The Best Nursing Home Communities in Talladega County, AL

"The workers were very friendly. It was always clean (especially the floors). I always felt that I was safe every time I visited. The nurses were very friendly. At times they seemed to be understaffed, but you could never tell because of the way the nurses and nursing assistants helped out. Our questions were always answered in a timely manner. The Certified Nursing Assistants were always very helpful especially when we came to visit. They seemed eager to help. The quality of care given was awesome. I have visited other nursing homes where the quality of care did not even compare to the care here. I would have to say this is the best nursing home I have visited considering my experiences with others. Most of all the facility looked clean on the outside. You can tell a lot about a place from how it looks on the outside. I would rate my experience as excellent. "

"I want to give a shout out to the Sylacauga Health and Rehab for a wonderful caring facility for those in our community who need long-term nursing care and for those in need of temporary rehabilitation. I have visited several friends through the years in the facility. Some who were there for health reasons and some for rehabilitation. Each time I've entered the reception area, I've been welcomed by friendly staff and volunteers. The air is freah, the rooms are neat and clean, and the staff encouages the residents to bring personal belongings from home to make them comforatable during their stay. Fun actitivities and special events are provided for the residents and families to interact with each other. It is a happy place!!"

"My father is at Goodwater Healthcare Center. They're very attentive and they pay very close attention to the people there. He has only been there a week and I haven't come across anybody who was hateful or mean at all. They always seem very cheery, very helpful, and very sweet. For a diabetic, they don't pay close attention to that part. They gave him a cupcake with a lot of sugar on it. Of course, I threw that out because his sugar is extremely high, but I think that was just an oversight. His room is a little outdated. They keep it very clean. They have a common area, and they have a little aviary bird area that is encased in plexiglass, so they get to see birds. There's a TV, a couch, and a couple of chairs, and it's always clean. The only problem I had was the communication part. When I'm there, they communicate just fine. My stepmother and stepsister are the only ones that have permission to have a code to get in the building and I have to knock every time or ring a bell for someone to let me in. I don't like the fact that they have to ask their permission for me to see my own father. I don't like that, but that's the only thing so far. "

"You can't smoke at Village at Cook Springs, and I didn't like that, but I liked that I can have my pet there, and it's all inclusive. I liked that the meals are included, and the fact that one of the administrators gave me her cell phone number so that I can call if I have any problems. The facility was beautiful. There's a little pond out there and it's got a fountain in it. It's gorgeous. WiFi, cable, and landline are provided, but I use my cell phone. There's routine little tours out. Like they were headed to Walmart for an outing when we left there. They had nice people and a nice administration. The meals looked really good, too. The staff was wonderful. The staff actually eats in their cafeteria, which tells you the food is a really good thing. I didn't have a taste of it or anything, but I have had somebody there before, and the food was excellent. They had excellent personnel."

"I went to Village at Cook Springs in Pell City. They showed me their facility, and I filled out all the admissions papers. We chose the nursing home because we found out mom is not eligible for assisted living. They could not take me inside where the residents were living. They took me to a vacant room to show me the type of room she would be in, and they took me to the general seating area. The part that I observed was clean and neat. The administrator was very helpful, and the lady at the nursing home who administered Medicaid was very helpful. They were very nice to me. They had a library and a beauty salon."

"My father was in Columbiana Health and Rehabilitation, Llc for three weeks. The people were very friendly and looked after the patients well. The staff was efficient and very kind. It was more of a family setting than a nursing home or facility setting. He thought the food was good. They had some outdoor spaces. They had multiple rooms and multiple things going on. It was a nice place to be. It was highly recommended to us for his situation."
