Nursing Home Communities in Wetumpka, AL

"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 went through rehab at the Golden LivingCenter, and it was very good. I was very happy with them. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and very encouraging. Their rehab staff was very competent. They’re undergoing construction right now, but except for that, everything is just lovely. Their rehab is one of the few that have private rooms for their rehab patients; and on the long-term end, their nursing home offers private rooms, which were what we were the most interested in. The food was OK, but it would really take a lot of money to have a menu so diverse that everybody would be happy. "

"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 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. "

"The staff at Cedar Crest was nice, friendly, and gave me a nice tour. It was well maintained. "

"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."

"Woodley Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center was well kept and clean. The staff was nice and friendly. They had an activity schedule of different things going on, and it seemed well organized and reasonable. The dining area was nice and well kept. They had residents in there at the time I visited, and the room seemed clean and well kept. "

"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. "

"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."
