. I felt at home & never lonely. We had a Mardi Gras party which was so much fun with great snacks, music, & games. The activities room was decked out in colorful Mardi Gras decorations. Although it’s (hopefully) a long time until I might need to have further services where it would be permanent for me, my husband & I’ve talked about the independent apartments which are in a lovely wooded area. It’s so peaceful on the grounds. I could imagine being on the porch having morning coffee. I recommend this place 100%."

"They had therapy twice a day at the Healthsouth Lakeshore, and it was top notch. They did not have other activities. We were just there for therapy so we can get better and go home. The therapists were all top notch. They really worked on getting people up and moving again. "

"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. "

"We had my 74-year old sister transferred to Greenbrier from another facility that was not taking care of her and seemed to have little interest in rehabilitating her so she could return home. The facilities are very nice and the staff was always helpful, more importantly the medical staff was actually interested in helping her progress from assisted living to independent living in her own home with a great rehabilitation program. The physical and nutritional therapy helped get her back to a balanced state where she could take care of herself again. It was a great transformation from someone who was losing the will to live, to once again caring for herself and other family members. She has successfully moved back to her house, and we enjoy the company of our sister once again."

"The staff is friendly, courteous, compassionate and thorough! The facilityis cleaned constantly and there is no hint of urea in the halls or rooms! That is unlike other facilities of which I am familiar! PT, OT and ST are conducted by true caring professionals with goal oriented strategies. Admissions, activities, social services, nurses and CNA's will always greet you with a sincere smile. Financial office and admin always have their doors open and ready for consult. A true blessing for my Son! Thank you all at South Haven for being so professional and caring!! There is a special place in Heaven for all true caregivers!!"

"Mount Royal was excellent and gorgeous, but I could not afford it with my budget. The tour was good, though. The services and the staff were great."

"My wife was at Diversicare of Riverchase for rehab. It was very thorough, very efficient, and treated very well. The communication was outstanding. They did everything they could to help her as well. It's an extensive one-level facility that has a very similar setup with various wings based on the level of need of the resident. She had a shared room."

"We chose Plantation Manor Nursing Home for my brother. The care providers seemed to have more interest in the welfare of the residents than any other community I visited. It's not a fancy facility, but the administrators and the medical director have been there a long time, and the CNAs are responsive to the need. It's an older facility, but it is very clean and smells fresh. They have beautiful flowers, well-kept lawn, and things for the people to look out outside the window."

"We toured Aspire Physical Recovery Center at Cahaba River and they had beds available. The lady we spoke with, her name was Sandi. The place was just immaculate. It was fantastic. I could not find anything I didn't like about them. We were very impressed."

"My mother was in Fair Haven rehab and we couldn't have been happier about our experience. The check-in process, the spacious and clean accommodations, the administrative and healthcare staff, the food - all 5 star! Thank you so much for making mom feel at home, helping her recover, and providing such a high standard of care and comfort."
